Here is an episode from our friends over at Newsy Pooloozi, a news pod for kids and curious adults!
A story brought to you by our friends over at The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland! Thank you for tuning in to a special, bedtime-friendly bonus episode of The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland about falling in love with the sea! This is a story about a sweet puppy named Taffy. She lives on a planet of dogs and other friendly creatures called Dogland. We have sometimes referred to her as the bravest dog in all of Dogland, but a quality she has that we really admire is her curiosity. For this young pup who sat by the sea and who wondered — and for other puppies who wonder — What sea stories are yet to be told? We explain what “zoomies” are, how water travels through the world to become part of the ocean, what is left when you dry out ocean water, and what salt and lime crystals look like under a microscope. This story is inspired by the first part of a short and lovely book in the public domain called Sea Stories for Wonder Eyes by Mary Earle Hardy. We end the episode with a solid five minutes of ocean waves gently splashing on soft, silky sand. Thank you to Orange Free Sounds, who provide a robust library of music and sound effects for others to use. You can find out more about the doggies of Dogland here:https://linktr.ee/powerdogadventures

A story brought to you by our friends over at Dorktales Storytime Podcast
The Princess and the Pincushion
By Amy Thompson and Edited by Molly Murphy
The lonely Prince is fed up with the Queen and her court! Their snobby standards are keeping him from finding someone who cares about connection over social status. Enter Wilhemina, the rain-soaked and mud-covered girl who makes a mess of a first impression, but ultimately proves that true friendship is more than a popularity contest.
WHAT THIS RETELLING IS ABOUT: This story is about friendship and making connections with the people who see you and appreciate you for who you are. There is an opportunity for great conversations about popularity and how it feels to be excluded.

Geppetto always wanted a child of his own, so when he found a magical talking log, he decided to make his dream come true. He chiseled away and lo and behold, his child came to life! But he got two things wrong. Pinocchio wasn't a girl and he didn't want to be made of wood. Run along with Pinocchio as he sings for an adoring audience, celebrates his birthday everyday on Toyland, leads an army of kid donkeys, gets sucked into the belly of an enormous whale, and with the help of his friend Blue Fairy, discovers the love he and his Dad share. Based on the Italian children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, this story of a transgender boy will be sure to warm your heart.
