Goodnight Already!
April 27, 2015 19:00 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBEvery once in a while, we stumble upon a book that just falls right into Sam's wheelhouse. This was that book! It was goofy, there was a duck, um.... do we need a third thing? It was good! Just listen to the darn thing! Jory John and Benji Davies give us a book that fits perfectly with the idea of a bedtime story. Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later. We read the books alou...
The Paper Bag Princess
April 20, 2015 19:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBWe continue our princess theme by reading The Paper Bag Princess! This, much like last week's book, hails to us from a foreign land! The foreign land of Canadia! What fun! This was a cute book that may not make the most sense, when you factor in physics. But who ever factored in physics to a children's book? (Hint: us.) Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later. We read the book...
The Princess Knight
April 13, 2015 19:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBThis is the story of Arya-Merida in her quest to be a sword weilding princess who doesn't want her father to marry her off. Arya-Merida is the best princess ever! Apparently this book is a translation, but you'll just have to wait till the end to find out from which original language! Oh man, worst buzzfeed title ever... Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later. We read the boo...
Dinosaur Dream
April 06, 2015 19:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MBThis is another of my favorite books from when I was a kid. Not only is the art absolutely gorgeous, it also is FULL of dinosaurs! Who wouldn't love that? People who are unAmerican, that's who. And you don't want to be unAmerican, do you? We tried something a little different this episode, going with a book more driven by story than by the illustrated pages. The art, impressive though it is, is largely superfluous. But it is an enjoyable, andwonder-filled book. And I still like it! Rachel...
Only Cows Allowed
March 30, 2015 19:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MBHere's a story where reality... shifts. Who knows what hidden terrors lurk in the realm of REDACTED disguised as cows? I know that we don't. Together, we all can explore this mysterious realm of the crazy, cat-loving farmer and his cows(?) of squatter's rights. Lotta swearing in this one for some reason. Sorry! Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later. We read the books aloud a...

Blow Your Nose, Bid Bad Wolf
March 16, 2015 19:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MBWe've got a bit a twist this week! It's the story of the three little pigs, but this time the wolf has a bit of a cold! What hilarity will ensue from this? (Answer: a reasonable amount) Brought to us by Steve Smallman (author) and Bruno Merz (illustrator) is a goofy new take on a classic story!

Dragons Love Tacos

My Humongous Hamster
March 02, 2015 20:00 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBI gotta be real with you for a second. This is one big hamster. Also, I may have read this story entirely as a weird old man. We came up with the idea, Rachel and I, thought it would be funny, and then promptly forgot to mention it at ALL during the actual podcast. Because we are dumb. So go ahead and enjoy this very silly story, but be warned: I'M OLD!! Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read t...
Pirates Love Underpants
February 23, 2015 20:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBWe're continuing Season 2 strong! This week the very fun... but weird, Pirates Love Underpants by Claire Freedman (author) and Ben Cort (illustrator). Every pirate has to have a theme, I suppose, so what happens when a particular pirate crew is underpants themed? Shenanigans is the only possible outcome. Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later. We read the books aloud and make ...
Curious George Takes a Job
February 16, 2015 20:00 - 52 minutes - 48 MBWelcome to Season 2 of Rachel & Sam Read a Story! Now with an intro! Isn't it so shiny and fancy? We certainly think so.

Riddles!
February 02, 2015 20:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBThis is a quite old book of riddles/jokes for kids. It was published in 1960! It's called Bennett Cerf's Book of Riddles (with drawings by Roy McKie). Sam's sister got it for him for Hannukah this year. Isn't that nice? It is especially nice because this old book was turned into a journal by Ex Libris Anonyous. Jaboc ([email protected]) apparently takes old kids books and turns them into quirky little journals! What a fun idea! I get a journal, and you get to enjoy some classic riddles a...
Earth Space Moon Base
January 26, 2015 20:00 - 22 minutes - 20.8 MBIn this silly little book by Ben Joel Price, we leave the earth and the present behind. Everything is all cute and cuddly in space until..... MONSTERS!!

Find Waldo Now
January 19, 2015 20:00 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBThis week, we at the podcast try something experimental. It's a podcast of a children's book with limited story! No, wait... that's every week. Um...it's a podcast about a book with a different structure? Sure, ok. We play around with a Where's Waldo book! (By Martin Handford) It's a longer episode, and possibly less interesting! Who knows? Please give us a listen and let us know how it compares to other episodes. We'd love to know if you'd like us to try other experimental things like this!...
Edda
January 12, 2015 20:00 - 33 minutes - 30.2 MBAlright! 2015 is in full swing, and Rachel and I had a great new year! She did.... something. I don't remember. And I was in Tucson and it SNOWED!! Because this is the first podcast we actually recorded in 2015, I figured, let's read about someone's first day of school! Edda, by Adam Auerbach, is the story of the littlest Valkyrie as she attends school for the very first time! Let's listen!

December 29, 2014 20:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBDerek Anderson brings us a lively, fun, and above all goofy tale of what might happen if Santa got...inconvenienced, and the Easter Bunny had to fill in. The Easter Bunny tries so hard. This was a fun story that both Rachel and I enjoyed more-so than the books that would have actually been targetted towards us as kids. Really tells ya sumthin'. Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years...
Eight Wild Nights
December 22, 2014 20:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MBGoing back to Hannukah movie, Rachel and I read Eight Crazy Nights by Brian P Cleary and illustrated by David Udovic. See, the book's title is related to the fact that Hannukah is a holiday that spans eight nights. It's clever, which is why the Adam Sandler movie has almost the same name. (I think that one is Eight Crazy Nights) Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later. We read ...

How do Dinosaurs say Happy Chanukah?
December 08, 2014 20:00 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBIt's a legitimate question. Given the wide range of religious affiliations commonly associated with the dinosaurs, how do those that identify as Jewish, or perhaps those that simply wish to be inclusive, say "Happy Chanukah?" I've often wondered. Now, I have my answer. Turns out it's "GRAAAAAR!" (Spoiler warning) Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them 20 years later.

We enjoyed it! You will too. Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books, and also about how little sense these books make when you read them ...

Clifford the Big Red Dog
November 10, 2014 20:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBOne of those classic books that everyone thinks of when talking about kids' literature is Clifford the Big Red Dog, by Norman Bridwell.

October 27, 2014 19:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBThe Experiments of Doctor Vermin discusses the sad truth. Tim Egan tells it like it is: there are sceitists out there turning pigs into giant pigs.

The Cat in the Hat
August 18, 2014 19:00 - 32 minutes - 29.3 MBThe Cat in the Hat, by Dr. Suess is on the greatest juggernauts of the children's literature world. It redefined what makes a "Learn to Read" book and has been consistently read by basically everyone everywhere forever. We read it, you've read it.

Please, Louise
August 11, 2014 19:00 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MBFIRST THINGS FIRST! Rachel made a mistake! Their Eyes Were Watching God is NOT by Toni Morrison. It was written by Zora Neale Hurston.

June 09, 2014 19:00 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MBJoined again by Samantha Chott, we read The Silly Knight by David Pascal. This is an old book. It came out in 1967 with only one printing.
