Karen Tyrrells ISO Book Show
I launched Karen Tyrrells ISO Book Show, a child-friendly and entertaining YouTube channel for kids.
I’ve never had so much fun dressing-up, creating props and hamming it up. My inner Year 2 teacher is taking complete control.
What is the Karen Tyrrell Self-Isolation Book Show?
I present children’s books and review in a FUN interactive performance. My goal is to connect children with books so they grow to love them as much as I.
Every Monday and Thursday at 4pm AEST, I present a YouTube show where I review children’s books dressed-up in character with props and comedy to engage and entertain children.
I perform pantomimes & readers theatre in schools and libraries.
Why did you create Karen Tyrrell Self-Isolation Book Show?
To entertain, educate and engage children.
I wish to encourage children to read more and think.
And help kids create an enduring love of books.
Who is the audience?
Children, families, teachers, schools, libraries, bookshops and children’s literacy organizations.
Which authors and books will you review?
I review highly acclaimed picture books, junior fiction and occasional middle grade or YA.
I focus on books from the Romancing the Stars event, short-listers and long-listers from book awards including CBCA, Aurealis, Speech Pathology Book of the Year and other awards/events.
I’m seeking recent Australian children’s books from authors, illustrators and publishers.
How did this idea come to Fruition?
I performed a *LIVE book talk on Song Bird Great Barrier Reef Rescue at Romancing the Stars event in March.
I later videoed this talk and sent it out to children’s literacy groups.
It was popular so I then challenged myself to create book talks for my friend’s books.
