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!

Parenting styles, hypocrite bears, and gift shop induced PTSD are explored in detail in this week's episode. We both agree Mama Bear was right. What do you think?

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!

Terrible recommendation technology, the necessity of failed inventions, and turn-of-the-century male preoccupation with size take center stage in Anna and Lea-Anne's exploration of children's biography!

Ooohkay. After uploading the B-roll, here's the edit. Sorry about that!!!

Celebrity vanity project or existentialist musings of a child whisperer? (Hint: it's the first one) Anna and Lea-Anne have fun picking apart this plotless series of musings about the contradictions in life. They don't apologize for the critique, but they do apologize for the fact that Anna should be recording in her office instead of a room where the sound echoes off the walls)

Manipulative siblings, creepy ass cover art, and mic drop endings reign supreme in this hard to pronounce tale from the writer of Jumanji and Polar Express.

Another book with an existentialist crisis? We're in! Anna and Lea-Anne investigate work ethic, consumer culture, synonyms for worm poop in this gem.

Wildlife harassment, psilocybin, and underfunded sociopath librarians take center stage this week in a truly odd selection with literally no plot (which drives Anna to the brink of her sanity)
