A wonderful segment! In this era of i-everything (and don’t get me wrong, I love all the i-products!), it’s so refreshing to hear someone talking enthusiastically about children’s books!
I agree with Maria and Katie ~ Books can do things, even hop through dimensional barriers, that electronic devices can only simulate (and without chargers and batteries, too). Thanks for a great gift-suggestion segment that reminds us that there’s still nothing quite like a good book!
What a great segment timed right before the holidays! The pop-up book seemed delightful, the title reminded me of the song “knick knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone, this old man comes rolling home”. The three $7 books for young children would make a great gift. Looking forward to more segments such as this.
Thanks, and WOW, good to know! If I can remember when I go on next, I’ll try to say that! I’m excited about my next appearance because it’ll be all about great ways to give unusual book gifts but not books…MYSTERIOUS, aren’t I?!

Thank you so much! Very nice to read this – and I agree, I LOVE my i-everything but you can’t beat a great book.

Yes, that is exactly what the book is! Duh me, I never said that on the show and only just realized!

Thanks for such a good segment. Loved the pop-up. And Wheels on the Bus DOES stand up to two-year-old eagerness.
