Kids Listen Sweeps: Celebrate National Poetry Month!

How do you handle a bully? What do you do when someone body shames you? Our heroine turns to poetry in this week’s book Starfish by Lisa Fipps. Readers from Columbia Heights Educational Campus in Washington, DC offer their own insights on why people pick on each other and ask writer Lisa Fipps what she does to tackle writers block. Our celebrity reader is NPR favorite, comedienne Ophira Eisenberg. Kitty Felde is host.

This week, to celebrate Poetry Month, Queenie asks Little Dazzy Donuts for help in writing a poem, and learns all about how to choose a topic for a poem, how to think before writing, how to come up with fun last lines, and ways of writing rhyming and non-rhyming poetry. Along the way, they re-listen to some of their favorite poems from past competitions, including poems from Ananya, Emily, Masie, and Niah.We love hearing from you! To send your poems and drawings into Kids' Poetry Club, just check out the full competition details on the website.To contact us for any reason, just drop an email to contact@kidspoetryclub.com. Thank you so much for being a part of Kids' Poetry Club!...moreCopy Link

This season finale is filled with poems about space. The trombone bits are also about space. The whole thing is packed with poems and, well, space! That's because for this episode we collaborated with some amazing creatives that inspired us: Astrophysicist Sean Raymond who wrote the book 'Blackholes Stars Earth and Mars', Illustrated by his son Owen (who was kind enough to make this cover for us too). We highly recommend this book! Here's a link to it: https://www.amazon.com/Black-Holes-Stars-Earth-Mars/dp/B08LFZZWGZ And our Kids Listen friend Darren Short of Kids Poetry Club. The kid poets heard in this episode are the winners of his 'Space and the Sky' contest.

“What problems, what forces Against us shall bide While the stars in their courses Do fight on our side?” Adapted from Rudyard Kipling’s The Astrologer’s Song, this episode uses epic poetry to visit a dream state before Power Dog goes on to the next leg of his journey in our unfolding epic tale of tails for season two.  We strongly believe in the power of poetry! If you’d like to read more about why it is so important for students, then we highly recommend reading this article from Edutopia: https://www.edutopia.org/blog/five-reasons-poetry-needed-schools-elena-aguilar. Art is the crucial language of emotion, and poetry refines our language. Poetry is music, and poetry is therapy. Poetry is joy, and poetry can be a righteous rage. It can teach social-emotional learning and help us find better ways to understand ourselves and others. If you love this episode, and it leaves you hungry for more great poetry for kids, we highly recommend checking out our friends and fellow Kids Listen member shows Buttons & Figs, Kids Poetry Club, and Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater- a musical story podcast with wonderful poetry and poetic language stitched into the music and dialog. If you're completely new to our story, please go find episode 1, called "S1E1 | START HERE! | Power Dog Goes To College" as this is a serial story adventure that unfolds throughout each season.

He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. They are both poets! Our song that plays at the end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!” It started as poetry.

We are continuing our break from our regular, ongoing story while we celebrate Solstice, Christmas, and the New Year here on Planet Earth. We’re so happy we can share this special winter bonus episode with y'all! It’s a little different, and we threw it together rather quickly after the story just poured out of Hank one morning on the way to school. Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com. We sourced nearly 30 fun sounds from their site! Colin Laurel illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick. Our song that plays at the very end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!” If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful!

The first night of Hanukkah is almost here and Mimi has a mountain of sufganiyot (jelly donuts) to share with Kiddo and the answers to all of his Hanukkah questions: why does Mimi make stir fry and latkes during Hanukkah? What's the story of Hanukkah? What was the miracle of Hanukkah?  Learn along with Kiddo -- and find your own candle-lighting guide, Hanukkah blessings, recipes and activities at pjlibrary.org/hanukkah.

In this episode, we dive into the world of rats. Sure, they can crawl up sewer pipes into your toilet and may have been at least partly responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of Europeans. But - they're also really smart, feel regret, and can show emotion with their ears.  This is a special episode. In our first half, we share cool rat facts. And in the second half, we interview Professor Monica Green, who studies plague. We learned so much from her about plague, how it was spread, and even that it is still around today.  We couldn't fit our whole interview with Professor Green into this episode, so we're including a longer interview on our feed. You should see it right behind this one.  Thanks to our Patreon sponsor Henry for getting us excited about rats!

