A throwback episode to last summer when Eliot and Jess recorded another chunk of The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown. Nope, we still didn't make it to the end of the book, but getting closer! Enjoy the river sounds and Eliot's ASMR stylings.
The podcast's greatest fan, Sydney, joins us to read The Vanderbeekers of 141st St by Karina Yan Glaser. Eliot (14), Syndey (9 in 168 hours), and Jess (old) read the first three chapters of the first book in the series and offer suggestions for listeners to draw.
Peter Brown's Wild Robot adventures continue while Eliot eats watermelon.
More bubble tea and Wild Robot with Jess & Eliot. Enjoy the many voices of Eliot while Jess makes dinner.
A sneak peek of book 2 by Peter Brown
Eliot and Jess make blueberry muffins and finally read the ending of The Wild Robot. Tap interludes and ASMR breaks. Enjoy!
Eliot and Jess slurping boba and mashing guacamole while reading a few chapters of Wild Robot. Enjoy the new tap intro and outro, debuting in this episode! We will be back in a few days!
Eliot, now age 13, and Jess return at long last to finish The Wild Robot. Well, we will record one or two more episodes to reach the very end of the book, but first we need a non-dog-destroyed copy!
The last part, bring your tissues!

More adventures, and bread!
The first installment! For Eliot!

Eliot is back with an extra long episode of The Wild Robot! Enjoy!
Read my 11 year old super reader and artist, Eliot!
A very magical and slightly disturbing tale with guest niece Eliot.
Special reader Eliot treats you to Chapters 5&6
Chapters 3-4 read by Jess with insights from Eliot, who is the same age as Ramona in this tome
Jess and special niece guest Eliot are here with a new Ramona book by the great Beverly Cleary. Lots of laughter and some drawing recommendations.
Watch out for the twist and turns at the end of the book- maybe you won't be caught off guard as I was! Stay tuned for a less scary read next time!
More terrifying and disgusting adventures of Alfie and his crew. Seriously, this is gross and nightmare-producing.
Welcome to the 2nd season of Playdates with Jess! This season we come to you from the hammock, hanging in different summer spots nearby. This new book Demon Dentist, by David Walliams is NOT for the faint of heart. There was NO WAY to make it less gross or scary, so listen at your own risk. Enjoy the contributions of guest niece podcaster Eliot.
Phew! It's finally done! This episode is VERY long because it is the whole rest of the Anybodies by N.E. Bode. Enjoy the musical intro by Jennie and outro by Sam and Charlie
Our adventures with Fern continue!
Continue our journey with Fern as she discovers much more about who she is and the world full of things that are decidedly NOT as they seem. Send me a video of you practicing winking. You'll never know when you'll need to wink at an Anybody.
The Anybodies is a book about two children who were switched at birth and are just about to meet their true parents. Fern is a spunky, creative kid who never did match her boring parents. If you like books with bit of magic, I think you'll love this book.
