What was the inspiration for The Kids’ Book Club Book?

During speaking engagements for our first book, The Book Club Cookbook, a guide to integrating food and food-related discussion into book club gatherings, we often heard the question, “Why not write a book for kids’ book clubs?” Around the same time, we were seeing an increase in kids’ book clubs in our own town and in our children’s schools, so we decided to investigate. Our research revealed an upward trend in the number of kids’ book clubs springing up around the country. We thought kids’ book clubs would benefit from a comprehensive guide to creating terrific discussion groups using the same research methods we used to create The Book Club Cookbook – surveying and interviewing book clubs across the country, and contacting authors to contribute to our book.  more
