S1 - EP 9 - Twinkle Twinkle Blue Tarp Wrinkle

2026-03-1003:51

Send a text A leaky roof, a blue tarp, and a stack of starry bedtime books—sometimes the best stories start in the mess. We hit record outside the shop at nine at night, waiting for a roofer and choosing optimism anyway. That tension between chaos and comfort shapes everything: the fear of losing a small bookstore we’ve grown to love, the decision to finish our season together, and the quiet relief that a familiar lullaby still works when the rain won’t quit. We dive into a quick, heartfelt ...

S1 - EP 8 - Rain, Rain, Brain Drain

2026-03-0304:18

Send a text The morning started with a downpour, a missing coffee, and zero patience for rain songs—so of course we leaned straight into rain. We traded jabs about soggy commutes and then opened a stack of children’s books that turn gray skies into bright, read-aloud moments. From rhythmic takes on Rain, Rain, Go Away by Caroline Jayne Church and Steven Anderson to the classic It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, we explored how simple refrains help kids build phonemic awareness, memory, and confidenc...

S1 - EP 7 - Itsy Bitsy Spider Savage

2026-02-2404:01

Send a text One spider on the front door can flip a quiet morning into a full-on bookstore saga. We open with a sunbathing arachnid scaring off customers and end up exploring how stories turn fear into wonder, how humor cools a hot moment, and how a small shop navigates big feelings without losing its heart. We trade the broom for a book stack: Luigi the Spider Who Wanted to Be a Kitten by Michelle Knutsen, The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle, Never Touch a Spider by Rosie Greening, Charlotte...

S1 - EP 6 - Potty Time

2026-02-1703:26

Send a text The morning goes sideways fast: a quick hello turns into an awkward bathroom-adjacent “book review” ambush, and suddenly we’re knee-deep in the most requested titles on potty training. It’s absurd, a little cringe, and somehow perfect for exploring how families use stories, songs, and pictures to make a tricky milestone feel normal. We trade notes on the heavy hitters parents reach for when diapers make their exit. Potty by Leslie Patricelli brings simple words and big feelings; ...

S1 - EP 5 - Chicken Soup With Rice

2026-02-1004:03

Send us Fan Mail Some days your voice is shot, your mood is worse, and the show must go on anyway. We hit record feeling rough and found our way back to calm with a pocket-sized classic from Maurice Sendak and a steaming lineup of plant-based soups that actually help. This is a cozy, slightly chaotic ride from grumbles to comfort, and it might be exactly what your next sick day needs. We start with the tiny treasure Chicken Soup With Rice from Sendak’s 1962 Nutshell Library and unpack why a ...

S1 - EP 4 - Wheels On The Truck

2026-02-0306:49

Send us Fan Mail Glucksey reviews (and updates) Wheels On The Bus by Raffi. A dead car, a long bus ride, and no coffee set the stage for a delightfully unhinged dive into one of the most familiar children’s songs on earth. We take Wheels on the Bus from singalong comfort to cultural artifact, tracing how folk melodies migrate, mutate, and land inside picture books that feel brand new and oddly timeless. Along the way, we compare conflicting attributions, unpack why Here We Go Round the Mulber...

S1 - EP 3 - Disappointing Affirmations

2026-01-2704:24

Send us Fan Mail Baby and Glucksey review and experience Disappointing Affirmations by Dave Tarnowski. A purse swings, stickers fly, the register dies, and the coffee runs out—so we reach for the only thing that still works: a book that tells the truth with a smirk. We dive into Dave Tarnowski’s “Disappointing Affirmations,” a collection of sharp, honest lines that cut through chaos and hand you the tiniest slice of control. Not glittery inspiration, but usable humor—the kind that lets ...

S1 - EP 2 - Paw Patrol

2026-01-2005:17

Send us Fan Mail Glucksey reviews and auditions for the Paw Patrol book series. A children’s brand can soothe bedtime—or shortchange it. We step behind the bookstore counter and into the world of Paw Patrol paperbacks to see what kids actually learn when rescue missions jump from screen to page. Between shelving returns and dodging chaos, we break down why these books fly off displays, how the storytelling rhythm models teamwork and planning, and where polished plots can inadvertently train k...
