Episode notes

Each week on the pod one or many of us read a book. And then we talk about it and then the listeners get to hear about it. We broke that rule by reading Ramona Quimby, age eight by Beverly Cleary. Catherine: "Ramona is really bang in the center of like my whole life"

We've talked about National Treasure Beverly Cleary on the show before, but we haven't spent time with her most indelible character, one Ramona Quimby. Recorded on the eve of Craig's new-dadhood, we're joined by TV critic and parenting expert Kathryn VanArendonk to discuss yard apes, sick days, and how differently the book hits from the other side of the parent/kid divide.
