Review

An well organized reference book that will advise young readers and their parents on a wide range of books that are recommend as must reads before they grow up. The book is divided into sections by age but readers are encouraged to read in any order that suits them. A genre breakdown is included in the back, so readers can choose books by genre as well.

The illustrations are bright and interesting and make the text blocks easier to read. Ages, genre, publisher, publication date, page count and a do you know question are included with each book summary. Suggestions on what to read next are also included with each summary which will be very helpful to reader looking for similar titles.

The book is very user friendly and provides a comprehensive list of books that would be very handy in the classroom and for individual homes.

A recommended purchase for any library.
