Book Reviews

In this electronic age the role of books should not be forgotten. Both for education and entertainment the printed book is still key, and very much a complimentary partner to what is available electronically. As part of our remitt to make all aspects of parenting easier and enjoyable, Parents Online will be reviewing a range of products. Books seemed to be the natural starting point for our attentions. If you have suggestions for other review topics, please send an e-mail.

You may like to visit The Book Trust's web site where information on a useful 'Parent Pack' may be found or look at our Letts Early Learning Pages.
