Rachel & Sam Read a Story

Sitting right next to Margaret Wise Brown on the library shelf is Sam Brown who wrote a book with an AWESOME title. It's Sometimes I Forget You're a Robot. A little boy plays with a robot toy and is gifted with a new GIGANTIC ROBOT FRIEND. And he dreams of what he can do with his giant robot friend. Give it a listen and a read!

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 fun of them while we do. Enjoy!

Goodnight Moon is one of those books that everyone has read. Often it's the very first book someone's read. It's Sam's first book anyway. It's a beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written story about a little bunny going to bed. Written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd, Goodnight Moon is an absolute classic. Now let's tell jokes.

This book consists of paper pages and plastic pages so that color can be laid over color. It presents a cool story about combining colors and hidden shapes. Kids'll love it! We thought it was okay. Well, Sam thought it was okay. It's one of Rachel's favorites. It's by Annette Tison and Talus Taylor. Colors!

Rachel and I had so much fun reading Neil Gaiman's Chu's Day last week that we decided to read another of his books this week! We bring you Blueberry Girl, a beautiful prayer for Neil's own daughter. Illustrated by Charles Vess, this wonderful story is just very nice and very pretty. Read it!

You know who writes good stories? Neil Gaiman writes good stories. Both Sam and Rachel love his books and the Sandman comics, but did you know he ALSO has written some children's books? Well... we've GOT to read that! Chu's Day is a fun story about a panda bear. HA! Panda BEAR! I got the last word Rachel!

Also it's illustrated by Adam Rex. A Tucson guy! Man, I like this book.

We get a little multi-cultural this week as we read a book that seems to be inspired by old morality tales. Oh No! is a fun story about falling in a hole, by Candace Fleming (Author), Eric Rohmann (Illustrator)

Last week we read The Cat in the Hat. That was so much fun that we had to do another Dr. Suess. Allow us to present: Fox in Socks! As easy as last week's was to read, this book is absolute disaster of a tongue twister. WHEEE!!

The 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. It's a fun book that helped us each figure out basic rhyme scheme. Also reading. BUT that doesn't mean it isn't without it's flaws...

FIRST THINGS FIRST! Rachel made a mistake! Their Eyes Were Watching God is NOT by Toni Morrison. It was written by Zora Neale Hurston. She is sorry and you all deserve to know the TRUTH!

Anyway, we read this book. It was cute. Sure, I'd appreciate it if Louise thought of the outside world as a pleasant thing, but I can't blame her for enjoying reading.

I Want My Hat Back and This Is Not My Hat, both by Jon Klassen, are an amazing pair of books. Completely different characters, both dealing with the harrowing issue of a stolen hat. These books are silly and amazing. We read them BOTH!
