I love when they do roundups of picture books based on themes (Good Books for Bad Children) or holidays (6 Books for Halloween). They also have great guest interviewees like their friend and collaborator illustrator Shawn Harris (First Cat in Space Ate Pizza, The Teeny-Weeny Unicorn, and Let’s Be Bees). They’re so funny,smart, and have such a great friendship dynamic. Can’t recommend enough!”
