Episode notes

Sandra Boynton: I haven't read any of these in a while. So it's fun to revisit them and remember the, like, with any of these kids books, you're going to read it 10 trillion times. And there's not that much on the page or in the words to really hang on to your second dozen times through any of them. The lore that you create in your head and talk to your partner about because they also are trapped in this book prison with you. It feels like there's always something new to see even if you've seen it already.

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
