A seriously nightmarish-esque case of stripes or Camilla Cream and her Lima Beans

from Dads on Books · host Michael Walker & David Patrick

This episode has it all! Stripes: the two dads read about them, they talk about them, David even wears them. There are specialists, experts, the carnival outside Camilla's house replete with news, people, hotdog, vendors, and other shenanigans, chicanery, tomfoolery and silly high jinks.Warning: there is some darkness, and a touch of "the scary," but the story is so much fun and the art is beautiful, and filled with so many details that you discover more each time you return to the book.And speaking of returning to the book, Mike and David don't digress at all and stay completely focused. Laser, I tell you! Just kidding. Digressions, tangents, and stories abound!Check it out.If you liked this episode, you'll LOVE these:For some darkness on the edge of town check out our first episode:  The Giving TreeWant to read a similar tale of color change?
