To get detainees to talk, one of the songs interrogators at Guantanamo Bay use most is Barney’s “I Love You.”

Stan and Jan Berenstain didn’t just write about bears. Among their other credits: How to Teach Your Children About Sex.

Week Six: In which novella = "picture book" and psyche = "basement"

 

Week Six's completed challenge can be found here!

As I mentioned in a previous post, this prompt eventually germinated into something a bit different than the original idea I had for it. 

Basically, I ended up writing a children's picture book that would, I think, scare the piss out of anyone under the age of, let's say, eight. 

Anyone with kids care to give it a try...? (Mwah ha ha.)

Will post reflections as well as Week Seven's challenge soon!
