Episode 174 - Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Our very first screw up! Huzzah! Betsy walked into the recording with Kate safe in the knowledge that they hadn't done Chicka Chicka Boom Boom before. Never mind that they actually did do it almost exactly a year ago. Whoops. So in a pinch Betsy decides the time is right to do a different Bill Martin Jr. It's the very first book that Eric Carle ever illustrated and he's redone it something like five times. In the course of things Kate puts forward the theory that this is the picture book version of Rockwell's I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me. Kate and Betsy also view it through the lens of post-McCarthyism and Kate has an under the radar discussion of what's really going on with the Black Sheep. Show Notes: So actually it was powdered gelatin that the Horse of Another Color was covered in. Don't think too hard about what the gelatin was made of: https://oz.fandom.com/wiki/Horse_of_a_Different_Color Like we say, check out the Eric Carle Museum here, if you get a chance: https://www.carlemuseum.org/content/current-exhibitions For the full Show Notes please visit: http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2021/03/01/fuse-8-n-kate-brown-bear-brown-bear-what-do-you-see/
