Kate set Betsy up with a challenge. They've been deeming too many books as "classics". What book could I produce that would engender more of a debate? Well, after all these episodes (82!) Betsy thinks she's figured out Kate's least loved genre. It involves childlike art. It involves kids who aren't entirely saintly. Really, it was just a matter of time before they got to this one. They've not done a David Shannon book before. Ultimately they determine that the fault at work here is not that of David, but the inattentive parents.

Happily, Kate has provided the "Partysaurus Rex" video link. It is a delight: https://vimeo.com/51194871

And the Etch a Sketch is from 1960, if that helps date the kid in the book.

Yes, Betsy. It was Hiawatha and the Peacemaker.
