Children's books read aloud, plain and simple, by Nona (it's Italian for grandma). Occasionally my sweet side-kick pipes up, adding a drop of perfection to the readings.

    Episode 69: The Snowy Nap

    This precious book was written by one of our favorite authors--and illustrators--in the business, Jan Brett. If you haven't seen her work, it is worth a trip to the library, my friends. Hedgehog has heard all about Winter and all that happens then, but never has experienced it until THIS year....

    Episode 65: Snuggle Piggy and the Magic Blanket

    How is it possible that they are ALL favorites??? We have loved this book from the first reading decades ago. Snuggle Piggy and his blanket run into some trouble but soon figure their way out of it with no one the worse for having been soaked! Please enjoy--and the illustrations, should you see it in print, bring Noah and his ark to mind, just saying. =}

    Episode 64: Small Pig by Arnold Lobel

    An all-time fave here, folks! Small pig just wants to be comfy, and when the busy farmer's wife disturbs his peace, craziness ensues! This is, by the way, quite an old book being written in 1969.
