I loved this podcast. You two are so passionate about Humphrey by Carol Heyer, I felt like I could visualize every page the way you described it. I will definitely buy Humphrey based on your recommendation. I’ve seen other books by Carol Heyer and she is an outstanding illustrator and writer.

Drop by Just One More Book! and find out about a thoroughly entertaining and surprisingly original new Christmas book that will have your kids begging to hear the Christmas story again and again. Relayed with the pomp of an indignant camel and replete with starlit sandscapes, stunning, sometimes comical close-ups and loads of understated melodrama, this twist on the Christmas story is as hilarious as it is endearing.. As always, thanks to Matthew Ebel for our music and introduction. [...]
