I came across this podcast, JustOneMoreBook.com and think it’s fantastic… I started to listen to it and had such a giggle at the kids in the intro saying “I’m serious… just one more book!”

In each podcast, Andrea & Mark chat about a particular children’s book and the quality of the writing, the illustrations, the underlaying message of the story to the kids… and generally what they like about the book! It’s recorded in a coffeeshop, so with all the bubbling & steam noises & other coffee shop clientelle chatting in the background, it gives you the distinct feeling that you’re listening in on someone else’s conversation!  The podcasts is posted thrice-weekly, ranging from 5-35 minutes in length. In some of the podcasts, authors & illustrators are interviewed.

“If we didn’t know chocolate was delicious we’d never crave for it — so it is with books. Beautiful, intrinsically rewarding books create a need by satisfying a need. Beautiful books feel smooth, smell nice, look enticing and present their readers with real rewards for the effort of reading them.” – Mem Fox
