Ken Priebe is an animator, illustrator, and author whose new book is a mystery in which a Goblin king is killed and readers get to figure out whodunit. It's a super fun book with a great interactive puzzle and you should read it. But first, check out our conversation with Ken! We talked about snacks and Canada and illustrating and, well, goblins (of course), and a bunch of other miscellaneous topics. Plus: As usual, this episode includes snack time, riddle time, book talk, and another edition of Lazy Words!

Thanks for listening!

Daniel Nayeri is the author of Everything Sad is Untrue, which is great and all (and it is great), but he also worked as a chocolatier once upon a time, which means he made chocolate, which also means he fits in perfectly on Withywindle. We do like our snacks and we learned so much about chocolate on this episode! And all kinds of other stuff, too. Plus, as usual we told jokes, talked about lazy words, discussed The Phantom Tollbooth, and shared another riddle. So pull up a chair or plop into a beanbag or settle into your spot in your car (or whatever) and hit that play button and get ready for a good time on this week's episode of Withywindle!
