Plush version of Nick Bruel's "Bad Kitty" character, a fuzzy black cat with yellow eyes and a red nose, sitting on a chair on the show set.

Billy Aronson and Jennifer Oxley sit on stools as they look over at Rocco Staino while he speaks. Between the creators and the host, a small table holds two editions of the "Peg + Cat" books.

Author Peter H Reynolds appears engaged, looking to the side as he speaks with the host who is off-screen.

Book cover shows illustrations of men wearing pants and hats and women wearing long skirts who all appear to be walking around a small fire on the ground. In the background, an orange sky and blue hills bursting with fall-colored trees. Book title appears in English as "We Are Grateful"; then it appears in phonetic Cherokee, "Otsaliheliga," and again in the Cherokee syllabary.

Person holds up the book "Gone Crazy in Alabama," with a cover illustration that depicts three young girls standing in front of a yellow house, with a dog and chickens around their feet.

Book cover shows an illustration of a woman wearing a pink dress and an apron who smiles contentedly as she whisks a bowl of cream. She stands on a lawn, next to delicate blackberry vines that twist around the edges of the book cover and in front of a modest house in the background. Text reads, "A Fine Dessert. Four centuries, four families, one delicious treat. Emily Jenkins and Sophie Blackall."

Book cover shows an illustration of a little girl holding a pink parasol, dressed in a pink cloak and a fluffy skirt, with a little lamb accessory at her waist, looking excited toward us as she stands outside of a shop. Text reads, "Mary Had a Little Glam. By Tammi Sauer, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton."

Rocco Staino holds up Susan Verde's book "I Am Peace" and listens as the author speaks.
