A very quick read—only 206 pages. The authors run a parent-child book club at their local library. This is a beginner‘s guide to doing the same. They go through character, setting, plot, etc. using examples from famous children‘s books that they‘ve used in their club. I was surprised how few of the books referenced I had actually read. I do think the subtitle doesn‘t describe what the book is about. Overall, very interesting and a good reference.
