Send in Your Brer Rabbit Reviews, Children!
Kottke.org, one of my favorite blogs, recently featured The Spaghetti Book Club, a website devoted to “Book Reviews By Kids For Kids.” As you may have guessed, the reviews are hilarious and awesome.
For example, one of my favorite books when I was little (I’m very tall now) was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Check out the review! You’re right, J.D. Age 7, it is funny to see food falling from the sky!
The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food was also a favorite (apparently I only liked books about food) and boy, does Kevin S. capture the magic! Pants ripping does a favorite character make, I tell you what.
The only problem with this goldmine? No Brer Rabbit stories! As the Spaghetti reviewers would say, what the heck?!
Dear reader, let’s change this — together.
The Wren’s Nest is looking for reviews of Brer Rabbit stories and books from children ages 9 and under.
For their trouble, we’ll send them a Wren’s Nest t-shirt AND feature their review on our website. In short, we will make them both stylish and famous. Pretty good, right?
You can send reviews via email to me at amelia@wrensnestonline.com, or just mail the whole shebang all old-fashioned-like to the Nest. Pictures not only appreciated but cherished forever and always.

What kind of website doesn’t have a review of The Wartville Wizard?
JEL, I couldn’t agree more. This may be their only shortcoming.
I am not lying when I say that that is the very first book review I sought out to link to. Le sigh.
Amendment: We’re seeking out Brer Rabbit reviews, though reviews of The Wartville Wizard are also encouraged.
For some reason the title of this post always makes Chef from South Park pop into my head.
I can definitely see that, Joe, though the wording also makes it seem like we want you to send in your children (as well as Brer Rabbit reviews).
Just to make things clear — we do not want your children. They probably have jam hands, and we don’t have the resources to clean up after them.
Bring ‘em for storytelling and a tour and a picnic, sure. But otherwise we’ll keep our distance, thankyouverymuch.
