Reviews

[Sophie Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

A helpful resource that gives useful ideas of the books that you child is likely to want to read. It is written in a clear, direct manner. It gives an idea of the difficulty of each book and on each review it gives a few suggestions of other books your child may wish to read. It gives reviews of old favourites like 'Fantastic Mr Fox' but also gives reviews of more recent fiction.
