## Resource

Holy carp! this is our 30th episode and at this moment we have 988 listens!! Mike and David return to short books—board books even!—with Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann, and they are so excited about good and night being two words and the comma in the title!! The Dads discuss the nods to Goodnight Moon including the ever-present mouse and the ever-present, or almost always ever-present balloon and other mysteries and controversies. The chat? Mike comes clean, David learns he’s been mispronouncing something for decades. The art? Vibrant palate, beautiful colors and really cool details including nods to children’s literature and even television references. Check it out. If you liked this episode, you’ll love: Goodnight Moon , one of the inspirations of this book. Good night. Or Good. Day. Or Good Grief, Charlie Brown...
