MORE 'FUSE-8-N-KATE' POSTS
"It's Catch Me If You Can only with an old woman and a weird blue creature." Kate and I discuss the rare cult classic picture book that also won a Caldecott Honor.
How have we never done this one? today on the Fuse 8 n' Kate podcast we tackle the quintessential Harlem picture book (I'd argue) and one of Bryan Collier's best.
How well does this story of a Kindergartner in a power suit hold up? We dive into the book that reads like a best case scenario of Big meets Freaky Friday.
After reading K.T. Horning's info about how today's book was considered a favorite of lesbian families for years, I figured it was time to tackle this Vera B. Williams title once and for all.
Today's title comes to us via The Big Red Book of Beginner Books, and it truly lives up to expectations. I promised Kate we'd do a goofy book. I may have actually overdelivered.
We go a little serious this week with a deep dive into Allen Say's Caldecott Award winner.
We've done a lot of Steig before and yet somehow managed to miss this Caldecott Honor. All that comes to an end! We dive deep into a delightful book that could NOT be published today.
Microaggressions and outright racism vie for space on the pages of the last book Langston Hughes ever worked on: A picture book. Never heard of it? Is there a reason? We take a deep dive in.
A special guest! Today it is my infinite pleasure to present to you the fantastic author/illustrator/cartoonist Ursula Murray Husted. We'll be discussing her recommendation for the show LULU AND THE FLYING BABIES. Hold onto your butts.
This appears to be our first Raschka title, which is funny considering how many Caldecott Honors and Awards he's garnered over the years. Listen in if you want to hear the correct pronunciation of the title of Yo! Yes?, the choices made with the typography, and some truly awful bird calls.
