General & Safety
KRKB (Kids Review Kids' Books) is a reading community where young readers can discover books, share reviews, take quizzes, write stories, join clubs, and participate in class or library reading programs.
Yes, KRKB is designed as a safe and respectful online community. We have strict guidelines: no personal information (like real names, addresses, or schools) is allowed. All content is moderated to ensure it is appropriate.
Personal or family KRKB accounts can still be used for free where appropriate. Schools and libraries can also request the paid KRKB School/Library Plan for managed reader seats, setup support, moderation tools, reading challenges, reports, and manual invoice/PO support.
Teachers and librarians can use KRKB Setup to create classes or Reading Programs, add managed reader profiles, print QR access, share book shelves, run challenges, review submitted work, send family instructions, and view reports. Public resources can also be shared for browsing without personal accounts.
Use the Procurement Packet for privacy summaries, AI use, moderation, data deletion, subprocessors, accessibility, invoice/PO instructions, and the downloadable School/Library Plan booklet.
Yes. The Setup + Rollout Materials include teacher, school library, and public library plans plus scripts, family letters, QR posters, rubrics, weekly emails, and report templates.
When a reader is connected, parents and caregivers can use the Parent Portal to see recent activity, account controls, library preferences, and short summaries. Teachers and librarians can also print or email take-home instructions for a class or program, including managed access paths such as QR cards, nicknames, or program links.
Not yet, but we are working on it! For now, our website is fully responsive and works great on phones and tablets.
Yes, we welcome users worldwide! However, currently, the platform is available only in English.
If you see something that breaks our rules, please use the Report button found on reviews and comments, or email us directly at contact@krkb.org.
Account & Profile
Generally, usernames cannot be changed once created to ensure community safety and consistency. If you have a specific reason (e.g., it contains real personal info), please contact support.
To keep everyone safe, all profile pictures are reviewed by our moderation team before they become visible to others. This usually takes 4-24 hours.
For security and auditing purposes, email changes are restricted. Please contact support if you need assistance with this.
You can delete a personal account from the Account Settings page in your profile. Please note this action is permanent and will remove all your reviews and points. For school/library-managed reader profiles, the school or library can contact KRKB about cleanup, deactivation, or deletion tied to its program.
Public KRKB pages may be browsed without a personal account. To post through a personal account, use a nickname and do not share personal information. In school or library programs, a teacher or librarian may provide a managed reader profile, QR card, nickname, or program link instead of asking readers to self-register with personal email accounts.
Yes. KRKB supports Clever Library for teacher-managed SSO and classroom rostering. A teacher connects their Clever account, authorizes a class, and KRKB creates school-managed reader profiles from the roster. Students then sign in with their existing school Clever login — there is no student self-registration, and Clever shares only a student's first name, last initial, and grade with KRKB (never a student email address or password).
Reviews & Moderation
Search for the book using the top search bar. Once you're on the book page, look for the "Write a Review" button. If you've already reviewed it, the button will say "Edit Review".
Your post is waiting for KRKB's safety check before it appears publicly. This usually takes 4 to 24 hours. You do not need to submit it again while it is pending.
Rejections happen to keep our community safe and kind. Content is usually rejected for: containing personal information (schools, names), using inappropriate language, cyberbullying, or writing gibberish/spam. You'll always receive feedback letting you know what type of issue was detected.
Choose “Request Review” on the rejected item and briefly explain what you want KRKB to reconsider. We will take another look and let you know the result. Requesting another review does not guarantee approval, but your explanation helps us understand the context.
Absolutely! Honest opinions help everyone. Just remember to be respectful—criticize the book, not the author or other readers.
A spoiler gives away an important surprise that a reader would normally discover by reading the book—for example, the ending or outcome, a major plot twist, the solution to a mystery, a hidden identity, a betrayal, an unexpected character death or fate, or a crucial late-book event. The book's basic setup, details already shown on its KRKB book page or publisher summary, broad themes or tone, general opinions, characters introduced early, and unanswered teaser questions are usually not spoilers. Context matters, so KRKB may review borderline cases.
A review author or KRKB can add a spoiler label. The review remains published, but its text is hidden until a reader chooses “Show review.” If a signed-in reader thinks an unlabelled review gives away an important surprise, they can open the review's flag menu and choose “Request spoiler check.” KRKB will take another look. A declined request is not a penalty—it means the review was checked against the spoiler guide and did not need a label.
Reviews typically appear within 4 to 6 hours, but a safety check can take up to 24 hours. You do not need to submit the same item again while it is pending.
Currently, you can only review books listed in our catalog. We are constantly updating our library with millions of titles!
Yes! You can leave a star rating without writing text. Your rating will still count towards the book's average.
Features & Library Integration
Go to the Parent Portal and look for the Reading App Integration section. Select your preferred app (Libby, Sora, or Hoopla) as your default reading app. Whenever your child views a book, they'll see a button that searches your specific app instantly!
Yes, because we do not ask for or store your library card information. KRKB only uses the public book title and securely links you directly to your app's public search page. Your library checkout happens entirely within your own library's secure system.
While KRKB focuses on reviews and writing, you can easily read full books by setting up the Digital Library Integration. Go to your Profile or Parent Portal to connect your preferred reading app (Libby, Sora, or Hoopla) and check out e-books from your local library or school!
Curated shelves are book lists a teacher or librarian can build for a unit, display, genre, challenge, or Reading Program. Readers can use them as a focused place to find books.
Reading Programs are join-by-link or join-by-code initiatives for school libraries, public libraries, book clubs, seasonal reading, review crews, and class programs. A program can share public pages for browsing, record display-name participation without creating a personal KRKB account, or use managed reader profiles when saved reader work, moderation, or reports are needed.
Challenges let a teacher or librarian turn reading goals, review tasks, quizzes, story prompts, or event activities into something readers can follow.
Go to the Quizzes tab in the menu. You can browse available quizzes for books you've read. Complete them to earn points and badges!
Yes! Click the "Create Quiz" button on the Quizzes page. You'll need to select a book and write questions and answers. Your quiz will be reviewed before going live.
Visit the Clubs page to see active groups. Some are open to everyone, while others might require a request to join. Clubs are great for discussing specific genres or series.
Yes! Use the Stories feature to write and publish your own short stories. You can even collaborate with friends.
A teacher, librarian, or program organizer may add recognition or pickup notes when that fits their program. KRKB does not ask children, students, library patrons, or program participants to donate, purchase, or provide financial support.
