It’s also an important stage in understanding a piece of literature because oftentimes it is necessary to see how other works have influenced the author and how different texts are employed in the piece of literature to convey certain meanings. It’s how one text’s meaning is shaped by another text. For those of you who did not have to suffer through an English major, or worse, a Comparative Literature PhD, intertextuality is simply the relationship between different texts. I wanted to draw attention to this connection between Pizzoli’s books and Lobel’s book because, not only is it just interesting and fun to notice the similarities and differences, but it’s also a good way to subtly introduce your child to the concept of intertextuality. And, incidentally, one of Pizzoli’s most recent books, Baloney and Friends, which (and I love this idea) is a graphic novel for younger children, also has a section that’s inspired by the “Tear-water Tea” chapter of Owl at Home. Specifically, Good Night Owl was inspired by the chapter entitled “Strange Bumps” and probably also to a little lesser extent by the chapter entitled “The Guest” in Lobel’s book. And if you’ve read Owl At Home and then read Good Night Owl, it’s very apparent that Greg Pizzoli found inspiration in many of the scenarios, illustrations, and even some of the turns of phrase that are found in Arnold Lobel’s collection of stories about his Owl. Greg Pizzoli has said in interviews that Owl at Home was and still is one of his favorite children’s books and that he’s been inspired by Arnold Lobel’s work. The reason that I wanted to talk about these two excellent books in tandem today is because one has directly influenced the other. In this episode, we’re going to be talking about two books that my boys love at bedtime and they are … Owl At Home, by Arnold Lobel and Good Night Owl, by Greg Pizzoli. I’ll link them both in the shownotes or you can just go to Episode 15or Episode 16and you’ll find those transcripts. Clark’s more recent book, You Belong Here. In our previous Bedtime Book Episodes, we talked about Margaret Wise Brown’s classic Goodnight Moon and M.H. All of the books I’ve chosen are tried and true favorites in my family and, in addition to all of them being good for building your child’s brain, they will hopefully also help you to get your kids to actually go to sleep.

Listen to the Podcast Episode: Books Mentioned in this Episode: It’s key for her success as a reader if your child can start seeing the interconnectivity among books, stories, and characters and start discovering how literature works early on in her reading life. Demonstrating how stories can relate to each other helps to hone your child’s comparison skills and can also help your child later on when she is asked in school to put a work of fiction in historical, social, or literary context. Drawing attention to the connection between books is not only interesting and fun to do as a reader, but it’s also a good way to subtly introduce your child to the concept of intertextuality.
