If you’re a bibliophile, do something grand for a favorite kidlit book today. Write an online review!
It need not be of professional magazine quality—just show your love with some stars on an online book site!
According to a study from Stanford University, when x-star ratings increase in number, it’s more likely for the next review to be of that same star. So if you show your love for a particular book with 4 or 5 stars, other people will, too. It’s contagious!
Some tips when writing reviews:
If your rating is really 3 1/2 or 4 1/2, round off to the next higher number. The author will thank you for it.- Emphasize the child-pleasing qualities of the book. Parents want to know their kids will like it. An adult liking it may not hold weight for them.
- Talk about both the text and the illustrations.
Erm, that’s about it. I want this to be an achievable goal for you today.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love a book!
