(By the way, Book Club for Kids will be taping more book suggestion interviews at this year’s event on Saturday, April 12th at Exposition Park in Los Angeles.) Kitty Felde is host.
We speak to Israeli writer Ofir Lobel, author of “101 Ways to Lose Your Homework: the Snotty Snail” about the difference between writing in graphic novels and writing a screenplay for a movie. He also talks about writing in a country at war. Kitty Felde is host.
This week, it’s a graphic novel with evil twins, lost homework, and a giant snail. Oh, and a talking frog. The book is “101 Reasons Why I Lost My Homework Again: The Snotty Snail” by Ofir Lobel. Our readers are from Valley Beth Shalom Day School in Encino, California. Sportswriter Keith Thursby is celebrity reader. Kitty Felde is host.
Looking for your next favorite read? We’ve got it, courtesy of kids at the City of Stem/LA Maker Faire.
2025 is a very special year for Book Club for Kids as we celebrate our 10th anniversary! But a different version of the show aired on a local cable channel, LA36, taping episodes at the downtown LA public library. This year, we’ll be sharing those conversations once a month and we start with readers from St. Mark’s Lutheran School in Hacienda Heights, California discussing Gail Carson Levine’s classic take on Cinderella “Ella Enchanted” with host Kitty Felde.
We end the year with a special episode from our other podcast THE FINA MENDOZA MYSTERIES. Fina is the 10-year-old daughter of a congressman who solves mysteries in the U.S. Capitol with the help of a big orange dog named Senator Something. This episode takes place January 6th, 2021 and is designed to help adults talk to kids about the events of that day. It’s based on the book LOSING IS DEMOCRATIC: HOW TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT JANUARY 6TH and contains curriculum for use in the classroom or homeschool.
Everybody wants to go to Paris…especially Nikki Maxwell! Readers from Hollingworth Elementary School discuss the latest entry in Rachel Renée Russell’s series. It’s Dork Diaries: Tales from a Not-So-Posh Paris Adventure. Rachel and daughter Nikki Russell, who illustrates the books, answer questions from the kids. Our celebrity reader is actress/screenwriter Kate Orsini. Kitty Felde is host.
For a writer who both illustrates and creates the story for a book, which comes first? We ask writer/illustrator Alina Chau who created “Marshmallow & Jordan.”
