It is that time of the month again when I have a virtual ‘meet up’ with my GatheringReaders participants, a book club for young readers. Our November activity is all about the love for picture books!
Do take note that our next meet up would be on 21 November 2012, Wednesday at the Jurong West Public Library from 5-6 pm. Please do not forget to bring your notebooks, and do bring a copy of your favorite picture book if you can.
For those who may have forgotten, Adeline Foo of The Diary of Amos Lee fame has two shirts for giveaway for anyone who would be writing down their book thoughts on any of her Amos Lee books.
Here are my questions, young ladies and gentlemen. I am looking forward to reading your thoughts:
- Do you still read picture books? Why or why not?
- What is your favorite picture book when you were younger? Do you have a favorite picture book now (a recent discovery, perhaps)?
- Who is your favorite picture book artist/writer?
That’s it, folks. Easy-peasy, right? I look forward to seeing you all in two weeks’ time as we revisit the beauty and power of picture books.

1. I used to read picture books, but that was a long time ago. I now read more of thick, adventure-filled chapter books. I find them more interesting as chapter books go deep into the story and explain everything in detail. Picture books, though, take a lot of space and pages and everything focuses only on the pictures, not the content. Thus, I
prefer chapter books.
2.I used to read some of the Enid Blyton award popular reward books, though not anymore. I find them kiddish.
3. Since I am not too much into picture books, I will tell you all an author whose books I used to read most- Enid Blyon.
