On this kid lit podcast episode of StoryMakers, author and Project Manager of Multicultural Children’s Book Day, Becky Flansburg teaches Rocco what it means to go tiny! Does it involve a shrink-ray?! Nope. In real life, like in Becky’s book SISSY GOES TINY, downsizing, repurposing, and “living tiny” mean thinking sustainably and doing more with less. Listen to learn more about this BIG idea. Watch StoryMakers with Becky Flansburg!ABOUT the BookA diverse picture book about a family that chooses to live Tiny and do More with Less. Eight-year-old Sissy loves her life. She loves her toys, her Big house, and her Big backyard. But when Sissy’s parents decide they are going to live in a Tiny House on wheels and travel around the U.S., Sissy isn’t sure that she will like the idea of “living tiny.” But as she and her mommy and daddy learn about downsizing, repurposing, and how “stuff is just stuff” in a positive way, Sissy soon understands that living Tiny has BIG possibilities; possibilities for all sorts of adventures and learning.ABOUT BeckyMy name is Becky Flansburg (a.k.a Franticmommy) and I am a full-time freelance writer, accountability coach, home business consultant and project manager.

One Sentence Summary Anderson starts with the one sentence recap of how our trio of protagonists are studying and then come across something that surprises them. What Do the Tiny Potters Think? Addison and Anderson relate to this because both of them have been busy with studying for the standardized tests at their schools when they recorded this episode.  Addison and Anderson discuss the value, or lack thereof, of homework and the importance of recess. When Harry, Hermione, and Ron visit Hagrid’s the Tiny Potters share their concerns about not only how Hagrid obtained his newest pet, a dragon, but only the perils he may face. This segues into a discussion about the fact that when one of the heroes is injured, Madam Pomfrey doesn’t use common sense, the prevailing theme of this chapter when taking care of her charges. One of the best, unexplored, ideas for a dragon is introduced by Addison.  Can you say, Ice Cream Breathing DRAGON!? Malfoy tattles on the trio and Hagrid for poor Norbert, but the Tiny Potters recognize that he is doing the right thing, but for the wrong reason and explain their feelings on that. After recapping that common sense should prevail and all the main characters should use their brain, they go into MOMMY POP QUIZ, sponsored by Audible. Go to http://www.audibletrial.com/tinypotters and sign up for your FREE trial.  So many great books to listen to and if you don’t like it, you can exchange it with their return policy! Questions Mommy Pop Quiz asks include: Once Hermione, Ron, and Harry find out about Hagrid’s dragon, what should they have done? How does the motivation we have behind decisions impact our actions? For an update on the personal lives of the Tiny Potters, we find out Addison has earned another Girl Scout badge and Anderson has been placed on a special team at his Karate Dojo and been given a promotion to become a Junior Leader. Thank you for listening episode 15 the Tiny Potters, as we have discussed Chapter 14 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Thank you to GEICO for not sponsoring this episode but more thanks to Audible for actually sponsoring it. And of course, THANK YOU to our listeners.  We’re back and we’ll be finishing up book one each week from here on out on time, with plenty of time to be ready to start book 2, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when the new Hogwarts year starts. Stay magical! The post Tiny Potters Discuss Chapter 14 Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone appeared first on My podcast website....moreCopy Link
