William and I love, love, love this book. I first heard about it on NPR. You really must listen to Daniel Pinkwater and Scott Simon read it together! William and I still listen to this and follow along with the book.

They also did a wonderful review of of Sara Swan Miller’s book Three Stories You Can Read to Your Dog.

Hope you are both well. I’m still enjoying every podcast!
Tricia,
Thanks for stopping in and for taking time to give us the scoop on NPR versions of these books.
I can only imagine how hilarious that reading would be. We will definitely listen as a family this weekend.
Have a great weekend,
Andrea
