About this listen

 Here we explore the quirky, bizarre, and wonderful world of children's literature. Each episode we find a book or story that will entertain and delight you (and maybe your child). What the Hell Story Corner is a podcast for parents and educators, but be sure little ears aren't listening in. Lea-Anne and Anna get honest about these books and the issues they explore, which can lead to 'adult' language. You'll never look at kiddie lit the same!Lea-Anne Peach & Anna Marie Riley Art Literary History & Criticism

    17 Things I'm Not Allowed To Do Anymore (Jenny Offill)

    If you think you just might be raising the next Elizabeth Holmes, this book could be for you. A modern-day Ramona Quimby takes things to the next level of chaos only to be consistently shut down by the adults. And the moral of the story? Wellll, let's just say it's questionable.

    Find the book at your local library, indie bookstore, or on Amazon.

    Pets as children, Dads in 80s gym gear, and Moms who pass for teenagers take center stage in this cerebral journey to found families. Yeah, most adults wouldn't even pick up on the subtle message of this one. Lea-Anne was so excited she forgot to put on pants.

    How does a book about a cat playing with aliens who crash landed in his house get nominated for a Caldecott? Yeah, we were kinda stumped too. Oh, did we mention there are no words? Lea-Anne is mostly mystified while Anna is just annoyed. If the choices of the publishing industry leave you scratching your head, this one's for you.

    Oh, and that video about the history of the world I mentioned? You can find it here.
