Weekly Roundup: “Animalphabet,” Too Old for Cool on Substack, and Picking Your Battles

Things look and sound a little different here at Parenting Roundabout? Check out Tuesday's episode and post for the details.

Each Thursday, join us for a weekly roundup that's an update on our most recent podcast format. We'll bring you a library find, an update from Terri on life or pop culture or whatever's on her mind, and a pick from our archives.

Catherine's library find this week is a lushly illustrated children's picture book called Animalphabet by Julia Donaldson, with art by Sharon King-Chai, because there's always room for another animal alphabet book (especially when it's this beautiful). Mentioned: Some of Donaldson's other titles, Room on the Broom, The Gruffalo, and The Gruffalo's Child (all illustrated by Axel Scheffler). 

Terri's random recommendation is the exciting news that she has started a Substack newsletter! Find out more and subscribe: Too Old for Cool. It's free (although you're welcome to pay her if you'd like).

In the archives, we revisit a classic from two years ago: Choosing Your Parenting Battles.

Next week's lineup: 

• A Gentleman in Moscow E2, "An Invitation," on Tuesday, July 16
• Lost S1 E2, "Pilot Part 2," on Wednesday, July 17
• Weekly roundup on Thursday, July 18

Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
