An interview can be hard when the book is dull or I have nothing to say. And it can be incredibly easy when you've got a man like Torrey Maldonado chucking answers in your general direction. An honest-to-god middle school teacher, this is a guy who knows from whence he speaks.

Victoria Stapleton, Little, Brown's Executive Director of School & Library Marketing, has appeared on this blog before with a video series called Book Chat. But it's not just Victoria doing the talky talk today. I got to ask Molly Idle a couple questions of my own first about her latest picture book, Coral. Take a gander at what came of it.
Today, I offer you a moment of respite from the world in which we live. Please take time to enjoy a discussion of why nursery rhymes are the ultimate earworms, the power of pie in any narrative, and the inescapable influence of Top Cat on the children's literary field.
