MORE 'FUSE-8-N-KATE' POSTS
"There are fish literally everywhere in this book!" Ed Young passed away in 2023, so today we honor him with one of his best loved (and oldest!) books.
Today's 1972 release came out long ago but has aged remarkably well in the interim. If you're looking for a first-time-sleepover title, this one still fits the bill.
"Find your favorite parts. They're the ones that make you scream." We celebrate our 300th episode with special guest star Jon Scieszka. What better way to celebrate?
As track records go, I don't want to brag but the Fuse 8 n' Kate podcast does a particularly good job each and every year of selecting potential Caldecott winners. This year we consider a new three.
Citizen scientist or man who mucks with the scientific record? Only you can judge when you listen to our latest episode on the Caldecott Award winning title Snowflake Bentley.
We've had Barbara Cooney on the brain, so why not discuss her Christmas picture book (still in print!) circa 1988?
Today we step back in time to 1998 to a Hanukkah tale of tiny people battling great big kitty cats.
"Weird with heart!" Kate warms up to the 30th anniversary edition release of a little cult classic, entirely befitting of the name. Prepare your heartstrings to be tugged.
Today we compare and contrast a 1947 version with a 2003 version of the same story. We discuss how war in a region might easily make folks afraid of strangers, how soldiers attack their problem vs. monks, whether or not this is a technical trickster tale, and how that person who just gave salt got away with murder.
Thanks to the New York Review of Books we're tackling one of their recent reprints. An 80s title about interior design where the artist was CLEARLY having fun!
