Last week Betsy gave Kate a book so chock full of details that one listener said it was the literary equivalent of The House on the Rock. In other words, just STUFFED full of stuff. This week, Betsy went an entirely different direction. She'd been avoiding doing Freight Train by Donald Crews on the podcast for a while. Why? Because it is an exceedingly simple title. Almost pure in its limited elements. And, to be frank, she couldn't figure out what Kate could possibly think to talk about. But as time goes on, it just seemed weirder and weirder to her that the podcast hadn't done any Donald Crews yet. Listen in then as Betsy crows over the importance of books where you can bounce a small child on your knee while making "chugga-chugga" noises while Kate imitates the call of the zebra.
