  • Summary

  • 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!

  • My Cat Looks Like My Dad (Thao Lan)

    My Cat Looks Like My Dad (Thao Lan)
    Apr 2 2025

    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.

    Feb 14 2025

    Got a family funeral coming up? It's Greatest Generation authors to the rescue! Why write about the meaning of life or ways to process grief when you can publish a how-to guide for death complete with the stages of rigor mortis? The Dead Bird proves you can be known for children's literary classics and still get your most disturbing ideas published!
