Chris and Bobby are back from their start-of-the-year hiatus! We're all feeling refreshed and are ready to start a brand new year of story-time. We're going to kick it off by revisiting one of our favorite author's: Maurice Sendak. We started the podcast with him and it seemed time to check back on his work. This time we're talking through "In the Night Kitchen", a story about Mickey, a young boy he finds himself in the middle of fantastical, magical, and totally nonsense kitchen.&nbsp;

A Christmas Intervention

We're so excited to bring Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins to No Nonsense Storytime! The story is filled with trickery, drama, and heroic cleverness in the face of what appears to be pure evil. But nothing is what it seems to be here...

The Holidays are back and with them come our annual series of holiday stories! This is our favorite time of the year and we've picked a few particularly beloved stories for you. To start this season off we're changing the script a little bit. Instead of a children's book we're actually going to look into the narrative behind the famous song 'Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer'.

What Even Are Double Ovens?

This episode is a little bit different from most of of our others so far. With the help of our friend Lin we have decided to take a world renowned character from Swedish culture and break down what her story really is. Sit back with Chris, Bobby, and Lin as they talk about Pippi Langstrumpf (Longstocking!) and hash out where her Pirate King Father is and how she could possibly lift a horse.

Chris and Bobby bring you a slightly belated, slightly spooky second Halloween special for the year. We return to our always reliable Dr. Seuss with a not-so-well known story full of brand new, spooky nonsense.

Even if you've never read "The Rainbow Fish" before, you surely remember the beautiful water color illustrations by Marcus Pfister. The story is about the finer points of underwater society, how to make friends, and why you should literally give pieces of your body away to strangers so that they'll like you. Makes sense, right? WRONG! Click the play button to see what we can do about all this nonsense.
