Book Clubs for Kids
Several book clubs for kids exist, and almost all book clubs for kids allow enrollment on the Internet. While most book clubs for kids require a subscription or membership that entails further purchases or other commitment opportunities, the Kids' Reading List does not. (See References 1) There are also book clubs for kids that offer theme-related material such as the Dr. Seuss & His Friends Book Club. (See References 5) Below, find information on four book clubs for kids.
