Reviews with a Mission

Before we actually do any reviews on this blog, I felt it necessary to introduce myself as well as to describe the purpose of this blog. I am Amber Timlin. I have a Bachelors degree from Kutztown University for Library Science. I have been in love with books for as long as I can remember. Many of my young years were spent reading and being a little reviewer for my father, Tom Timlin, President of Jabberwocky Books For Kids. As a teen and a young adult I have worked with my father in this business, learning anything he will teach me. In college I took on a new perspective on evaluating books for children. I began to think not only how books could effect individual readers, but how they could be incorporated into the classroom, and used in an instructional manner.

It is the purpose of this blog to give teachers and parents an honest review of books and how they can be used to help children and students. As well as providing a place for those readers to comment and discuss these books and other related topics. Jabberwocky Books has always been dedicated to providing high quality reading material to young readers, and we hope that these reviews will further aide in getting these books into students hands, whether it is through one of our bookfairs, in a class, or from the library. Reading is important and we strive to help give every student a love of reading.

And so without further pomp or ado, we introduce this new addition to the services of Jabberwocky Books.
