Kenny Phillips

If you have or love little kids or even big kids who sometimes miss the magic of being a little kid, you’ll love this episode about children’s picture books for the holidays. I’m joined by my friend (and friend of the show), Katie Kenny Phillips, to build a list of 12 Books of Christmas!   Katie is a writer and children’s book author of several adorable books and a mom of five kids who still love pulling books out of their Christmas book basket every year. And my kids know that while the level of difficulty or Pinterest-like detail may vary year to year, we are going to read a whole stack of holiday books every December, no matter what. So Katie and I are sharing with you a few of our family’s favorites, plus I tell you about a few books I’m looking forward to reading for the first time this year.   Of course, because this is The Couch, where side notes and rabbit trails are always welcome, we also discuss chocolate-covered fruit, hiding our treats from our kids, and British lady detective shows.   Before we start our list of Christmas picture books, a quick question: Have you been missing my reviews of this year’s new holiday movies? Are you dying to know what someone else thought about that Christmas movie on Netflix or the one on Lifetime or, obviously, Hallmark? You know I’m watching them and you know I’ve got opinions! And I’ve been chatting with friends about these movies over on Patreon, where you can find weekly episodes with reviews of the most recently released holiday movies. You also get a whole bunch of other fun perks when you join Patreon, so go to patreon.com/thecouch and consider joining. It’s basically a Christmas present for yourself, you know. And ‘tis the season for that!   All right, let’s start the show.   MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:  All the books on this list (don't tell; there are more than 12!)    NOT-SO-GUILTY PLEASURES:  Tru Fru British lady detective TV shows    DON’T FORGET:  Join The Couch on Facebook! It’s so much fun! Find Katie on Instagram at @katiekennyphillips, and you can find her books on Amazon. And you can find me on Instagram at @marycarver or at marycarver.com.    Welcome to The Couch!

#144 - The 12 Books of Christmas for Kids (with Katie Kenny Phillips)

Katie Kenny

A told B, and B told C, “I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree.” “Whee!” said D to E F G, “I’ll beat you to the top of the coconut tree.” Chicka chicka boom boom! Will there be enough room?   No, this isn’t bedtime stories with Mary. But if you did recognize those words, then you are going to love this week’s episode!   Katie Kenny Phillips joins me to talk about our favorite books to read aloud to the kids in our lives, and while we struggle to narrow down our choices (as usual), we do end up with a fantastic list for you.   Katie is a writer, editor, and—most relevant for today’s conversation—a children’s book author of several adorable books and a mom of five kids who, I’m pretty sure, have listened to her read a whole lot of books over the years.   Of course, because this is The Couch, where rabbit trails and side notes are always welcome, we also got into the perfect reading spot, the truth about teaching teenagers to drive, and the March watch guide I made for you last week. Okay, it’s time. Let’s get started!   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:    Reading books to our kids creates connection, empathy, and a shared language. My library system has a goal for parents to read 1,000 books before kindergarten. Click here for a list of all the books we mentioned (and more).    NOT-SO-GUILTY PLEASURES:  Reading in the sunshine (or the shade) Mary’s new Watch Guide for March 2022    DON’T FORGET:  Join The Couch on Facebook! It’s so much fun! Find Katie on Instagram at @katiekennyphillips, and you can find her books on Amazon. And you can find me on Instagram at @marycarver or at marycarver.com.    Welcome to The Couch!
