Hey, Candy,
The story you talk about sounds interesting. I’m sure children will enjoy reading it.
I love stories with plot twists, and it seems this is one of them.
I think it’s important to help kids develop an interest in literature. If we as adults could guide them, the world would be a different place.
Thanks for sharing your review.
Hi Enrique, thanks for your comment. Do stop by again. I promise in time this site will have something for everyone.
Hi Candy! Thank you for sharing your review of Hide and Seek. It seems like an interesting and cute little read. I’m always on the lookout for new books for myself to read or to recommend to my friends and family, especially those who have little ones. I noticed you said you had wished that the book had more content, but I believe it’s important to consider that books geared towards children are going to be on the shorter side so as to keep them engaged fur the duration of the read. Looking forward to seeing more book reviews from you!
Hi Rachel, thanks for your comment. Even though I posted this review, the review of Hide and Seek was actually written by a 12 year old with some verbal input from his six-year-old brother. I thought it important to have children give their take on all the children’s books on this site. This is important because as you pointed out it was written with them in mind. So that was their take on the book.
