Today marks the 250th episode for the podcast! Thank you for your patronage to the podcast. Today, we read the story “A Landslide in the Cut.” This story comes to us from the book “The Steam-Shovel Man” and was written by Ralph D. Paine. This topic suggestion came from John in which he referenced the book “Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel,” a book written by Virginia Lee Burton in 1939. I don't know if he read this book recently or not, as we have a copy at home, but I have fond memories of reading that book when I was a kid so a story about steam shovels I will do.   Where you from...What book(s) are you reading?

The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton - Read by Martyn Kenneth

Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel by Virginia Lee Burton

As our uses to technology continues to grow, sometimes we forget about how it all started. The Little House takes us through time where it was a much simpler time.

Dirty Gourmet is a women-owned outdoor company dedicated to empowering outdoorists to make food a part of their soul-nourishing outdoor experience. The founders of Dirty Gourmet, Mai-Yan Kwan, Emily Nielson, and Aimee Trudeau together after a bike tour across Canada and years of camp life took it upon themselves to rethink the idea of food in the outdoors. Whether you're a car camper getting started with a picky family to feed, or a lightweight backpacker looking for inspiration to get you to your destination, they have plenty of tips and recipes for you on our website and in their cookbook, Dirty Gourmet: Food for your Outdoor Adventures. In this episode we cover: How splitting up your trip types into 3 categories is important to enjoying cooking and eating awesome food in the great outdoors Two must-follow rules for enjoying cooking during your outdoor adventures A super easy homemade granola recipe! Emily Nielson and Dirty Gourmet Online: Dirty Gourmet website: DirtyGourmet.com My favorite recipes on the blog: Raspberry Almond Cacao Oatmeal Fire Roasted Indian Eggplant Goat Milk Gouda Veggie Sandwich Dirty Gourmet on Social Media: Instagram: https://instagram.com/dirtygourmet/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dirtygourmet Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/dirtygourmet/ Dirty Gourmet: Food for your Outdoor Adventures Suggested Resources from Emily: Suggested online resource: Mother Earth News Books: Any work by biologist and naturalist EO Wilson The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton

Ramona's not the only one calling aspects of Mike Mulligan into question anymore. Kate and Betsy already tackled Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House, so now the two cover another story of the fast moving world and how it leads to obsolescence. In this tale of "a man obsessed with his steam shovel," they discuss muffs, dabbing, how precisely a steam shovel would work, and the weird placement of the acknowledgement to Dickie Birkinbush mid-book. As we mentioned, Kate and Betsy made a Randolph Caldecott music video about 10 years ago. That second pair of heels? That's Kate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMIjWQQavcY And here is Kate's Kei$ha video. She's one of the mohawked ladies walking behind the singer lady: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXvmSaE0JXA Kate looked up what a "selectman" is. It is, "a member of the local government board of a New England town." Who knew?

Kaytee is recording with a special guest co-host this week, Anna Hithersay of The Post Party podcast. Anna is a homeschool mom and was a librarian in a former life, so I think you’ll love our deep dive into choosing great books for your kids (and yourself) at the library. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of the us: a bookish tattoo and a raising readers moment. Next, we discuss our current reads. This week has some thriller, some fairy tale, some romance, some middle grade. Basically, we took quite a few left turns. Our deep dive this week is a conversation with Anna about choosing quality books from the library when the selection is so overwhelming. We also talk about “twaddle” and authors that are sure bets. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. A sweeping story of the South and a tiny classic that’s sweet and lovely. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.

Turid Janne Kvaløy i samtale med Tore Aune Fjellstad om billedboka "Det lille huset" skrevet av Virginia Lee Burton i 1942, og oversatt til norsk av Anne-Cath Vestly i 1971. Opplesning gjort med tillatelse fra rettighetshaver, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

John Rocco (@johnroccoart), illustrator of Big Machines: The Story of Virginia Lee Burton, stops by the podcast to talk about the responsibility to create a promise, projecting yourself onto the cover, and how a good book for you is good for a reason.

Things get off to a bang when Kate immediately throws Betsy off by calling the entire Harry Potter series "YA". After that things get weird. Sure, Goodnight Moon is one of the best known, best loved, most-received-at-baby-showers picture book classics of all time, but does it deserve the acclaim? The sisters discuss its sordid controversies, the book's forgotten ghost, and the danger of anatomically correct udders. Show Notes: - Proof of the existence of a pinhole camera saltine cracker. http://www.floridatoday.com/story/tech/science/space/2017/08/17/solar-eclipse-glasses-cracker-slotted-spoon/575694001/ - The two podcasts that gave us shout outs? First up is The Secrets of Story podcast, created by my very own Matt Bird and his partner-in-crime, YA author and 90-Second Newbery's papa, James Kennedy. https://soundcloud.com/matt-bird-35537727 - The other is the Books Between podcast. Hat tip to Corrina Allen for interviewing me recently. There is a really nice fart noise contest at the end of my episode that I highly recommend. http://www.allthewonders.com/podcasts/betsy-bird-books-between-episode-32/ The link to Goodnight Moon on my Top 100 Picture Book Poll. http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2012/06/23/top-100-picture-books-4-goodnight-moon-by-margaret-wise-brown-illustrated-by-clement-moore/ - Answer to The Little House : What book did Virginia Lee Burton create that was ahead of its time? Just prior to writing The Little House, Burton actually attempted to write a book that can only be described as far and away ahead of her time. In the late 30s, early 40s she noticed that her nine-year-old son loved his comic books. The answer? Calico the Wonder Horse; or, The Saga of Stewy Slinker was an honest-to-goodness picture book in a comic-book format. As Minders of Make-Believe puts it, the book was a “gallant though futile gesture.” The Little House was made soon thereafter and got itself a Caldecott Medal in 1943, so there you go. - Here's a link to the Children's Books Made Horrific take on Goodnight Moon (you'll see why we didn't read it aloud). http://the-toast.net/2015/05/14/childrens-stories-made-horrific-goodnight-moon/ - By the way, want to hear some proof that children's books have a weird relationship to cow udders? Check out this story that got cut out of Wild Things: Acts of Mischief in Children's Literature. http://wildthings.blaine.org/?p=486 - Controversy #1: http://www.joshuaprager.com/articles/runaway-money/ - Controversy #2: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/17/books/17moon.html?_r=2 - If you would like to read the Ugly Volvo piece of reader's theater just go to All My Issues with the Goodnight Moon Bedroom. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/04/opinion/04karbo.html?ex=1291352400&en=7a28d82e45f39af8&ei=5088 - Grown-Up Things We Like: Kate's volunteer event was The Creative Chicago Reuse Exchange.

Betsy attempts to present Kate with a Caldecott Award winning classic (shiny GOLD sticker and all)illustrated by a woman and finds the task shockingly difficult. Meanwhile Kate delves deep into an Irish brogue, Betsy entirely misses an image of nudity, and they both agree that if you're going to have a sun, have a sassy one. Show Notes: - Here's the list of all the Caldecott Award winners. http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/caldecottmedal/caldecottwinners/caldecottmedal If you can find a really super famous one on there that was illustrated by a woman, tell us what it is (at FuseKate8@gmail.com).
