I had the honour of meeting Krish at my book launch in September 2023. It is no secret that I love books and my first book, ‘There’s More to Books than Reading’ really shines through in Krish’s podcast. He shares what other children learn from kids books and his reviews. I interviewed him on how it started.
How did Kids Book Review Podcast start?
I love Lego and enjoy building my own designs. When I was seven, I really wanted to make a YouTube channel to showcase my Lego creations. My father was hesitant to the idea about the exposure on social media, then I suggested reviewing books on a podcast show, and he loved it. He’s happy that I read so many books, and I get to share my love for them with the whole wide world – win win!
What do other children learn from Kids Book Review Podcast?
Kids can learn about a variety of captivating books and stories from across the world. Apart from sharing my enthusiasm for my favourite reads, I also bring in authors for interviews to talk about their inspiration and creative process behind the featured books on the podcast. I also include kids from all around the globe to review the books with me. It’s like having a global book club, where we discuss our favourite parts, favourite characters, and what we’ve learned from each story.
What is your favourite thing about reading?
It is the incredible feeling of experiencing a whole new world every time I read a book. I get to be part of amazing adventures with the characters – like being a superhero, a detective, a bird watcher, a spy, a knight, or even a wizard! It’s so much fun because I can become whatever I want, and the possibilities are endless.
What is your favourite book and why?
Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite book. The magical world and the adventures that friends Harry, Ron and Hermione go on this book is just exciting! There were lot of surprises and unexpected twists, I couldn’t put the book down and finished it in one go.
Who is your favourite author and why?
I’ve read lots of books, and there are many authors I love. Roald Dahl is my absolute favourite because his books are what got me into reading in the first place!
If you could interview any author, who would it be and what question would you ask?
Roald Dahl! I’d ask him how he came up with all those amazing characters in his stories.

More to Books 
This really touched my heart. As a mom, I’ve definitely fallen into the comparison trap, especially when I see other kids excelling in ways mine aren’t yet. Reading this reminded me to slow down and just enjoy who my child is. We spent the weekend picking out winter kids clothes together, and it turned into such a sweet bonding moment. Thank you for this gentle reminder to focus on connection over comparison.
