Book Club for Kids isn't the only podcast about great books for kids. Give a listen to Matthew Winner's Children's Book Podcast.

After months of rain, Southern California FINALLY had a weekend of sunshine. So we all paid a visit to the LA Maker Faire and City of Stem festival near downtown Los Angeles. We asked kids to tell us all about their favorite books. Some of these might become YOUR favorite book, too!

The Cat in the Hat - Dr. Seuss

The Couch Potato - Jory John

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kinney

The Berenstain Bears - Jan Berenstain

Spy School - Stuart Gibbs

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee

Feeling Sorry for Celia - Jaclyn Moriarty

The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins

The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett

Calvin & Hobbs - Bill Watterson

How does a cover end up on a book? Writer Lisa Fipps is the author of Starfish, a middle grade novel in verse with a gorgeous, memorable cover. Lisa takes us behind the scenes of her experience with working with an editor and a cover designer. Lisa also talks about how her training as a journalist helped her write books for kids.

Also, come join Book Club for Kids at the Los Angeles Maker Faire on Saturday, April 1, 2023. We'll be there taping interviews with kids for upcoming Book Club for Kids podcast episodes. Here's the info:
