How's this for brilliant: In Ireland, they have book doctors who can prescribe just the right book for every young reader. Check it out:
Throughout the year Children's Books Ireland (CBI) brings the Book Clinic around the country, working with many different partners. Parents and children are invited to drop in for an informal consultation with one of Children’s Books Ireland’s friendly panel of Book Doctors, who are ready to offer the best advice for the young readers in your family. The visit begins with a few moments in the waiting room where families can enjoy colouring and activity sheets as well as enjoy a selection of children's books. When the Book Doctor is ready to see a patient, the consultation begins with some questions about books the young reader previously enjoyed as well as activities, movies, tv shows and video games they enjoy. This lets the Book Doctor know a little bit more about the patient so she can write a book prescription, which is a personalisted list of books recommended for the individual patient. The patient and their family can then take this book prescription to their local library or bookshop to have it filled.
