When it comes to selecting books for the podcast, I tend towards those books that have lots of details. And this one, as Kate was quick to learn, could go head to head with Where’s Waldo in terms of hidden details. Alas, no clowns this week but we make up for it in other ways. Along the way we manage to identify The Ghost of Christmas Present, Chekov’s plug, and the degree to which this book is like the movie Splash.

Listen to the whole show here on Soundcloud or download it through iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or your preferred method of podcast selection.

Source Books:

– Yeah, we never got to Kate’s old blog, but it really it was one of the greatest things. It was called How To, How Hard, and How Much and on it she would find online How To’s and try to do them herself. There was great stuff on there. Not the gingerbread Tartis, though. No no. Not that.

– The Naked Cowboy wasn’t actually by Adam Rex. That wasn’t even the title. It was The Dirty Cowboy (which he just illustrated) written by Amy Timberlake.

– This is the image Kate’s referring to. Where the legs on the middle lady? I think, after much examination, she’s wearing a skirt. But it’s a bit dark and hard to make that out.

– Can you spot the Carol Burnett lady on this page?

– No idea what these are. Can YOU name them?

– The full cast. In cake form.

– Awkward hedgehog. In retrospect I think this may actually be a lion’s head.

– This is the picture book that contained the kingfisher. Hence my ability to identify it.

-The blog we mentioned was Don’t Read This to My Kids which includes this video review of The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings. For the record, this review is AWESOME!

– Woohoo! I was so pleased I was able to quickly look this up. This was the book I was referring to, telling the tale of Henrietta’s life.
