WHO WE ARE
Arlene Rossen Cardozo, PhD
Editor and Publisher

The Read Aloud Review is an independent, children's book review specializing in reviewing those children's books we consider to be excellent readalouds. We have outstanding teachers, librarians and parent advisors, great staff and technical support, yet as with all publications one person is ultimately responsible and I'm that person.

Reading aloud, book reviewing, and working with parents and children has long been part of my professional repertoire. Since 1992 I've produced and narrated Once Upon A Time, the children's book program on the Minnesota Radio Talking Book Network, a closed circuit network for the blind and learning disabled beamed to some 30 states. In that capacity I choose more than 350 books a year and read each one aloud on the weekly hour-long program. I'm the author of four adult non-fiction books on women, children and family life, as well as scores of articles and essays on those subjects.

A charter member of the National Book Critics Circle, I have reviewed books nationally for more than three decades. Children's literature is a scholarly pursuit. As an enrichment consultant in the Minneapolis Public Schools I gave children's literature classes teaching students to employ the John Berryman method of critical thinking as a means of analyzing what we read.

Thus by the time I originated The Read Aloud Review in 1992 I'd acquired a unique background for doing so. From its inception the Review reached thousands of families as the friends of the Minnesota Public Libraries became its long-term sponsor. It was distributed to 1100 Minnesota Public Libraries with copies made available to all their patrons.

It's exciting to now bring The Read Aloud Review on-line to you -- an ever wider audience -- and to share with all of you who read aloud to children my love, experience and knowledge of doing so.
