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

    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.
