Reviews

Julie Just of The New York Times said of 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up that the reader will "be grateful to discover or revisit and many more that have been all but forgotten." ^[1] Similarly, Meghan Cox Gurdon of The Wall Street Journal said that "and, happily, what the Internet taketh, by tempting children away from reading, it giveth back to parents, by making it easy for them to locate obscure books that might be otherwise be impossible to find." ^[3] Roger Ebert tweeted about it, saying "with bright pictures and easy prose, this could be the first." ^[9]
