DOGObooks describe themselves as an online place where kids discover, review and rate books. Their goal is to provide a fun, safe and interactive environment for children to share their reactions, thoughts, and opinions about books. All book reviews are moderated and approved by DOGObooks before being published.

You’ll want to check here often because new games added all the time. One example is: Enter to win a free copy of National Geographic Kids Almanac 2019 by National Geographic Kids.
DOGObooks’ motto is “Books Reviewed by Kids for Kids.” Each review is required to have a word count of at least 25 words. DOGObooks will moderate and approve all posts before posting them. We found it interesting seeing which books have reviewed the most so far. Reading reviews written directly by the children who learn those offers some insight that may be missed by an adult.
