Fuse 8 n’ Kate: What Was I Scared Of? by Dr. Seuss
In our latest consideration for Halloween, Kate and I discuss the difficulty of saying the term "anapestic tetrameter" aloud, why the true star of this book should be named "Torselus Todd", and (I won't lie) we may use the term "badonkadonk" more than once.
Fuse 8 n’ Kate: I Had Trouble Getting to Solla Sollew
My husband Matt Bird joins us for the very first time for one of the most obscure Dr. Seuss titles ever conceived. Like Candide? Then this is for you.
Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Gerald McBoing Boing by Dr. Seuss
It's considered a classic by animation fans, but does the book hold up? We explain why this translation from film to page missed quite a few steps along the way.

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
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.
