Reading the End Bookcast, Ep.31: The Children’s Canon, The Pushcart War, and a Newbery Award Game

This week, we welcome special guest star Robyn (my sister!!) to talk about the books we’d add or subtract from the canon of children’s literature. We review Jean Merrill’s wonderful book The Pushcart War on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, and we play a way-too-hard game about Newbery winners. You can listen to the podcast in the embedded player below or download the file directly to take with you on the go.

Episode 31

Or if you wish, you can find us on iTunes (and if you enjoy the podcast, give us a good rating! We appreciate it very very much).

Note: My family frequently breaks into song when we are bored. That is why that happened. If you ever hang out with me and Robyn, you will find us breaking into song kind of often.
