\n\tThe Frozen actor and self-proclaimed \u201croad trip expert\u201d knows this sentiment well, given he\u2019s always on the go. With summer travel plans made, kids wrangled and bags packed, sometimes the last thing on our minds is curling up with a good book<\/a>. As a dad of two, Gad knows a thing or two about keeping kids entertained on a road trip. With Kindle\u2019s help, his little ones and children all around the world will be able to cultivate a love of reading wherever their travels may take them, thanks to this virtual book club.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tKindle Paperwhite Kids in Starfish\u00a0<\/strong>\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tA kids Kindle with a starfish-themed cover. \t<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI remember probably up until the age of 14, dreading reading,\u201d Gad tells Billboard. \u201cIt was like work and I didn\u2019t want to do it \u2026 and then something clicked, and I fell in love with reading.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tExplore\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tExplore\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n See latest videos, charts and news<\/p>\n \n\tTo start your family\u2019s reading journey, you can sign up now at kindlekidsbackseatbookcrew.com<\/a>.

Who has the space or time to carry six different hardcovers on a road trip? Certainly not Gad. Thus, the beauty of the Kindle. \u201cHaving a device like this, which my wife and I joke, is like screen time we can actually get behind, is amazing. Kids sit in the back seat. When we\u2019re on a road trip, they will either read or listen to their books.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tDon\u2019t have a Kindle?

No matter how fast of a reader your little one is, you\u2019ll never run out of reading material. \u201cThe kids curate their own selections of authors and books and share with each other \u2026 and on average \u2026 kids who are using a Kindle<\/a> will read at least one hour a day that, to me, is like manna from heaven,\u201d Gad says. \u201cIncentivizing kids to read. I\u2019m like, yes, yes, yes, Sign me up.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tThe Song of Achilles by\u00a0Madeline Miller\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tA hardcover book that reimagines Homer\u2019s enduring masterwork,\u00a0The Iliad \t<\/p>\n \n\tI know you\u2019re all dying to know: What does a busy celeb read on his time off on set? The answer might surprise you. \u201cAs of late, books that I\u2019ve read that I\u2019ve loved, James by Percival Everett,\u201d the actor shares. \u201cI\u2019m obsessed with Madeleine Miller, who wrote both The Song of Achilles and Cersei \u2026 Erik Larson remains one of my favorite authors..In the Garden of Beasts or The Splendid and the Vile are great.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tInterestingly, Gad is also reading a lot of books about World War 2 and fascism to prep for his role in the upcoming project that takes place in that period. \u201cNone of these books I would call very entertaining, and none of these books are by choice,\u201d Gad jokes.\u201d As for music he\u2019s currently bumping, Gad says he\u2019s been going through a Kendrick Lamar<\/a> phase: \u201cMy music is really defined right now by my children. So it\u2019s lots of Sabrina (Carpenter), it\u2019s lots of T-Swift, it\u2019s lots of Kendrick, it\u2019s lots of Beyonce \u2026 Charlie XCX. It\u2019s it\u2019s all the usual suspects.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Josh](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1750880289_273_1.jpg\")
