Episode notes

Sandra Boynton started her own publishing outfit called Boynton Cook Publishers. The company was bought by Heinemann, which is owned mostly by Penguin Random House. Do you know that recycled paper greetings was bought by American greetings? I'm not surprised. Just in 2009, this is a fun, just a fun. What a year for consolidation. She hadn't yet honed her optimistic toes yet.

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
