Do you have a children’s picture book you’d like me to review? If you have a hard copy or digital ARC you’d be willing to send me, I may be able to review it in return! I will post the review on my blog and cross-post to Goodreads, Amazon.com, Twitter and Facebook. NOTE: At this time I am only accepting picture books due to time restraints.

* I obviously can’t review every book that comes my way. For that reason, I am currently limiting reviews for this site to picture books. I am also more likely to review books published by traditional publishing houses and small presses over self-published books, unless you wow me with your summary. Thanks for understanding!
