Bookie Woogie

One of the many reasons why I love children’s books is because of the opportunity they provide for family involvement. A perfect example of this is the children’s book review site Bookie Woogie. Where other sites simply write reviews, writer/illustrator Aaron Zenz decided to take it a step farther and interview his kids about the books they were reading together as a family. Though Isaac (age 10), Gracie (age 8,) and Lily (age 5) provide honest opinions (and say some really cute things), my favorite feature of the site is the artwork that the trio produces inspired by the featured read. The site is young so though the number of reviews are small the quality of the books reviewed (among them are books by Mo Willems, Louis Sachar, and Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Jen Corace) are not.
