This page is exclusively for children’s books. Adults, read the reviews and remember your childhood books that stayed with you! Astrid Lindgren, A.A. Milne, E.B. White – just a few names you’ll no doubt recognise.

I feel strongly about opening up the wonderful world of books for children. If we can show children how fascinating, motivating and enchanting reading is we are already providing them with a better tomorrow!
A growing number of readers would like to read an audiobook - listen to it during a car drive or doing chores or perhaps just relaxing in a chair.

That’s why I also review audiobooks and hopefully, you will be interested. Read the audiobook reviews and get inspired!
