Ep. 62 - Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure & Stanley’s Christmas Adventure

Explicit content warning

12/14/24 • 54 min

This morning’s episode Anna and Austin review and discuss the 1964 children’s chapter book Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure and Stanley's Christmas Adventure. When Stanley Lambchop wakes up one morning, his brother, Arthur, is yelling. A bulletin board fell on Stanley during the night, and now he is only half an inch thick! Amazing things begin happening to him. Stanley gets rolled up, mailed, and flown like a kite. He even gets to help catch two dangerous art thieves. He may be flat, but he's a hero. AND. Santa Claus is not his usual, jolly self. In fact, he's in a terrible mood. He doesn't believe that children appreciate Christmas anymore. This year, he has decided that he is not going to deliver any Christmas presents! Luckily, his daughter, Sarah Claus, knows who to call for help. The Lambchop family! But can they convince Santa that there are still good children in the world? Just leave it up to Stanley.

Ep. 61 - The Girl Who Saved Christmas

This morning’s episode Anna and Austin review and discuss the 2016 Children’s Christmas fantasy novel, The Girl Who Saved Christmas by Matt Haig. If magic has a beginning, can it also have an end? When Amelia wants a wish to come true she knows just the man to ask - Father Christmas. But the magic she wants to believe in is starting to fade, and Father Christmas has more than impossible wishes to worry about. Upset elves, reindeers dropping out of the sky, angry trolls and the chance that Christmas might be cancelled. But Amelia isn't just any ordinary girl. And - as Father Christmas is going to find out - if Christmas is going to be saved, he might not be able to do it alone . . .
