• BGB club: cats, jokes, and "The C Song"
    Jun 24 2024

    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)!
