Kid's Stuff

Story: 3-Stars
************

This is the latest show to be centered around an in-studio appearance by an author - in this case, Chris Grabenstein. Every time this is done, I find it elevates the level of content. Chris has a fascinating, multi-faceted background to share, particularly his investment in improving the reading curricula in our schools. Bonus point to Chris for the SRA mention - he's the first person in 30+ years that I have heard mention this strange approach to reading education!

Kid's lit is a challenging topic to cover due to the many 'levels' present. While the hosts hit at least one title appropriate for each age group, there is a heavy unbalance to middle grade/teen titles. Also, I would have appreciated some coverage of scifi/fantasy titles (chronically under-represented genres).

Performance: 3-Stars
*******************

There is a charming intro/outro that has been added specifically for this episode - a positive technical addition. The Audible hosts are their normal informed selves, and for the second consecutive show we get a male perspective, which is appreciated.

The author's presence on the show is, for the most part, positive. He has a very distinct voice and a great sense of humor,

Episode 20

I thought it was fun that they had kids in this episode. Since I don't have any kids I'm not interested the books they talked about. It was still a fun listen.

1st time listener lots of great info

I made several bookmarks for different books, a couple for me AND many ideas for my kids! TY! :) It was mentioned that listening to stories around campfires, oral stories, used to be a foot in the door for kiddos to enjoy reading, I bookmarked that spot as well. I want to talk to my husband about using our patio firepit, once a week this summer, all 4 of us spend time around the "campfire" listening to an AUDIBLE!!! ♡
I also appreciate the idea of using mad libs or improv. This is going to help my 12yr old who is an aspiring writer! ♡

Love the Show

Love the show! Listen and enjoy, as well as am entertained! I have my Master's in English Lit and loved your Guilty Pleasures show. :-)

Any chance for a show solely dedicated to one of my favorite guilty pleasures-- Sci-Fi and Fantasy? After all, Tolkien was first a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford. Would love you to delve in to truly well-written Sci-Fi and Fantasy.

Thank you for providing a terrific listen!

Ok Free Discussion on Kid Books

This was ok. It is essentially a 45 min free podcast advertisement for a few of Audible's children's literature titles, so you can't really expect much. I never got into the Babysitters Club books--a young woman choosing to run a babysitting business seems limiting and boring--so I didn't really get anything out of that discussion. If you are really into children's literature and have almost an hour to spare to listen to editors/authors/readers discuss some of their favorites, then it could be a fun break.

I 100% recommend the Frog and Toad series by Arnold Lobel. They are PERFECT! I had to mention them since they are deservedly discussed in this podcast episode.

Disclaimer: This review is just for Episode 20. I cannot speak to other Audicted episodes.

Disappointed

Although they were discussing children's books, several of the subjects they were discussing were not appropriate to listen to around young children. I had to stop the recording 1/3 of the way thru to protect my young child. I was very disappointed.
