Show Notes

The "Dads on Books" welcomed Lucy Patrick, who selected a copy of the 1947 classic, Good Night Moon. Lucy chose her sticky shredded copy of the book mostly because the mouse is "really cute". The dads, with a lot of help from brilliant Lucy, calculate that it took the little bunny a wopping 70 minutes to finally fall asleep. They debated whether the pages stuck together from "peas and tea", discussed the controversial missing comma in the title, and Lucy notes that the cozy room is a major "fire hazard". In the end, we all agree that parents of young children should retitle the book "Goodnight Moon... and Good Luck."
