What is a Book Club?
A Book Club is a group of children that meet during scheduled times to listen to a story, complete a related craft project and enjoy a snack. In other words, a book club is an organized play date in which the play is structured around a central theme and book. You can find a book club for your child to join in your area or you can purchase our alphabet book club and start your own! Not only will you be instilling the love of books and reading in children, you can also earn a little extra cash on the side!
