Fun Kids Book Quest

Fun Kids Book Quest has Bex from the children's radio station Fun Kids sitting down with top children's authors to talk about their latest books and, crucially, read chapters aloud. It is part interview show, part audiobook sampler, and it works really well as a way to get kids excited about reading. The format means children get a taste of a book before committing, which takes the pressure off trips to the library. The author roster is broad, covering fantasy, adventure, mystery, contemporary fiction, and educational titles. Each episode includes Bex chatting with the author about their writing process and inspiration, then a chapter reading that gives listeners a proper flavour of the book. Monthly favourite book recommendations round out the offering. There are 139 episodes in the archive, so there is plenty to browse. The show publishes biweekly and has a 3.5-star rating from 31 reviews. It is also available on DAB digital radio across the UK and through the Fun Kids app. The format is especially good for reluctant readers who might not pick up a book on their own but will happily listen to a story being read aloud. Once they hear a chapter they like, the motivation to find the actual book follows naturally. A premium subscription option removes ads, but the free version gives you the full experience.
