Since you are reading this you perhaps like reading yourself? Want to keep encouraging the reader in your child? It can be hard to find interesting books step into any bookshop or library and it’s pretty overwhelming. Lots of good books and new ones available everyday.

Here’s a place you can visit to get great book recommendations for schools, families and parents.

Readingzone.com is a reading site for all the family. It’s aimed at children, their parents, young adults and schools. It’s bursting with news, book reviews, by children and adults, latest titles and author interviews.

ReadingZone.com is dedicated to helping young people, parents & adults and teachers to find out about children’s books. Each area on the site provides information about new and classic titles with expert advice to help you find the best children’s books available.

I would recommend the Family zone. It has been created with the support from independent publishers Usborne Books, Amazing Baby (Templar) and Barefoot Books. Under books we love, I see one book that would fit us right now
