In this episode of the Board Book Breakdown, KC and Eric delve into the 1991 children's book 'The Frog Prince, Continued' by Jon Scieszka. They discuss the genesis for the Board Book Break down, the origin of OG Fairy Tales, new age gentle parenting fairy tales, and flipping the script on both. “Happily ever after” takes intention, compromise, and working together.

About the Show:
Board Book Breakdown is the hilarious, slightly NSFW podcast where two overstimulated parents dissect the children’s books our toddlers demand and ask the question that matters: why is this a thing? We read over a thousand kids’ books a year. Some are sweet, some are cardboard fever dreams from the nightmare collection… and of course, those are the kids’ favorites.
Every week, we go down a quick author rabbit hole, share our what the— moments, ask what would a toddler say? If bedtime stories are breaking your brain, come laugh with us. New episodes every week—subscribe and follow.
