Chimes Bookshelf - Book Club for Kids

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten”     – Neil Gaiman

Books are considered to be one of the most loyal friends and a great educator too. Books of all shapes and sizes are a powerful medium when it comes to children as they help them to understand the world around them, teach them important moral lessons, and fill them with optimism. Reading storybooks help children to have a vivid imagination, understanding of words, develop social skills, and stimulate curiosity. Reading and listening to books plays an important role in the all-round development of a child.

In this podcast, "Chimes Bookshelf", we pick up a book from our library and review it for your little readers. The selected books are often the greatest books ever written for children and are hugely popular amongst readers of all age groups. So join us on this exciting journey of literary discovery and in the process, develop the habit of reading in your kids by offering them the best content to read.
