You know what I love doing? Audio reviews for the Brain Burps podcast. I have so much fun writing and reading them. I didn’t do any allllll summer long, because it turned out it was hard to write with everyone home this summer, and also I couldn’t ever figure out how to record a review with the noisey noisemakers in the house.

So Katie used up all my recorded-before-June reviews during the summer, except …we forgot one! So today you can hear a review I recorded back in the spring (you can tell I recorded it a long time ago because of the part where I say it’s not watermelon season yet) (and I need to maybe remember not to make my reviews so seasonally-dependent).

Today’s review is The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli, a book that can be enjoyed all year round, not only during watermelon season. We love love love this book. And you’ll hear my extreme love of the design of the book, too, if you listen to the review. (And look at how cool it is that Greg uses watermelon-colored pens to sign the book!).

You can see all the information about this week’s Brain Burps About Books episode here (Katie interviews Terry Shay about Dot Day), or you can listen directly in iTunes here.

Also be sure to check out the trailer for The Watermelon Seed. So great!
