Betsy and Kate welcome in the holiday season with a bit of copious consumption.

Show Notes:

- This episode was brought to you by . . . Viola Davis. http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/books/ct-viola-davis-corduroy-children-s-story-20171010-story.html

- I am so right. There is no comic duo like Strega Nona and Anthony. NO ONE!

- I am very interested in your evidence as to whether or not Corduroy really does have agency, or if this is just in the girl's head.

- The two sequels to Corduroy are Don Freeman created a sequel, A Pocket for Corduroy, in 1978. In 2006, B. G. Hennessy created Corduroy Lost and Found as a sequel. And I don't mention it but there were lots of unofficial Corduroy sequels, but I didn't feel they were worth mentioning.

- #22 on the picture book poll was Corduroy! http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2012/06/11/top-100-picture-books-22-corduroy-by-donald-freeman/