Thank you for tuning in to our spooktacular Howloween special!  It’s a fun, exciting, and magical tale of tails- about a pair of young raccoon-type twin dogs living on Dogland. Although the story has some mild suspense and Halloween-adjacent fun, it is mostly fun and silly and meant to delight young listeners (age 4+) and old. It will lift your spirits and give 'em pumpkin to talk about! We wrote the song that plays at the end of our episodes along with Hank’s Granny,  aka Jean Murphy! The song is called “Howl-o-ween!” We took story inspiration from A Tale for Halloween by Loretta Ellen Brady from the collection, The Green Forest Fairy Book (1920.) Special thanks to our creative partner Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. This episode featured a bit of Jason's Howl-o-ween version of a family favorite song, In the Hall of Mountain King by Grieg, who hated the song and wrote it to be a parody of the music of the time that he disliked. We love all of Peer Gynt and encourage you to check it out! This episode's cover art is made by Hank using Canva! If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

It’s aliiiive!! Deep in the Foreshadow, the ever-dark lands of Once Upon a Time, lived Hogenstein, the infamous warthog scientist who invented “It’s Alive No. 5!” Using this freaky formula, a lightning rod and a fierce thunderstorm, he and his loyal lab assistant, Lugo the bat, brought a super creature to life. Muahahaha! But wait…that’s not what’s so terrifying about this tale—the scariest part is when the creature goes out into the world alone to face his fears.PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is our reimagining of the classic, “Frankenstein,” where facing one’s fears is scarier than a spooky story. In our version, the creature goes out into the world on his own, tries things he has never tried before, and has the courage to never give up. He kept trying his best, even when the townspeople judged him before he had the chance to show them his big heart. Go to the episode webpage: https://jonincharacter.com/hogenstein-a-halloween-tale/ For more Halloween listening, try Sleepy Hallow’s Eve: https://jonincharacter.com/sleepy-hallows-eve/ FREE DORKTALES+ portal for access to use-your-imagination activities, cool conversation starters, social-emotional guides, themed playlists and more! jonincharacter.com/portalVisit the Dorktales Storytime Podcast website: https://jonincharacter.com/dorktales-storytime-podcast/FOLLOW US: Please follow us so future episodes will automatically show up in your podcast library.

I love when phonological exercises extend into making the world a nicer place. ✪ This week's Echo Song is the 4th installment of our annual homage to the art of the homemade costume, "I Made a Costume pt.4."  "A big cardboard box / wrapped around me / two tiny hats / I'm a battery."  Happy Halloween! ✪ And we close the episode with a Guided Doodle where listeners are invited to participate in drawing a mystery drawing.  You will need something with which to draw and something on which to draw upon.  Like pencil and paper for example.  Share your drawings by tagging @noodleloafshow wherever you like to tag stuff. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!  It's like a music lesson for kids that occasionally involves drawing pictures. ✪✪✪ I have written three pictures books celebrating families.

Fina Mendoza, the ten-year-old daughter of a congressman from California, solves mysteries on Capitol Hill. Fina has a new mystery on her hands. Her entire fourth grade is competing with fifth graders in a reading competition to see who can read the most pages. The prize: free pizza. Unfortunately, her class loses the contest. But pizza mysteriously appears anyway at the front door of all the fourth graders. How did that happen? Meanwhile, Fina’s father and the parents of nearly everybody else in her class is working in the U.S. Capitol on January 6th to certify the election results. News of the insurrection reaches Fina and her classmates in the middle of a geography lesson. Fina’s father, Congressman Arturo Mendoza, arrives home safe and sound and tries to explain why people were angry, comparing it to the anger Fina herself felt when her beloved Dodgers discovered that the Houston Astros were cheating by stealing pitching signs. In class the next day, students discuss the events of January 6th and also the mysterious pizza delivery. They talk about the role of losing in a democracy, how John Adams was angry that he lost his election, and how he stayed angry for many years with the man who won, Thomas Jefferson. Fina solves the pizza mystery with the help of her clarinet-playing sister Gabby and the congressional dog she walks named Senator Something. Fina also suggests that 4th graders can be gracious losers by writing letters to the 5th grade, the way Adams and Jefferson did, becoming perhaps not friends, but at least opening a door to reconciliation....moreCopy Link

