Two sisters, one in L.A. and one in NYC, both move to the Chicago area and start a podcast. The premise? Picture books and are they really that great? Join Kate and Fuse 8 (Betsy Bird) as they track down a picture book "classic" each episode and try to determine if it deserves to remain in the canon of children's literature.

    Episode 429 - Nightmares- Poems to Trouble Your Sleep
    2026/10/19
    One does not usually associate the creator of the Frog & Toad Are Friends series with poetry that discusses creatures that squeeze out their victims' lungs, but turns out Arnold Lobel had a bit of a dark side. And when aided by Jack Prelutsky's uniquely horrifying poems, you get the kind of magic that is ideal for those kids desperate for a little horror in their lives. Released a full two years before the world would meet the far more famous Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, one could make the argument that this 1979 publication walked so that Stephen Gammell could run. Yet despite all of that, how do Prelutsky's words stand up today? And did Lobel really dedicate himself to the endeavor or did he phone it in? Gotta listen to the show to find out.

    Betsy literally went out and decided to purchase this lesser known Martin/Carle collaboration. We all know Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle created such modern day classics as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? But did you even know that this dynamic duo also created their own spooky picture book tale all the way back in 1970? Please be so good as to meet one of the strangest little Halloween-adjacent titles with two of America’s most famous picture book creators at the helm. So why the heck does nobody know anything about this? Let’s just say that when Kate says the words, “Look… I’m not an English teacher…” things are gonna get real real interesting.

    Episode 427 - Cold Feet

    While not explicitly a Halloween title, when Betsy saw that editor Taylor Norman had talked up this little oddity the other day, she was a mite bit intrigued. And then we got to the whole foot removal section and BLAM! Sold! Betsy knew she had to show this to Kate. Now don't get thrown by the snow on the ground of this tale because many is the sad Halloween we've experienced in the Midwest where trick or treaters had to deal with walking through drifts. This story reminds us quite a bit of our previous Halloween-adjacent story The Tailypo, to say nothing of The Bremen Town Musicians.
