Five mothers who formed a -neighborhood parent-kid book club- in 2008 hold forth on how readers can start their own child-focused reading group in this spot-on guide. Their advice comes in two parts: the first covers getting started, including whom to invite (kids who are already friends will make things easier), how to land on an optimum group size (meetings are livelier with a bigger crowd), setting up a meeting structure (factor in fun time), and procuring books without breaking the bank. The second is a rich resource of book recommendations that includes the 100 books the club has read, with a description of each as well as some additional classifications that cover age group and whether any given title is good for -reluctant readers.- The book-s bright graphic design-sidebar comments from kids and parents dot the pages, as do illustrations and lots of color-is a plus, as is the authors- mindfulness toward diversity and inclusion: -It-s crucial to keep in mind that having people with a variety of viewpoints and experiences in your group will make your book club better.- Parents and teachers looking to foster a bookworm-s spirit need look no further.
