For our mission please see About Us and for our background Come On In.
Basically it comes down to this. We love reading and think it is one of the most important gifts a child can enjoy today. In the crush of our busy lives, the joy and value of reading can sometimes be pushed to the side by glitzier but less fulfilling activities. We want to make it possible for those that love children and reading to easily and quickly find those books most likely to appeal to a particular child and their special interests. And finally, we started this site as a means of building a community of those with whom we have often had the most rewarding conversations; people that love reading and children's books.
