The E.B. White Read Aloud Award winner is publishing his first interactive book called HEY, BRUCE!, adding to the fun of his best-selling the curmudgeonly Mother Bruce series of books for young readers .“One convenient thing about writing stories about a grump is that I can get away with more bad things happening to him before the audience stops laughing and starts feeling sympathy for him,” Higgins told PW. “That's essentially what the Bruce books are,” Higgins said, “me having ridiculous conversations with myself and seeing what happens.”

Can you believe it's time to start thinking about sending the kids Back-to-School! We've all had our summer fun in this crazy summer heat, but now it's back to business! Back to School Tips: -Check with your school's PTA/ PTO to see if you can order school supplies directly from your school instead of doing all the shopping yourself. -Get a quick haircut the week before, make a special breakfast on the 1st day and a fun afterschool snack to make the new school year extra special! -School can be tough and wearing on a kiddo, so daily affirmations, ESPECIALLY on the 1st day can help. -A quick chat about cell phones at school has been important to Ashley. Times are different than when we went to school, and some kids like making TikTok videos at school, so chatting about phones, safety, etc may be necessary. -Don't miss the Just Between Friends consignment sales all over Houston this fall to grab great deals on clothes for the kids! -The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn, We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins, Strictly No Elephants by Lisa Mantchev, The Day you Begin by Jacqueline Woodson, and Llama Llama Misses Mama are great books to read before the 1st day of school and ease anxieties. -The Busy Toddler is an awesome Instagram resource for preparing your young kids for Kindergarten and what they REALLY need to know before the 1st day. Cream & Sugar Recommendations: Treats of Mexico... go! NOW! It's in Eado off of Telephone Rd. Try all kinds of Mexican treats, snacks and desserts. It's super popular and is always busy, so it MUST be good. Check out the show, Loot, on Apple TV. It's loosely based on the wife of Jeff Bezos. It's funny and quirky as it explores thew life of a woman who has incredible wealth while she works with those who have significantly less. Houston Moms House Blend Posts: Indoor Play Spots for Houston Kids by Shrav C. has been a great resource for play areas to visit while the outside temperatures continue to be insanely offensive! Letting Go: Sending a Child to Summer Camp for the First Time by Emily Feinstein is a great read to help you mentally prepare for sending your kids to camp, daycare, school, wherever.

We review the book "Norman Didn't Do It!" by Ryan T. Higgins.Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Fullbird)
Ryan T. Higgins was born in 1983. Like many children of the 80s, he lived on a diet of cartoons, cheese sandwiches, and climbing trees. Until he was four years old, Ryan wanted to grow up to be a tiger. When that didn't work out, he decided to become a cartoonist. He's been making his own cartoons ever since and hasn't grown up yet (and we're thankful for that!) His two new picture books will delight with his signature wit and whimsy. NORMAN DIDN'T DO IT! is a story about the friendship between a porcupine and a tree. Norman is a porcupine. Mildred is a tree. Norman and Mildred are best friends. Just the two of them. And only the two of them. But when a surprise pops up, life will never be the same again. Higgins' humorous approach brilliantly explores the depths and complexities of friendship. THANKS FOR NOTHING is the latest in the best-selling Mother Bruce series. The air is crisp and the leaves are changing colors. It's autumn in Soggy Hollow and everyone is thankful. Except for Bruce.

This is a book hook for Bruce’s Big Move by Ryan T. Higgins.
Meredith and Kaytee have a special guest again this week to discuss our favorite picture books for the 2-5 year kiddos in your life! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each host: an author event, kid librarians, and a fantastic iTunes review. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We are each talking about two recent reads and we’ve got a variety of new titles that we cannot wait to discuss this week. For our deep dive, we are discussing our very favorite picture books for the 2-5 year old range. These kids are enraptured by great pictures, willing to sit for a great story, and ready to laugh at great jokes, so we’ve chosen some stand-out titles to share with you or the littles in your life. Abbey has a lot of great expertise in this area, so we are only too happy to have her input. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. We’ve got a childhood favorite, which may not be for kids, that has been read over and over again, a WWII novel told in a totally new way, and a reference book that belongs on every parent’s shelves.

Last year Kate and Betsy discussed three potential Caldecott winners, and two would later receive medals. This year, the two discuss Dreamers by Yuyi Morales, Blue by Laura Vaccaro Seeger, and We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins. And, as per usual, Kate brings up stuff Betsy never considered before. Questions like, how exactly does Penelope Rex eat her classmates so quickly (does she unhinge her jaw?). What does "caminantes" mean? And does the guy in Blue rename his girlfriend's dog? Kate has a violent reaction to one of the three books that Betsy finds deeply amusing. Then they out that Frances, from Bread and Jam for Frances, was originally supposed to be a vole, and Betsy's mind. Is. Blown. Show Notes: - Actually Pete Seeger is Laura Vaccaro Seeger's husband's uncle, not her own. Uncle-in-law, let's say. - Here is the PW interview Yuyi Morales and Neal Porter that gave a lot of great background information to Dreamers: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-authors/article/77766-in-conversation-yuyi-morales-and-neal-porter.html - Here is the Horn Book interview with Laura Vaccaro Seeger that discussed Blue: https://www.hbook.com/2018/12/publishers-preview-picture-books-five-questions-laura-vaccaro-seeger/ - And here is the PW interview with Ryan T. Higgins about We Don't Eat Our Classmates: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-authors/article/77167-q-a-with-ryan-t-higgins.html - Kate was completely right, by the way. The Triceratops and T.rex were contemporaries. Here's the article I was thinking of when I said the T.rex was farther from the Stegosaurus than we are from the T.rex: https://gizmodo.com/less-time-separates-us-from-t-rex-than-t-rex-from-stego-1614025559 - You can find the link to the Frances / Debbi Michiko Florence, Jasmine Toguchi series here, as spotted by Emily Schneider: https://imaginaryelevators.blog/2019/01/06/jasmine-toguchi-what-was-a-talent-anyway/ - Glynis Johns read all the Frances books?!? This is huge news! - And here is Kate's board game. Sadly, less one Madame Mim: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/256382/villainous - Be sure to stay for Kate's um-num-num-num-num. - Find the full Show Notes here: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2019/01/14/fuse-8-n-kate-2019-caldecott-contenders

Author/illustrator Ryan T. Higgins goes behind the scenes of his picture book BE QUIET
Ryan T. Higgins (@RyanT_Higgins), author illustrator most recently of Be Quiet!, stops by the podcast to talk about a grumpy bear, some gosling offspring, and a mouse who just wants some peace and quiet in order to share his wordless picture book.
Ryan T. Higgins, is my hero! Ok, that might be a little over the top, but I love his book MOTHER BRUCE and I love the path his career is taking. This is a recommended – best of Picturebooking episode
