Book Reviews brings together in one place the best children's and young adults' book reviews published in several countries. Thank you to all the magazines and websites for sharing with us their great content!

PaperTigers reviews are written by us and have an International scope, to keep you up to date with what is being published around the rim. And in addition to offering our own reviews, we also reprint reviews from the following trusted sources:

From the USA, reviews by the Cooperative Children's Book Center, a key resource for anyone interested in children's books published in the USA, and Desi Journal, a website dedicated to literature from and about the South Asian diaspora.

From Canada, reviews from Resource Links, a national journal dedicated to reviewing and evaluating Canadian learning resources;

From China, reviews from the Asian Review of Books, published in Hong Kong by Paddyfield.com and Chamaleon Press;

From the UK, reviews from BooksForKeeps, the most authoritative children's book magazine in the country, and Book Trusted News, the magazine of the Young Book Trust (no longer being published).

So look no further. We have them all in here!
