Dad's on Books- EPISODE 4

David And Mike take on the book, Big Words for Little People, by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell. Listen as David tells us why he didn't like the book, and then changes his mind as he continues reading it. Mike was confused, so he hadn't reread it, but he remembers a lot of it, because he read it so many times. Thanks to Mike's brother Byl, for giving this stupendous and superb book to us originally. We didn't mean for it to run this long, there were just so many Big Words to talk about!

Happy Listening!

Dads on Books returns for episode 3!

In this episode hosts David Patrick and Mike Walker discuss the children's book Mrs. McTats and Her Houseful of Cats by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and illustrated by Joan Rankin. They discuss Mrs. McTats and the story follows how she acquires her numerous cats, and how it is a "teaching"" book. Mike shares his Mrs. McTats voice and they talk about the artwork in the book. We go on finding fun details, especially the chickens and crazy house decor. They both highly recommend the book, especially for those who enjoy doing silly voices. They conclude that the book is great for learning the alphabet, basic math, and more!

In then next episode, they will be discussing Big Words for Little People by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell.

Welcome to Episode 2! We are discussing the book, "Olivia Helps with Christmas."

Why this book? Well, David selected "Olivia Helps with Christmas" due to its personal history, noting that Mike and wife, Kim, introduced his family to the Olivia series early in his eldest daughter's reading journey. It has become a cherished favorite of his family, consistently eliciting enjoyment even after many readings and establishing itself as a highlight among their collection of children's books. We talk about the Olivia's desire to Christmas be all it can be and how Mr. Falconer deals with the comedic timing in the pages. And again, we get into the style of the artwork and the humor found in skiing Gstaad.

Next up: Mike picks the next book to discuss: "Mrs. McTats and Her House Full of Cats" by Alyssa Satin Cappucilli, Illustrated by Joan Rankin.
