The first question then, Jeffrey asks, what's your favorite bedtime story that you used to read to your kids or do read to your kids or one you enjoyed as a kid yourself?
It's about a snail that has an adventure riding on the tail of a whale all around the world.
And what I like about it is it has like really simple rhymes, but they're just incredibly pleasing.
It's just really nice poetry about this very wholesome adventure, which is just really nicely written.
I think it's her best.
She's written a load of other books like The Gruffalo and stuff, but this one's the best.
And what, did you have that read to you or do you read that to your kids?
I read that to my kids.

I don't know if you know that one, but it's like, it's very much like, you know, oh, should they go into that spooky old tree? Better not, you know? And then they go into this tree and it's like, There's for some reason, like a armored night or something.
There was like all kinds of crazy stuff, like inside this tree and they it's like massive inside, I guess.
I am only aware of that because of the like Mandela effect thing, Berenstein bears or something.
Bernstein bears.
So I don't know, because I feel like I'm a kid at the time, so I don't know exactly how it's supposed to be pronounced.
We always said Bernstein bears, but yeah, it's like Berenstain bears or something.
Right.
So it's just a pronunciation thing, and people just assumed it was spelt a certain way.
Maybe.
