    There is Curse words in the podcast even though it’s for kids
    I thought this was supposed to be a book club for kids, and there was a bad word in it I do not like this.

    helps
    I always turn this one when I sleep. It’s so calming and relaxing when I soon drift off. I have trouble going to bed, so while I eat my melitionin and turn this radio on, it has helped me significantly. Thank you

    Love it
    I love this podcast. I can listen to my favorite authors talk about their books and what inspired them to write and what their ideas where in the first place and what they changed from their first idea to the finished product

    Hi
    We never know what the books are about
  • lr + awsome imagination
    Please read the books
    Kind of boring, I would like it if you read the books. Also, I haven’t read the books on the show. Please do books that kids 7 - 10 years old read.

    Request
    I really enjoy this podcast. I just have 1 request. Could u do a episode on the Hunger Games? THX 😊! :D ( ・∇・) ✌︎('ω')✌︎
  • Sqeetrainer
    Super fast book club for kids
    From the first second I heard this it seems ....... uh very ungentel if that is a word but it’s just too fast if you make any other podcasts can you make them easier to follow along and understand what you are saying.😥
  • hollyhon
    Not advanced enough books
    It would be awesome if you could put in books like the Hunger Games, Divergent, etc. At least for me, those are the books I read. I’m 10. I do like your shows. The script is very good and it nice that other kids talk about the book.

    Love this podcast!
    I love this podcast!! The writers on writing episodes help me become a better writer. The books that are featured on this podcast are extremely similar to those that I read. If I’m out of book suggestions, I’ll look on this podcast and read one of the books and after finishing it, I listen to the episode about the podcast. Are you looking for a kid friendly radio drama to listen to? Well look no further! I absolutely recommend listening to the Fina Mendoza Mysteries!! I know that this was SoRt of a long review so thank you so much for reading this. Don’t forget about the fact that you have a voice. When life gives you something special, take it, use it.

    I just finished....
    I mean, it can be calming. But,overall,I think that this is just not my style of calm..
  • bookwormviolinist246
    It's ok...
    I listen to this podcast and it's ok. I don't like the selection of books because even though I'm only 12 I'm a very advanced reader. This podcast has no books I know, and it's really fun to listen to podcasts about books you like. Although the episodes about books I don't know can be fun too, because since I'm a fast reader it's really hard to find a book I'll like. But this podcast spoils the book! I really wish there was a book club podcast for kids, with books on it that are new, but also some classics, such as Little Women and Anne of Green Gables. Maybe I should start a podcast when I'm older! All in all, I do listen to this podcast because it's the best kids book club podcast I can find, but I really don't love it
  • guinea pig 😘😘🥰🥰😍🥰🐼🐼
    I mean yeah?!
    Well I listen to this in bed and it is NOT calm!
  • dogworld
    No😡
    This is terrible, I’m an advanced reader I read a lot. But this gives away spoilers it’s just not a podcast I would listen to.

  • applejack98
    I haven’t started yet
    Even though I haven’t started,I love that you use books the the average child reads.instead of just doing books for more advanced students/classes
  • school lover_😁
    Great podcast
    It would be great if they did the books of elsewhere. But it’s still a great podcast for kids like me and I’m 11.

    A Inspirational Show For Kids To Actively Engage In The Books They Read
    What a spectacular way of engaging kids even further in the books they’re reading. Kitty asks great questions of her young readers, and the celebrity readers are fantastic. As a children’s author, and someone that just really believes in the power of engaged literacy, thank you for this. Author Z.W. Mohr
  • Motini
    Good job!

    This is a great way to Show kids that it is fun to read in the little rewarding when you have other kids reading with you and it’s a good book and you can talk about it when you have nothing to do and it shows the positivity of how kids can read and how far it I’ll take them because reading is awesome Ps I did this on Tuesday it was super fun!!!!!!!
  • Nylushi

  • Madeaux Mohr
    What a fabulous way to extend book discussions beyond bedtime
    We love to listen to these as a family. It gives us great ideas for books we want to read together and extends the books we live into great discussions.

    great for commuting with my middle schooler
    My fifth grade daughter and I wanted to find a podcast that we could both enjoy, and thankfully we just discovered Book Club For Kids. We spend a great deal of time in Silicon Valley traffic and wanted to find something to pass the time. Book Club for Kids is wonderful! Kitty Felde is an excellent moderator of conversation among children about middle grade books. I was pleasantly surprised that she includes interviews with the authors, and also fun, adult guests talking about their own favorite books. Frankly, I find many podcasts that are made for kids a little annoying due to the zany voices and sound effects. But not this one! This intelligent show fully captures my daughter's attention, and also keeps me completely engaged. After our first listen, my daughter re-read a book ("Wonder") that had been discussed on the show. Awesome!
  • AMND2015
    Perfect book club show for kids (and their parents!)
    My daughters and I love this podcast. In each episode, award-winning public radio journalist and playwright Kitty Felde hosts a small group of elementary or middle school kids as they discuss a middle grade book that they've read. There is so much magic here: the kids are always bright and thoughtful; Kitty Felde interviews them without an ounce of condescension. Her direct, engaging style draws real answers from the kids and the discussion often goes far beyond the content of the novels. As they discuss themes, the kids end up revealing personal opinions that offer a glimpse into the inner lives of kids and provide a good jumping-off point for conversation. The celebrity readers have been excellent and the author interviews are wonderful - they really give you a sense of who the author is and why they write for kids. And, not that it's the main thing here, but... Book Club for Kids is the perfect "in the car with kids" podcast. Age-appropriate without being too childish for middle grade readers, the episode length is the exact time that it seems to take us to get anywhere and back back home again. Okay, I admit, that might be specific to our family, but it seems like everything I do with the kids is around 14 minutes away.

    Fresh, Freewheeling Fun!
    Delightful! In each episode, you'll learn what grabs these precocious, young readers' attention and captures their hearts! Not just for kids; children's book writers, librarians & marketers will glean a great deal from Host, Kitty Felde's fresh, insightful & highly engaging interviews of authors & readers alike. You'll also be inspired by the thoughtful, surprising and often hilarious comments the children make. Kitty is the new Art Linkletter of children's literature. Both thumbs up!

    You are so Wall at doing stores
    I'm first grader.
  • Olga from Dream Big Podcast
    Fantastic!
    Before we discovered this podcast, our car rides to and from school were either chaotic or silent. Nowadays, it’s a fun and educational drive! Kitty is a delight to listen to :) We give this podcast our highest recommendation.

    Sharing
    Just found this awesome site! Can't wait to share this podcast with my reluctant readers! I feel they would benefit from hearing students like them talk about reading! Please add more elementary readers! Keep up the great work!
  • Lunarplayzg
    My review
    This show is amazing every reader around the world should listen. This inspires young readers, like myself, to read even more.
  • Connie Can
    Book Club for Kids
    What a terrific resource for parents, grandparents, and educators of all stripes who know that, when kids at an impressionable age get into reading good books, that is a treasure they will carry throughout their lives. Kudos to Kitty Felde and the Book Club for Kids!
