This was a great program where children got to come in and tell us about a book that they enjoyed. While the questions about the books were not typical of a book club where everyone reads the same book ("If you were to make a commercial for your book, what would it be like? Act it out!"), everyone got to enjoy some silliness while sharing why they chose to share their book.
A few of our participants agreed to let me share what they read on this blog!
