​"​

We're lucky to live in a world where fantastic children's books are published every week.  Every day I review a book published this year.  Although I may mention things about books that I don't like ("Cons"), I only choose books for which I feel I can give a mostly positive review

​. ​

I try to find books that would appeal to kids and/or fit in well with the elementary school curriculum.  All books come from my local public library, and I do not benefit in any way from my reviews (except for the warm, fuzzy feeling of sharing good books with readers)​.

John Green kicks off the Crash Course Literature mini series with a reasonable set of questions. Why do we read? What's the point of reading critically. John will argue that reading is about effectively communicating with other people. Unlike a direct communication though, the writer has to communicate with a stranger, through time and space, with only "dry dead words on a page."