Fina Mendoza has a mystery to solve: who sent her classmates pizza? Her teacher has a challenge of her own: how to teach her 4th grade students about the attack on the U.S. Capitol. She looks to John Adams for inspiration. Free curriculum available at the website finamendozamysteries.com

Ever since she was a little girl, Gia Mar Ramos had an interest in computer science and technology, but as she got older she noticed something: there were very few girls in her technology classes… so Gia decided to do something about that. The summer before high school she started a non-profit organization called Girl Innovation (https://www.girlinnovation.net/) dedicated to closing the gender gap in computing and technology. She does this by educating middle school girls about computer science on her home island of Puerto Rico....moreCopy Link

While studying abroad in Japan, 16-year-old Luna Abadia saw the effects of climate change first-hand. Typhoons were getting stronger, snow becoming rarer, and traditional crops were no longer able to grow. This inspired Luna to act. She entered a speech competition and wrote about the importance of combating climate change. Her speech got a lot of attention and Luna became a national finalist. Realizing the power her voice could have, when Luna returned home to Oregon, she founded the Effective Climate Action Project (https://www.effectiveclimateaction.org/) or ECAP for short - a youth-led organization working to increase awareness of effective solutions to climate change....moreCopy Link

Let’s take another look at families. Last week we spoke about divorce, what it’s like for a parent to not be present in a kid’s life at all, and how that feels. This week we are going to talk about what it’s like when a parent is present, but maybe that presence is inconsistent. Melissa is 16 years old. Her parents separated when she was barely 5. She lived mainly with her mother, and although her father was present in her life, it was never consistent. Today, she talks about how that affected her, and what she learned in the process. We Got You is a podcast that gives a voice to every kid out there who doesn’t have anyone to go to, with advice straight from teens who've been there before. Doesn't feel right to start a big conversation with your friends? Not the right time to take it to your older siblings or parents? We got you. Hosted by Samantha Logan (Netflix's 13 Reasons Why; Netflix’s All American, Freeform's The Fosters), We Got You is a weekly advice podcast where teens answer the biggest questions from middle schoolers across the country on life, loneliness and an uncertain future. Don’t sleep on the ultimate coming of age companion for navigating the chaos of the 21st Century. Listen, subscribe and survive today.

In this episode of our cultural adventure series, Isa meets a mysterious little round creature in this homage to the Mexican folk character: the Cholito de la Suerte. This story is based on el Cholito de la Suerte, a folk creature from Hidalgo, Mexico. According to popular culture, this creature appears only to girls and if he is found, you should take him, clean him, feed him, and protect him. In return, he will give you money every morning for the rest of your life…..if he remains a secret.  If not, the Cholito and your new fortune will disappear at once. This podcast was produced by Studio Ochenta for TRAX on PRX and is hosted by Kelly Marie Tran. Isa was voiced by Daisy Guevara. Dali was voiced by Lisha López.

In this episode of our cultural adventure series, Juan visits his family in Puerto Rico and loses a very valuable watch in this homage to the classic Puerto Rican folk character: Juan Bobo. This story is inspired by Juan Bobo, a Puerto Rican folk character.

This podcast was produced by Studio Ochenta for TRAX on PRX. Juan was voiced by Claudio Venancio. Alberto was voiced by Víctor Emmanuelle Ramos. Aunt Linda was voiced by Alondra Llompart. Carmen was voiced by Natasha Yannacañedo. Don León was voiced by Israel Tanenbaum.

