We're very excited to announce that on 11/01/11 we were chosen as one of three #WOW winners in Jacqueline Gold's (CEO of Ann Summers and Knickerbox) weekly business competition for female entrepreneurs. Here is what she had to say about Hummingbird Books. "Reading is such an important skill so this is great. I love that you listen to the children about what books they like."
 

Children who read tend to learn more vocabulary, write better stories and may even spend less time playing electronic games than those who don't!

The books on our site are all chosen by children. These are the books that children tell us are the best ones-books that they actually want to read. We have hundreds of recommendations for 6-8 year olds, 9-11 year olds as well as books that are suitable for children aged 11+.

We give you an idea of the age a book is suitable for, but we do rely on parents to make the final decision about whether a book is suitable for their particular child.

We also have special sections of books suitable for  struggling readers (books with a lower reading age), advanced readers(books witha higher reading age) and books for reluctant readers who just don't like reading.
