How important is getting a child to read? Very important! Study after study confirms this...as well as my mother and third grade teacher, who encouraged me to read all the time. I’m definitely a better person for it. Just ask my mom!

 BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle is for your kids to review books.

Your child is invited to review a book!
Getting your kids to read has never been this easy — sign up your 8 - 14 year old for the BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle, and they’ll receive:

     •    A special pre-release edition of the magical new children’s book, The Sword
          of Darrow (limited to the first 1000 who sign up)
     •    An official BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle membership certificate
     •    A signed copy of The Sword of Darrow when it’s officially released next year
     •    Your child’s name printed inside the book, recognizing them as a member of
          the BenBella Books Young Reviewers Circle

Let your kid be the critic
Why is BenBella Books inviting your child to join their Young Reviewers Circle? They want your young reader to share their thoughts about The Sword of Darrow and what they’d like to see in the sequel to make it even better than the first. We’re pretty sure it’s the first time ever that a national publisher has asked kids to help review and develop their books, so don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity.

Happy reading!

Parenting.com has come up with a list of the top 30 books that should be read to your children. I looked through the list, and I have read these books as a child, and continue to share my love of these books with my own child.

How about you?
