Episode notes

This is similar to the dinosaur dance formula where the book is presented as a sort of a play that has been correct or worse than is being put on. A lot of many of these animals are just now learning what the fourth wall is as they break it. Just check out all of the emotions on this final page of all the animals quote unquote turning to the reader and asking them what do you say? Yeah. Some of them look a little worried about it. And then some look inquisitive, some look kind of non-plussed. But some of the cats look worried and so it's fun.

To celebrate this year's Children's Book Week, we decided to discuss the work of children's author and illustrator Sandra Boynton, whose board books we both have and which are well known for their fun illustrations and whimsical poetry. Since they're each pretty short we decided to talk about a bunch of them, including:

1. Doggies
2. Dinosaur Dance!
3. Barnyard Dance!
4. Pajama Time!
5. Blue Hat, Green Hat
6. Moo, Baa, La La La!
7. The Going to Bed Book