“What problems, what forces Against us shall bide While the stars in their courses Do fight on our side?” Adapted from Rudyard Kipling’s The Astrologer’s Song, this episode uses epic poetry to visit a dream state before Power Dog goes on to the next leg of his journey in our unfolding epic tale of tails for season two.  We strongly believe in the power of poetry! If you’d like to read more about why it is so important for students, then we highly recommend reading this article from Edutopia: https://www.edutopia.org/blog/five-reasons-poetry-needed-schools-elena-aguilar. Art is the crucial language of emotion, and poetry refines our language. Poetry is music, and poetry is therapy. Poetry is joy, and poetry can be a righteous rage. It can teach social-emotional learning and help us find better ways to understand ourselves and others. If you love this episode, and it leaves you hungry for more great poetry for kids, we highly recommend checking out our friends and fellow Kids Listen member shows Buttons & Figs, Kids Poetry Club, and Mary Farfisa’s Outer Space Radio Theater- a musical story podcast with wonderful poetry and poetic language stitched into the music and dialog. If you're completely new to our story, please go find episode 1, called "S1E1 | START HERE! | Power Dog Goes To College" as this is a serial story adventure that unfolds throughout each season. Special thanks to Jason Roark, our creative partner and ultimate Renaissance Bunny Supreme! He records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our opening theme song, which is sung & performed by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. They are both poets! Our song that plays at the end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!” It started as poetry. Colin Laurel illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick. Creating it was visualizing poetry.

We asked Adrian Miller (A.K.A. The Soul Food Scholar) what is the most important and iconic soul food dish and his answer was: greens! Delicious, nutritious, and deeply steeped in history, we all agree that you’ve got to eat your greens. In addition to coming back to a conversation with Adrian Miller, Hannah and Harry are lucky enough to bring back one of our most beloved guests; Germaine Jenkins of Fresh Future Farm. As we look back on Black History Month it’s a great time to reflect and celebrate the many cultures and cuisines that our friends and neighbors of African descent can share. However, one month a year is truly not enough time to learn about and honor Black culture in America. So regardless of the time of year, let’s remember to be curious and open about our own history and the stories of folks around us. Stay tuned as we have another episode celebrating Black History Month coming up soon! If you’d like to hear your voice on the show, ask a grownup to help you record yourself using the voice memo app on an iPhone and email your questions, jokes, and recipes to timeforlunchpodcast@gmail.com. Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network, support Time For Lunch by becoming a member!Find us on Instagram @timeforlunchpodcast!For our dance break this episode, we used the beautiful version of the song Morrisson's jig - Leslie's march by Aislinn.

We are continuing our break from our regular, ongoing story while we celebrate Solstice, Christmas, and the New Year here on Planet Earth. We’re so happy we can share this special winter bonus episode with y'all! It’s a little different, and we threw it together rather quickly after the story just poured out of Hank one morning on the way to school. Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com. We sourced nearly 30 fun sounds from their site! Colin Laurel illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick. Our song that plays at the very end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!” If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation. You can find out more and send us dog jokes at www.powerdogadventures.com This podcast was made possible, in part, by a grant from The Regional Arts & Culture Council in Portland, OR.

Phoebe and Hank have a few silly jokes to share, followed by a replay of our Winter Howliday tale- Go Tail it on the Mountain! We’re so happy we can share this special Winter Howliday episode with y'all! It’s a little different, as it’s not part of our serial, ongoing story. Join the dogs and Tick Tock Bunny as they celebrate their shortest days of the year together. We close out the episode with a very sweet Hanukkah song by one of our most favorite bands, Peanut Butter Jams. It’s called Chanukah Lights from their delightful Holiday Bops album. Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Colin Laurel illustrated our cover art, which was directed by Jen Wick. The cover art for this episode was made a little goofier by Mom Slice, using Canva. Our song that plays at the very end of this episode is a song we wrote along with Hank’s Granny & Gramps, aka Murphy & Marckx. It's called “Power Dog, He Won’t Give Up!” If you catch a moment, and can follow, rate, and/or review the show, we would be so grateful! It really helps get the word out for our small, indie, mom & pop & pup, family operation.

