After last week's seafaring cat and crab tale, we just had to dive right in and explore some purrfectly fantastic facts about cats! We also share a new song, some funny (and punny) jokes, and a seaside Silly Story.

We are on a midseason summer break after next week. We'll return on Monday, August 5th with a brand new summertime story as we head into the second half of season two!


Next week, we'll share a special re-recorded and extended version of one of our most-loved summer stories: "The Lemon Yellow Kite". This version won't have any intro or after show chat - just straight to the relaxing story and music (perfect for rest after a busy summer day)!

Let's head to the Sweet Creek Kingdom for a buzzy little tale! On this springtime day, the poppy patch is bustling with excited bumblebees. They're all looking forward to a fun race with the fairies - all, that is, except for one bumblebee named Bonnie. Bonnie would rather not race at all!

This story features acoustic guitar, mandolin, and chimes. Tune in next week as we expand on this story in our Big Giant Book Club episode!
