Fuse 8 n’ Kate #200!: The Cat in the Hat Comes Back by Dr. Seuss

For our 200th episode we consider the controversy surrounding Dr. Seuss and his most famous cat.

Fuse 8 n’ Kate: And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street by Dr. Seuss

When we heard that the Dr. Seuss estate was pulling six relatively obscure Seuss titles from publication due to offensive content, we thought we might try one on for size. So here's the first book Seuss ever made for kids.

Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! by Dr. Seuss

An orange fellow is told to leave over and over and over again. So it clearly has nothing to do with the state of the world today. If you've never listened to one of our podcasts before, I might recommend this as a place to start.

Fuse 8 n’ Kate: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss

April 13, 2020 by Betsy Bird

While many people remember all too well the title of today's book, its plot (such as it is) remains, for many, a mystery. My sister certainly didn't know what to expect and, to be fair, how could she have? Can anyone truly predict Clark or the Ying or Ned? Sweet sweet Ned?

Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss

November 25, 2019 by Betsy Bird

When Kate challenged me to find a classic Thanksgiving book, she made the mistake of saying off-handedly, "Oh, it could just be about food too." Ah HAH! Food, eh? Well, we'd already done Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, so that could leave only one other famous food-related piece of children's literary history. That's right. Time to down some Green Eggs and Ham.

Unexpected Jolts of Children’s Literature: Seusses and Ludwigs and Baums (oh my!)

January 29, 2019 by Betsy Bird

Now that we're done with the award announcement delights of the 2018 season, I'd say it was high time to start thinking about something completely different. And what could be more different than cases where adult books mention children's books and children's book creators in some way? In my travels I ran across the following books. Keep your eyes peeled for them in the coming months!

Video Sunday: I Walk It Like I Talk It With a Wocket in My Pocket

April 15, 2018 by Betsy Bird

Maybe it was School of Rock that started the interest in working with children. Certainly the Goosebumps movie was an indication, and who can forget Jumanji? However you want to look at it, Jack Black at some point in the proceedings became the friendly face of children’s books adapted to the big screen. Considering the […]

Fusenews: The Owl Who Gives No Hoots

October 11, 2017 by Betsy Bird

Good morning to you. While I’m off traipsing about the Illinois Library Association conference in bee-auteous Tinley, IL, why don’t you settle down for an informal smattering of Fusenews.  Good for what ails ya.   ok, let’s talk about Dr. Seuss says Grace Lin.  Ms. Lin faced the full wrath of the masses when she […]

New Fuse 8 n’ Kate Episode: Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss

October 3, 2017 by Betsy Bird

When we recorded this episode I had no idea that Dr. Seuss easy readers would become such a hotbed of controversy, all thanks to the story of the librarian that refused a recent “gift” from Melania Trump. Had we but known, we would have touched on that element as well. Or maybe I should have […]

New Fuse 8 n’ Kate Episode: If I Ran the Zoo by Dr. Seuss

September 26, 2017 by Betsy Bird

As I mentioned yesterday, today’s episode is in honor of Banned Books Week. And let me tell you, it was hard to find an appropriate picture book without covering already well trod ground. In retrospect we should have held off on Heather Has Two Mommies until now and not jumped the gun back in the […]