Today’s Episode is called “In the Window” it is Episode 35!   I am so excited because today I have a Hanukkah song for you that I get to sing with my dear 7 year old nephew Sander, one of my favorite kids in the whole wide world. Now, some of you might be wondering if he is the same Sander who helped a giant in the Episode 20, “Sander and the Lost Giant’. Well, yes, in fact, he is. Only he might have just met that giant in my imagination… but Sander does have a fuzzy funny little dog named Birdie. That part is absolutely real!   Now, this is one of my favorite times of the year. Yes, it is so dark because it is almost the solstice, the longest darkest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, but that is why, have you noticed, so many different cultures and religions celebrate the light that we people can bring to each other. One of those celebrations is Hanukkah, a festival of lights that people of the Jewish religion observe. Each night they light one more candle on the menorah. http://www.aprileight.com Choose your reward and support this show at http://www.patreon.com/aprileight http://www.instagram.com/aprileightsongsandstoriespodcast http://facebook.com/aprileight This song goes like this: In the window, where you can see the glow of my menorah on newly fallen snow, I will light you one little candle on this the first night of Hanukkah. And then we add a candle until there are eight. Are you ready? Here we go…. “In the Window” In the window where you can see the light of my menorah on newly fallen snow, I will send you one little candle on this the first night of Hanukkah. -- I’d like to thank my brother James for singing with us too, did you hear him? James has a wonderful band called Great Willow that lots of adults like. Maybe your folks would like his beautiful song, “Many Things”. Spring Sprang Sprong, I hoped you liked my song and, if you celebrate Hanukkah, I hope you enjoy it with your dearest ones. Come back soon and I’ll have a fairy story for you for the solstice and a Merry Christmas song too. Thank you for listening to the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast.

Featuring voices from the pod-o-sphere, including The Past & The Curious, Composer Dad, and What If World.

Happy April Fool’s Day! This year I pranked myself by skipping episode #189 and going straight from episode #188 to episode #190. Absent mindedness in episode numbering aside it was a pleasure to welcome Sonia De Los Santos to the Good Stuff Kids podcast. “Sonia was born with a smile on her face (that’s what her mom always says) and she can easily find the things in the world that bring her joy. On ¡Alegría!, a bilingual album for families, Sonia thought deeply about the elements of her life that bring her joy and tried to capture them in her songs to share with others as she believes that these days it is more important than ever to find reasons to smile and stay grateful.” Sonia taught me all about the Jarana – which you’ll need to hear her explain! Check out her song, ‘Los Pajaritos’ from her new album ‘Alegria!’ At the end of this episode. ...moreCopy Link

Why do we laugh? Why do you feel ticklish when someone tickles you? Why can't you tickle yourself? We learn about how humor develops with Gina Mireault of the Infant Laughter Project at Northern Vermont University.

We looked high and low for the information we needed to research our episode on unicorns. But try as we might, we could not find even basic facts like what unicorns eat, what the horn is for, and what their favorite jokes are.  Luckily, Professor Abacus P. Grumbler, resident What If World unicorn expert, was able to answer all our questions.  Special thanks to Prof. Abacus and Mr. Eric for this episode! And special thanks to Xia for the request.

I’m so excited to have a Halloween Story for you today called "The Which Witch and the Goblin", it is Episode 32! Story 1 : On Halloween night, all goblins gather at Great Goblin Hall to share their tales of the gobliny deeds they've done throughout the year. But Gilbert Goblin doesn't want to - it's too scary! Gilbert goes to the tricky Which Witch for advice. Will she and her cat Jinxy help him or trick him? A special Halloween story about following your heart and honoring your own voice. Web: aprileight.com Kids Listen: app.kidslisten.org Insta: instagram.com/aprileightsongsandstories Facebook: facebook.com/aprileight Get your Reward! patreon.com/aprileight Now some of my friends and fellow podcasters at Kids Listen are telling Halloween stories too --Just for kids like you! My pal David at Sparkle Stories is sharing a story all about the Teal Pumpkin Project and two best friends who love to go Trick or Treating together only one of them has a food allergy. What will they do? GO find out on the Sparkle Stories Podcast.  And a great place to listen to carefully curated podcast just for kids is on the Kids Listen app. Find it on iTunes. Hooray. Now for Today's Story:    The Which Witch was alone. Of course, that’s just the way she liked it. Ah, solitude. Time to think, time to experiment, time to reread her favorite book, Poisons, Potions, and Perceptions. She was alone for now, but someone was coming to find her. She could feel him on his way. Someone small. Someone confused and worried too. But isn’t that how almost everyone who came to visit the Which Witch felt? No one ever WANTED to visit the Which Witch, so when she did have a visitor, they were usually feeling pretty desperate.   For the Which Witch’s powers: her strength, her magic, her intelligence and her intuition were known far and wide. Everyone feared her, for the conjuring and trickery she could do was beyond the understanding of almost everyone - gnomes, fairies, woodland creatures, pixies and, of course, humans, – were all bedazzled and alarmed by her potent witchcrafting. And what folks don’t understand, well, it scares them sometimes, doesn’t it? Was she a good witch? Was she a bad witch? Who’s to say? She wasn’t called the Which Witch for nothing. You never knew which witch you’d get when you knocked upon her door, so few people ever did unless…   ...The Which Witch’s keen ears picked up the quietest little tap upon her door, so quiet that it sounded like the knock of someone who really didn’t want the witch to even hear it, so quiet was it that it made the Which Witch chuckled to herself. (CHUCKLE)   “I can hear you little goblin. Oh, I can hear you.”   Thank you for listening to the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast. For all things April Eight, please go to aprileight.com.

