Book Reviews/Critiques for Parents?


Recommended Posts

Do any of you know if there is a website or resource out there that parents can go to in order to find out about the objectionable content (or lack of) in any given book?

 

I'd like to know what my child is going to encounter before giving him a book, but obviously I wouldn't have time to read everything ahead of time.

 

I guess it'd be something like the movie review website Kids In Mind.

 

Thanks!

Not many good ones. A true review is a critique of the content and writing, but most sites offer only summaries of plot or general ratings that don't help much. What kinds of books are you wanting to preview, school reading or books for pleasure (or both)? I usually have the best luck Googling the title of a specific book along with the word "review" or something like that.
