BookBites can be exchanged for rewards from participating local restaurants, cafés, bakeries, bookshops, museums and community venues. READ, FINISH, EARN Add a book by scanning its ISBN, searching for it or entering it manually. Children can see the books they are reading and let their grown-up know when they have finished.
