WTH Story Corner

About WTH Story Corner

Here we explore the quirky, bizarre, and wonderful world of children's literature. Each episode we find a book or story that will entertain and delight you (and maybe your child). What the Hell Story Corner is a podcast for parents and educators, but be sure little ears aren't listening in. Lea-Anne and Anna get honest about these books and the issues they explore, which can lead to 'adult' language. You'll never look at kiddie lit the same!
