Press Room "Stellar advice on running book clubs is presented in a friendly format...Peppered with savvy snippets of advice, it provides background for anyone wishing to get a club off the ground or to polish an existing one. " “A handy resource for book-hungry kids and their friends." "Any parent, teacher, or librarian thinking about starting a book club for kids or teens, or looking for good ideas to help an ongoing one work better, should find pretty much all they need in Judy Gelman's and Vicki Levy Krupp's The Kids' Book Club Book: Reading Ideas, Recipes, Activities, and Smart Tips for Organizing Terrific Kids' Book Clubs...My favorite part of the book is a list of fifty great books for kids to read and talk about...For each book they include something about the author, a section called 'Book Bites,' with recipes for a snack that fits the theme of book (the ones for Ender's Game come from NASA--"Space Peanut Butter and Jelly Wraps," "Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Sandwiches" and "Orange Space Drink"--think Tang), activities specific to the theme of the book, and a great question to begin the discussion. " "It's full of insights on how to organize all kinds of groups, including those with or without adult/child pairings. The best part, is that is has some great book suggestions at a range of reading levels, and activities to go with some of the books. "You'd like to start a book club for your children, but you're worried it won't be interesting for them. Relax. A new book, The Kids’ Book Club Book by Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp, gives parents ideas on how to choose age appropriate books and how to make reading books fun for children." "Fresh and fun (and tasty)." "For those without an already-established children’s book club, or for reading group leaders who would like some new ideas for books and activities, THE KIDS' BOOK CLUB BOOK by Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp is an excellent guidebook...a valuable guide for anyone who wants to inspire kids to read and develop a lifelong love for literature." "If happy readers are in short supply at your house, maybe what’s needed is a little reading incentive. Combine a group of reading kids with great food and a winning book and you’ve got a book club, but there’s lots more here, too. Reading ideas, recipes, activities and tips are offered in addition to title recommendations for various grade groups. What a great way to keep kids reading during the summer!"
