Well, that’s what the Reviews by You(th) section [http://www.kidsmomo.com/categories/kids/reviews_by_youth/] of Kidsmomo is all about! As of January, over 500 reviews have been submitted by kids like you, so… party_adventure-time [http://www.kidsmomo.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/party_adventure-time.gif] In celebration, we decided to launch our very own Kidsmomo radio station* to share a few of our favorite book reviews with the world. *Disclaimer: Not actual radio station; do not turn on your radio.
