We are asking families to read together and send us a book review of a favourite book. This does not need to be very long or complex.
A book review should tell us something about the story and characters. It should provide us with your opinion and ideally it should have your key reasons for that opinion. Be sure to include the name of the author and title and for what ages you recommended it. We are happy for you to use your own simple format …
If you want ideas, here’s some links to help you explore:
- lots of reviews here on the Childrens’ Book Council Reading Time website. A great place to start
- Mesna website: book review writing for more accomplished writers
- If you’re not sure how to get started.
- A detailed review of Mr Huff
