Rachel & Sam Read a Story

The Bear ate it.

We saw, or rather read about, the whole thing! And man, that bear sure had an amazing day!

Just picture this bear on his FIRST day in the big city! Oh boy! He's gonna get an ice cream cone, take a picture at the top of the Empire State Building, through his lovely hat into the air while spinning around and arou-

Hmmm...

I might be thinking of something different. Anyway, this book is great!

Rachel & Sam Read a Story is about the fun of reading children's books new and old, 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 as we go. Enjoy!

Quackers is a duck.

Oh sure, Quackers may look like a cat, and SOUND like a cat. But I tell you true! Quackers is a duck.

Mittens, on the other hand (Ha HA! Puns!), is the weirdest duck that Quackers has ever met and Quackers is excited to find out more.

And also, at the end, an argument about Vegan life-choices. (Sam is definitely right!)

Rachel and Sam may be tired, but Bear is not. No sir. Bear will be hanging out ALL winter with his little ducky friends.

But friends, Winter is Coming.

And Bear must prepare. For the Night is dark and full of terrors. And Ducks. The night is dark and full of terror and ducks.

I think that's about right.

Be warned! The contents of this book have been known to be volatile and try to escape!

Be secondarily warned! Sam's is having to skype in this episode and it's a little fuzzy.

But most importantly, no matter WHAT you do, DO. NOT. OPEN. THIS. BOOK.

But I mean... now we kinda gotta! Right?

I've never had a pen pal before. It always seemed like a cool thing to have. When my friend Payim moved away when I was a kid, I suggested we be pen pals, but it never happened.

Now this kid, George, he DOES get to have a pen pal. And it's a DRAGON! How AWESOME is that?? And this guy, Blaise, gets to have a pen pal and it's a HUMAN?? WHOA!!

So basically, George gets to have the childhood I wished I had.

How many haircuts does a person need at a time?

ONE! Ah-ah-ah!

Alright, you may now commence boo-ing. Y'know, like a ghost!

Oh man, I can't stop myself. Anyway, this is a cute little book about a little girl who's afraid of getting haircuts, and what better what to get over one fear than having it presented to you by a BLOOD-SUCKING VAMPIRE?????

I honestly can't think of a better way.

You have to admire a bear that knows what he wants. And Bruce wants eggs, so he goes out and GETS them.

Of course, eggs always have a different maturation time and if Bruce get's the timing SLIGHTY wrong, then-

Well now we've got ourselves a Mother Goose Bruce.

Rachel thought this book was absolutely adorable and I have to agree. Poor Bruce. It's not easy being a bear. Who's hungry.

Grrrrrrrrrr

We are just on a 4th wall breaking kick! Frankencrayon promised to be an amazing book. Unfortunately though, it was CANCELLED.

So what's a cast of crayons to do?

Well I mean they HAVE to explain what happened. A book doesn't just get cancelled for no reason... right??

Frankencrayon is a fun little book and it's interesting to step inside the thought process of a crayon.

You guys. Did you know that there is a skeleton INSIDE YOUR BODY, like, ALL the time?? Because I sure didn't know. Neither did Samira.

It's sure weird and gross. Who'd even WANT a skeleton in your body? It would go wherever you go and see whatever you do! How weird is that?? All the weird.

So this book is fun little exploration in how we're all the same inside. It's the outside of is that's about to get murdered by mothers. Particularly THIS mother.

But I don't want to spoil anything, give this episode a listen!
