Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Guess the Book!
This week Kate caught a case of, what we call in our family, the galloping crud. And since the galloping crud does not jive with podcast recording, we’d figured we’d let her rest and recuperate. That means it’s time for my favorite (new) game . . . .
What the Heck Were We Talking About?
The rules are simple. I’m going to produce for you nine different quotes that Kate and I have produced since the beginning of the podcast. Next, I’ll show you the chart of all the picture books we’ve talked about. Let’s see if you can match the right quote to the right book. I warn you, sometimes it’s going to get a little tricky . . .
