On our new YouTube Channel and website–Roving Reader Leaders–Kids lead kids’ book chats–in gyms, bookstores, parks, museums and on playgrounds–anywhere kids can be found!
To share our love of reading and writing with more children, we decided to move our children’s book reviews and our KidLit author interviews (also by kids) to a new YouTube channel and website:Roving Reader Leaders
You’ll still find lots of discussions about dogs and dog books here, on our Bash and Lucy blog.
Learn all about Roving Reader Leaders by watching this video, which features clips from kids’ book reviews by kids–plus a clip from Michael’s interview with Laurie S. Sutton, author of many “You Choose Stories: Scooby Doo” books:
We invite parents, teachers and kids to join our club here: Roving Reader Leaders Club
Club members do book reviews, take part in online, phone and in-person KidLit chats, and can be featured on our website as being reader leaders. What’s more, they earn badges for being book lovers!
Authors are welcome to submit their books for review. While we can’t promise we’ll review on YouTube all the books that are submitted, it’s likely that we’ll do a written review on our blog.
Parents, teachers, librarians and young book lovers, do you have a book you’d like us to discuss? Email us at RovingReaderLeaders@gamil.com!
Our mission is to encourage kids to get actively engaged in reading and discussion in fun ways. One of the most fun things we do is review books in parks, gyms, museums, bookstores and on playgrounds! We’d love for you to do a video book review and submit it to us!
This whole project began with the sudden death of our dog, Lucy. To help keep her alive in our hearts, we started a book series that stars her. Michael, 5 at the time, started doing video reviews of kids’ dog books. We then started reviewing all kinds of kids’ books–which prompted us to launch Roving Reader Leaders.
