Book club for adults who like kids books?

from Kaleidoscope Kids' Books

We have had some interest in starting a book club for adults who like to read kids books and would like to see if we can gather enough people. Please reply to us at Kaleidoscope if you would be interested in joining such a book club that would meet every month or two, likely on a Friday evening.

Speaking of adults who appreciate great children's books...If you're interested in reading and discussing great children's books and getting the scoop on the talented authors and illustrators behind them, you may be happy to learn of our made-in-Ottawa Children's Book Podcast, Just One More Book ! -- a podcast about the children's books we love and why we love them, recorded in our favourite coffee shop.

Through this podcast and website, we are building a lively, interactive community linking children's book authors, illustrators, readers (parents and children) and publishers.

Busy parents and educators can now discover great read-aloud children's books while they are busy doing the many tasks that would otherwise rob them of the opportunity to research great children's books in more traditional ways.

I hope you will stop by and give us a listen and, perhaps, spread the word.

Description:
"Just One More Book!" is a thrice-weekly podcast which promotes and celebrates literacy and great children's books.

Each weekday morning, we take a few minutes out of our morning coffee ritual to discuss one of our many favourite children's books. We also feature weekly interviews with authors, literacy related discussions or audio reviews submitted by our listeners.

Through this podcast and its website, we are building a lively, interactive community linking children's book authors, illustrators, readers (parents and children) and publishers.

Episodes range in length from 5 to 25 minutes and can be played directly from our web page or downloaded to an ipod for listening on the go. Each episode is an informal discussion of one of our family's favourite children's books. We also feature interviews with authors, literacy related discussions or audio reviews submitted by our listeners.

Busy parents and educators can now discover great read-aloud children's books while they are busy doing the many tasks that would otherwise rob them of the opportunity to research great children's books in more traditional ways.

This podcast is powered by passion. We have no advertisers or sponsors. Our goal is to link children with great books and help create happy memories for children and the adults that read to them…and to have fun!
