The Ele-Phone Book Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

Scott Gibala Broxholm is on the #ReadingWithYourKids #Podcast to celebrate his delightful new #Children'sBook The Ele-Phone Book. Scott tells us this book was in some ways inspired by the old "telephone" game. In the book Mouse calls her friend Elephant to see if he can play. But he doesn't feel at all well. He may EVEN have . . . the dreaded ZOO FLU! So Mouse calls their friend Giraffe to tell her about Elephant. Giraffe calls another friend who calls another. But something is wrong with the phones and it's hard to hear what is said. So what each of his friends hears about him just gets wackier and wackier . . . and maybe . . . just maybe, it isn't the ZOO FLU after all! Scott and Jedlie have a great conversation about the book, about helping kids become more discerning about the information the are exposed to and how wondeerful kids can be.
