Just chillin with a stick with a nut for a head. That's what Rebecca and Michael are doing.
Rebecca and Michael talk about The Cat Who Went to Heaven about as long as they talked about the other books they're reading right now, if that gives you any indication of how interesting this book is. We'd love to hear from you! Email us at: newberychronicles@gmail.com
If Rebecca and Michael could talk to the animals, they'd probably try to get them to listen to the Newbery Chronicles. If the animals listened to this episode, they'd hear us discuss the Hugh Lofting's 1923 Newbery Medal winner, The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle.
In the spirit of the new year, our steadfast pair runs through some notable books they read in 2023!
