WTH Story Corner

By: Lea-Anne Peach & Anna Marie Riley
  • 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!

    Another master class in breathtaking artwork framing a truly bizarre story (if we can even call it that). Is it an allegory for television? Is it just entertainment for adults who took gummies before reading a bedtime story? We'll find out in this episode!
