  • We Read Johnny and the Bomb

    We Read Johnny and the Bomb
    Apr 19 2026

    Eleanor and Alasdair step into the trousers of time, with Terry Pratchett's 1996 novel Johnny and the Bomb. Five inept British teens find themselves in World War Two with bags of time on their hands.

    Was Johnny and the Bomb "The Bomb"? Or will it bomb in our estimation? And who were the real baddies in WW2?

    (It was the Nazis.)

  • We Read The Cat in the Hat & The Tiger Who Came to Tea

    We Read The Cat in the Hat & The Tiger Who Came to Tea
    Mar 19 2026

    1957–1968 was a golden age of big cats breaking into kids' houses and smashing up the joint. For this episode, Eleanor & Alasdair read Dr Seuss's The Cat in the Hat and Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came to Tea. We aim to decide, scientifically, which of the two books is best (with absolutely no favouritism shown towards the one we obviously like more).

    Will we like the American one?

    Perhaps we'll find it much more fun?

    Of course, there's not much chance of that.

    'Cos Eleanor hates that creepy cat.

  • We Read The Wind in the Willows

    We Read The Wind in the Willows
    Feb 19 2026

    Eleanor and Alasdair are fighting! Eleanor is in love with Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, but for Alasdair... it's complicated. The 1908 classic is a tale of motorcars, misadventure and yearning glances on the riverbank. But is it really a kid's book? Or is it a boring work of art?

    Poop! Poop!
