New Fuse 8 n’ Kate Episode: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

I decided to finally crack one of the Top Ten books that showed up in my Top 100 Picture Books Poll in the hopes of luring Kate into a conflict. I think The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is a perfect 10 of a picture book. Does she agree?  All that I can say for certain is that she definitely tries to poison me. If you’ve ever seen what Gerald the Elephant did when he had to try slop in I Really Like Slop by Mo Willems, you’ll know what to expect from this episode.

  • The Hunger of the Caterpillar by Mallory Ortberg on The Toast.
  • In case you’re curious about Master of None, Season Two, here’s a New York Times piece that highlights the best moments.
  • What IS Jeppson’s Malört Liqueur? I still don’t think that I know but this might help.
  • And, of course, this:

    Malört is perfect for washing down lutefisk and/or strömming! 😉
