A First on The Yarn Podcast: Fuse 8 n’ Kate
The Fuse 8 n’ Kate podcast hosted by SLJs own Betsy Bird and sister Kate just hit a big milestone: 400 episodes. To celebrate the occasion, they invited Colby Sharp and I on to debate one of the most unusual Caldecott Medal winning books of all time: The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
Is it a classic? Is it a picture book? We debate these questions, among many others.
