The Book Wars

We possess, among other things, an incalculable enthusiasm for children's literature which led to our second possession, all of us have a Masters of Arts in Children's Literature. Does that give some legitimacy to our reviews and articles? We like to think it does!

Here you will find unadulterated fangirling of children's books, authors, and bookstores. We present to you a variety of perspectives and we talk about a variety of books. All of us have different areas of interest and all articles posted belong, and are copyrighted, to us unless otherwise stated. If you are an academic and wish to guest post, email us. If you are an author/publisher and would like us to review your book, check out the manifesto and the review policy for more information. If you are a reader, we love you!
