One, two, The Stinky Cheese Man is coming for you//three, four, better lock your door//five, six, grab your crucifix//seven, eight, gonna stay up late//nine, ten, never sleep again. That poem cannot be found in any Shel Silverstein book, but now that you have recited it, he will come for you and us all. Some weird energy to start us off especially since this is an episode about children's books!! There is just one cursed section, but the rest is full of reminiscence and the joy of reading memories from our childhood. Let us know what you think of our picks and please send us your recommendations for children's books! We've got 2 dads looking for future content to share with their kids!  Be sure to pick up your copy of our August book selection, The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty! Thank you all for following, listening, and reading along with us!! Don't forget to send us your quotes of the week!
