#96: “Honey I Blew Up the Kid” A Junior Novelization by B.B. Hiller and ft. Guest Reader Jeff DePaoli of Dizney Coast To Coast
Those zany Szalinskis are at it again! Back on episode #54, your hosts talked with Jeff DiPaoli about the junior novelization of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and now they are back to discuss the sequel, Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. Junior novelizations are a great way to engage young readers with their favorite films. Released in 1992, the novelization was released by Scholastic 7 months before the film to get readers excited for the sequel. Three years after the success of the shrink ray, Dr. Wayne Szalinski is hired to develop a growth machine. In the process of testing the ray, baby Adam is enlarged to 112 feet tall. So get ready for this larger than life episode and don’t let the baby out of the play pen!

I like it 👍🏼
If pretty good! And there’s a LOT of these type of podcasts that are THE WORST I’VE EVER HERD so congrats!
My Reading List Keeps Growing
Oh my gosh I love this podcast!! I was introduced to this podcast from Poor Unfortunate Podcast’s instagram page and I’m so happy I was because I am hooked!! The intro gets me so excited and makes me want to just pour into a book and watch a ton of Disney movies. The hosts put so much work into their research and I love that I now have so many more books on my list to enjoy! I also love when the hosts have different perspectives because you get to see things through two completely views!

Want Greater Focus on Disney History Books
With so many outstanding books released lately that focus on Disney history, I’d love to hear those authors (Didier Ghez, J.B. Kaufman, and others) featured on future podcasts.
