Episode notes

When I read Henry, when he was really little around Simon's age and I was reading him just like three, two or three books that I would just pick every night. Except for a book called Guess How Much I Love You, which he always hated and never wanted to hear. He would just push it back into the shelf every time I try to get it out. But this one would always be the last one because it's just, you know what, we're going quiet down. It has this nice little posity ... very powerful.

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
