In this episode, guest Krystal Black of the Chapel Hill Public Library joins us to teach us how to read books to children The Best, whether it be one charge or a handful of children. She also answers listener questions, discusses the word gap, gives tips for how to incorporate more books into your day, tells us how to introduce children to new literature when you’ve grown tired of their favorites, and (timecode 15 minutes) plays Stump the Librarian while teaching us how to read some particularly problematic types of books.
(timecode 24 minutes) Listeners, you can win a copy of the BabyLit title Alice in Wonderland! The contest is now closed. Thank you all for participating.

All it takes is for you to point your computer or phone browser over to “Send a Soundbite” and send us a clip of your anonymous nanny confession.
