Chitti’s Travelling Book Box

May 8, 2023 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

The most rewarding books to read at my book club are books about books. I remember reading The Reading Race, Book Uncle and Me, Bookasura and Koobandhee; it’s likely that there were others too.

Even as I read Chitti’s Travelling Book Box when it came out in February, I knew I would read it with my book club sooner or later. Here’s what we will do as we read!

Reading is Boring!

If your friends think reading is boring, what will you do? What do you think can make reading fun?

We’ll begin by talking about this and sharing ideas, but if we can, I’d love to implement the children’s ideas in class. If there is something the children think will make reading more fun, let’s do it together!

The Monster Game

Inspired by Chitti, we will play a game I love – the monster game! Together, we will create a monster and then maybe draw it and give it a name. 

Book Scavenger Hunt

We love book scavenger hunts at my book club. Running around and hunting through our books is always fun. In a book about books, how can we not do this activity we love?

Here are two book scavenger hunts we’ve done in the past. I’m all set for another!
