Hi! I’m Jess and I’ll be your book reviewer. Not just any old books, either! Children’s books. Kid lit. Picture books, middle readers, novels – the works!

I have absolutely no credentials to speak of, save for the fact that I taught elementary school, worked for 8 years on a children’s website as a writer, and aspire to have my own works published one day.

OK, so I have a few credentials.

Helping me along the way will be my little daughter who (for the purposes of internet anonymity) will be called “The Grumpkin.” She is presently 13 months old, but you better believe she has an opinion about what constitutes a good story (hint: it has rhyming words and colorful pictures).

I take requests, love to hear any kind of feedback, and would be more than happy to review your novel or accept large shipments of free books. Mostly the last one.

So, without further ado, let’s get started!
