Fuse 8 n’ Kate: David Goes to School by David Shannon

It’s officially the 25th anniversary of No, David! by David Shannon and in celebration I decided to do our second “David” book in the series. Having previously done No, David! before (heard here), I figured that the sequel was the right way to go with today’s episode. Kate, for her part, experiences a curious form of amnesia, capable of remembering our recording of Shannon’s A Bad Case of Stripes, but not the first David book. In that sense she’s the perfect person to read this book, unencumbered by memories of its predecessor.

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

Show Notes:

Lest you did not believe me about the whole No-David-Is-25-Years-Old thing:

Don’t believe that you can stick your arm up David’s nose at The Rabbit Hole, allow Jon Scieszka to show you the way.

Daaang. Them’s some sensible heels. I dunno, man. I’m 45-years-old. That looks too high for me.

“And between those pointy teeth is a black void from which you will never return…”

Kate finds it so disturbing that David laces his shoelaces two different ways. As I say on the podcast, “That’s the devil’s work.”

For those of you playing at home, this appears to be the moment when David Shannon worked in his dog into the art.

Kate and I may disagree about different parts of the book, but we can both agree that this teacher’s bracelet with the floating pearls is inarguably awesome. How do they stay up? Magnets? Who knows!!
