Hi, everybody! What do Below Deck, post WWII England, the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II, Pee-Wee and his Big Adventure, and truly horrible dolls have in common? Why, this podcast, of course! We read The Doll's House (1947), a little story that starts with a lot of housework and ends with MURDER.

Listen, we understand. You may not be into Pee-Wee's Big Adventure as much as we are. Who is, really? So if you want to skip our total meltdown over that movie, it starts at 43:20 and ends at around 46:00. You're welcome. 

Next time: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1967), by the one and only Roald Dahl. See you soon!

We have been so excited to share this book with you for so long. It's Maudie and Me and the Dirty Book (1980), written by an amazing author named Betty Miles. It touches on SO MANY of the issues that we are facing still, 40 years later, when it comes to children's literature. We hope you will enjoy our discussion and let us know your thoughts (aytgpodcast@gmail.com). 

Other talking points: Below Deck (the OG for now, but Erin is catching up on spin-offs), first grade classroom management, and (of course) actual dirty books. Come join us! 

Next time: The Doll's House (1947), by Rumer Godden. See you then!

Holy, cow! We're back! Can you believe it? We've missed you SO MUCH. Don't ask, it was rough.

Here's our latest, a discussion of Tuck Everlasting (1975), written by Natalie Babbitt. You guys think this one's going to be cute because Rory Gilmore was in the movie version... but it's not. We make up for it with a 3.5 minute recap of the entire "Twilight" saga you never knew you needed. We also touch on the topic of old and young (and immortal) horses of all sizes.

Our next episode will be about Maudie and Me and the Dirty Book (1980), a beautiful, fantastic (yet out of print) book by Betty Miles that might just make you wanna get up and vote in an election some time in the near future. Ahem. 

See you soon!
