Two of the five answers are Rereading Our Childhood episodes! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

On our third annual Encyclopedia Brown podcast episode, we matched wits with the boy detective (you can too!), delved into the social history of Bugs Meany's hat, and solved the mystery of what state Idaville is in. www.buzzsprout.com/admin/216953...

With the summer winding down, we revisited The Long Secret, Louise Fitzhugh's 1965 sequel to Harriet the Spy, which is one of the all-time great summer reads. We also talked about Leslie Brodie's wonderful biography of Fitzhugh, Sometimes You Have to Lie. www.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...

We had a great time visiting the world of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel Little Women with our friend Jamie Stiehm. Favorite quote from Jamie: "When's the last time you went skylarking and wore a frock?" rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...

We celebrated the beginning of (northern hemisphere) summer by discussing Magic by the Lake, the sequel to Half Magic. Edward Eager is charming and witty as always, but this book includes several scenes that don't pass muster today. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...

For our latest episode, we reread Mary Poppins and discussed, among many other things, the very different book and movie versions of the magical nanny. www.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock. Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word. #WorldBookDay

Want to escape down a literary rabbit hole and ignore everything for a while? Permission granted. We're celebrating #WorldBookDay, with this wonderful copy of Alice in Wonderland, illustrated by Margaret Tarrant in 1916. CUL 1916.8.334 #WBD #AliceinWonderland

Apparently THE DARK IS RISING is available to listen to for free!

For our last episode of the year, we talked about our favorite children books from 60 years ago, which we defined as 1964-66. We turned out to both have the same favorite: Louise Fitzhugh's The Long Secret, the sequel to Harriet the Spy. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...

This week, we read The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. It's the story of Will, who discovers on his eleventh birthday that he’s an Old One, destined to fight against the Dark. It takes place over the holidays and is a great December read. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...

For our latest episode, Deborah and I read L. Frank Baum's 1900 classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. We talked about the monoculture, the history of sunglasses, and, of course, the movie. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/epis...

It was a total coincidence, but excellent timing, that we chose the 100th anniversary of Joan Aiken's birth to discuss her wonderful book Black Hearts in Battersea. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/1562...

We had a lot of fun discussing Joan Aiken's Black Hearts in Battersea, set in an alt-history 19th-century London where resourceful orphans foil sinister plots. September 4 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of this wonderful, inventive writer. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/1562...

In our latest episode, Mary Grace introduces Deborah to a childhood favorite, Ellen Raskin's 1971 mystery novel (really more of a puzzle/word game) The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I Mean Noel). rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/1547...

On our latest episode, we discuss Misty of Chincoteague, Marguerite Henry's classic 1947 story about two wild ponies and a brother and sister on the island of Chincoteague who long to own them. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/1539...

We celebrated the new year by discussing our favorite children's books from 50 years ago (defined as 1972-1974). Surprisingly, Mary Rodgers' A Billion for Boris was the only book on both of our lists. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/1429...

On our latest podcast episode, we discuss Pippi Longstocking. We talk about our mixed feelings on rereading it, Pippi as a feminist icon, and Lindgren's legendary status in Sweden, where Mary Grace spent a month earlier this year. rereadingourchildhood.buzzsprout.com/2169533/1414...
