Homeschoolbookreviewblog is by a minister and homeschooling father. After a bad experience with an inappropriate book, he began previewing the books that the boys read and posting his reviews on an e-mail list. This led to doing children's book reviews for several different magazines and websites, and ultimately to this weblog.
