Episode 190 - The Napping House

Fuse 8 n' Kate

On today's podcast we thought we might try another Audrey & Don Wood title above and beyond the already commented upon King Bidgood's In the Bathtub. It's a cumulative tale that has continued to remain in print for the last 37 years. We discuss tiny ligers, whether the mouse in this book has Toxoplasma gondii, and the likelihood of a carbon monoxide leak in this particular house. Show Notes: - At the top of the show we mention an exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry. It's called Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes. If you're in the Chicago area in late August, September, or October, buy your tickets now! https://www.msichicago.org/explore/whats-here/exhibits/marvel-universe-of-super-heroes/ - The book mentioned in the course of things is The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren by the Iona and Peter Opie. Sendak was a particular fan. You see, in the 1950s, the Opies collected schoolyard poems, riddles, and chants from some 5,000 children attending 70 schools in different parts of England, Scotland, and Wales. - Kate Recommends: Defunctland on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVo63lbKHjC04KqYhwSZ_Pg - Betsy Recommends: https://www.hbomax.com/series/urn:hbo:series:GYFE2Tg8P-76tMQEAAAAS For the full Show Notes please visit: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2021/07/19/fuse-8-n-kate-the-napping-house-by-audrey-wood-ill-don-wood
