What If World - Stories for Kids

Show Notes

In the latest episode of their madcap cooking show, inFredible, Fred gets turned into Peanut Butter and chased by the Peanut Butter Beast! We are joined by Andy Griffiths, author of the hilarious You and Me and the Peanut Butter Beast, illustrated by Bill Hope.

Lessons include: Table manners help you enjoy your meal safely and mindfully; if a device is unnecessary, set it aside while you eat.

Australian Children's Laureate Andy Griffiths is our special guest this week. His latest book is a fully illustrated adventure for kids 6-10, called You and Me and the Peanut Butter Beast! We read the first two books with Thing 1 and Thing 2 and all had a lot of laughs. Find it at your favorite bookstore and please share any What Ifs it inspires!
