My interest was peaked after seeing a video cut of Stephen Colbert with Julie Andrews - both pitching their children's books. Don't get too hung up (yes there is a pun here too) on the stripper pole - when you buy a chemical to remove paint in a bottle there is not a nude woman inside! Good books are layered with meaning. Great books mean different things to different age groups and different walks of life. And that includes books for kids. Re-read some Dr. Seuss!
I was feeling a bit foolish buying an 8 minute audiobook, but did it anyway - I'm so glad I did! I had no clue till the end the proceeds go to vets - that alone makes the book worth every penny and more. Made my day!

I'm so glad I did

Let's not try to overanalyze this, shall we? It's hysterical. Fans of Stephen Colbert will probably appreciate the humor in it more, but anyone with a funny bone should get a giggle (or at least a broad smile) out of this. Tom Hanks is a wonderful reader (how do we get him to read more books?)

Just plain funny

Stephen and Tom clearly enjoyed themselves in this very brief performance, and brought a smile to my face.

Some good chuckles.

Colbert is witty as ever and who doesn't love Tom Hanks? Quick jovial morsel from both.

Proceeds help vets and it gives you a chuckle. Best part was when audible asked me for review and simultaneously said I hadn’t heard enough to leave one yet. :)

A fun quick joke for a good cause…
