Summary: Are you looking for the episode with Dr. Michael Gurian? That one is actually episode 82: Why Fidgeting is a Good Sign (and what brain science has to say about reading aloud), Dr. Michael Gurian<br> <br> <br> <br> Today I'm sharing one of the best books I read last year. The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street is uniquely wonderful-- a refreshing and upbeat middle grade novel featuring a loud and lively big family (5 kids and their parents), a curmudegonly landlord, a talented bunny, and enough witty dialogue to keep you warm for the rest of winter.<br> <br> <br> <br> This is now my go-to recommendation for families who love The Penderwicks, All-of-a-Kind Family, The Saturdays or The Moffats.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The author's dog is named Ginger Pye. So we knew she was gonna feel right at home here at RAR, right?<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode, you'll hear:<br> <br> <br> <br> how a building or a place can (and did!) become a book characterKarina's writing process (hint: she wrote her first books during NaNoWriMo)books suggestions that celebrate families<br> <br> <br> <br> Click the play button below:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> More free resources & booklists Get the best episodes and reources from the Read-Aloud Revival Keep an eye on your inbox!