Story 2: A goblin, a witch, and a muddy white cat walk into a Goblin Gathering... A shy young goblin named Gilbert looks for help from the dreaded Which Witch and her cat Jinxy to speak before the Goblin Council at the Great Goblin Gathering on Halloween night. A delgithful  story for your kids at bath time, bedtime, car time, and family time.  Web: aprileight.com Kids Listen: app.kidslisten.org Insta: instagram.com/aprileightsongsandstories Facebook: facebook.com/aprileight Get your Reward! patreon.com/aprileight Here is an excerpt from today's story: “You must have been pretty desperate to come to my door,” said the Which Witch.  “What were you hoping I would do for you, Gilbert Goblin? Create a magical spell that would give you the courage to speak before the Great Goblin Gathering?” Gilbert nodded. For the great Goblin Gathering was a night when every goblin stood before the whole goblin assembly and bragged about all the gobliny things they have done over the course of a long year. But Gilbert, being a very shy, rather nervous little goblin, was terrified to even stand before the goblin hordes all alone, let alone brag about his deeds. The Which Witch tried to use her immense powers of imagination to imagine Gilbert standing in front of the hall, confidently boasting about all that he had done that year. Even she, the conjuror or conjurors, couldn’t see it. Well, not yet, anyway… Hmmmm…. “Tell me your goblin deeds, Gilbert,” the Which Witch said, “Let’s make a list. It will make it easier when it is your turn to speak at the Goblin Gathering. You’ll have all of the gobliny things you’ve done all year long practiced in your head. Go ahead, dear. Go ahead… what have you done? ” The Witch pulled a paper and a quill from her desk drawer, dipped it in blackberry ink and readied herself to take down Gilbert’s long list of Goblin deeds. “Um, OK. Um…. yesterday I, I, I, I  helped a snail across a busy road. And, uh, I um, I found a woman’s hat in the lane so I, well, I put it on her front porch so she would find it. Oh, and I, I, I, I closed someone’s mailbox when it was raining in on their letters. And I also, well, I carried a baby squirrel up into the tree when he fell out of his nest.” “Oh Gilbert!” moaned the Which Witch. “This is terrible! These are not goblin deeds! These are good deeds! What are you thinking?  You’ve been too kind, too helpful and too, thoughtful. This is dreadful! You are supposed to make things harder for others, not easier!!” she shook her head, “ What kind of goblin are you? Oh my oh my. The Goblin Council will not be happy.” The Which Witch shook her head in despair.  Thank you for listening.

I’m fairly certain your tiny people will not know the words ‘merchandise’ and ‘protagonist’. If they do, I am super impressed! Go to the new ‘Shop’ tab at http://www.littlestoriestinypeople.com or you can head over to my threadless store at http://littlestoriestinypeople.threadless.com to choose from two adorable designs. Little Hedgehog is BACK for a school’s out episode. Little Hedgehog has big plans for summer break and she leads her dad and Bebe on a ridiculous adventure. Enjoy! Also, Mr. Eric from What If World appears as MR. HEEDGEHOG! Do not even think about confusing him with a hedgehog. He has 2 E’s in his name and he is quite proud. You can hear me on the latest episode of What If World as I help Mr. Eric tell a very wacky story based on listeners’ ‘what if’ questions. Find What If World wherever you get your podcasts.
