Creepy Crayon!

So many requests from listeners lately! This time, Shepherd’s mommy requested a story from the “If You Give a Mouse…” series. Eliana had not read this one yet, so she was excited as well!  Written by Laura Numeroff, Illustrated by Felicia Bond Send us a voice message or request at ⁠Epic Stories with Eliana

Eliana missed her dog, Danny, more than usual the past week or two. We decided to read a dog book that is a little bit silly to remember him.  Written by Dav Pilkey Send us a voice message or request at ⁠Epic Stories with Eliana

Eliana is a bit of a ballet kid, maybe just dance in general. She enjoyed the story Sofia requested quite a bit. It also made James do some research on how to pronounce some of the French ballet terms. We hope you enjoy it, Sofia!

A special request today from inside Eliana and James’s house in this episode from MOMMY! She requested that not only we read the story about Pigeon going to school, but also for Eliana to read it and show off her reading skills. Eliana is a lot like Pigeon starting school this year with all the feelings that come along with that. Written by Mo Willems Send us a voice message or request at ⁠Epic Stories with Eliana

While we have read a Jake and the Neverland Pirates story on the podcast, we haven’t read the actual Peter Pan story. Some of the terms are a bit dated, but it is still a fun story of fantasy, pixie dust, sword fights, and pirates.

Eliana still loves everything Halloween. We found a kid-friendly scary story with a bunny and a crayon who can help him get good grades on all his projects. Why is that so creepy??

With grandma and grandpa visiting us last week, Eliana really wanted to read a book about grandparents. Interestingly enough, this is the same illustrator as the Fourth of July Mice!

To wrap up the rhyming week of stories, James and Eliana read the firs in the Llama Llama series. If you liked this one, there are so many more to enjoy.
