This episode will read Hudi and Tux: Adventures in Pet Learning with Andrew Waner III.

✅ ABOUT THE STORY:

Did you get the little ones a puppy for Christmas? Give them this book too! 

Hudi and Tux: Adventures in Pet Learning. This comical book follows a boy who adopts a puppy for his birthday. He must learn responsibility for the puppy and properly care for it to ensure it grows up to be a good dog. The first book teaches Hudi how to feed Tux the correct amount, but chaos ensues when he doesn't know how to do that. Building healthy relationships between kids and dogs is important for a happy family. 

✅ ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

There are tons of books on dog training for adults but not one written for kids. Author Andrew Waner III saw this big need and inspired writing the series Hudi and Tux: Adventures in Pet Learning. "I want to help children understand the responsibility of caring for pets. This also teaches them how easy it is to make a mistake, learn from it, and fix it; they will build confidence and process learning. The second part of the book is to help dogs and animals in shelters. They need supplies, food and even peanut butter. (Dogs love peanut butter.) They need help with adoptions and things like that. My goal is to help with sales of the book to help be able to give supplies to shelters around Louisville, Kentucky, to give them anything that they may need in these hard times."

In this episode, we will read The Square Root of Possible with Lyn Sisson-Talbert, one of the most accomplished female producers in Hollywood.

✅ ABOUT THE SQUARE ROOT OF POSSIBLE: A JINGLE JANGLE STORY

A charming picture book story based on the Netflix holiday film Jingle Jangle, starring Phylicia Rashad, Forrest Whitaker, Anika Noni Rose, Keegan Michael Key, and newcomer Madalen Mills, about an eccentric toymaker, his adventurous granddaughter, and a magical invention, that if they can get it to work in time for the holidays, could change their lives forever

A heartwarming picture book story based on the song “The Square Root of Possible” from the Netflix holiday film Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey! A holiday tale set in the snow-covered town of Cobbleton, Jingle Jangle follows eccentric toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when a betrayal by a former protégé (Keegan-Michael Key) leaves Jeronicus withdrawn and down on his luck, it’s up to his bright and adventurous granddaughter, Journey (newcomer Madalen Mills) — and a singularly magical invention — to save the day. From the imagination of writer/director David E. Talbert and featuring original music by John Legend, Philip Lawrence, and Davy Nathan, Jingle Jangle reminds you that anything is possible…if you believe.

This episode will read "Twin Tales: Alike and Different" by

 Brielle Dupervil & Nadia Dupervil.

✅ ABOUT THE STORY:

Imagine having someone that is just like you in the world. Or what if there were not just like you, but everyone thought they were? Twin sisters Alexia and Denise might look alike on the outside, but they are very different on the inside. Join the sisters as they reveal what makes them unique. An enduring story of siblings who share a strong bond that parents will appreciate and children will love.

Twin Tales: Alike and Different is a delightful story written by twins Brielle and Nadia Dupervil. In this episode, mom Brandi shares what sparked the two girls to start the book at age 4. "They like to read probably like three or four books a night. After hearing us talk about writing and reading books pretty regularly, they asked about writing their own. That is where the Twin Tales concept was birthed."

✅ ABOUT THE AUTHORS                 

Brielle and Nadia Dupervil are not just twins but also best friends. Their love for reading inspired them to write their own book at just 4 years old. 

Brielle has a bold and bubbly personality and never meets a stranger. You can call her the life of the party because there is never a dull moment when she is around. Brielle is a curious conversationalist who will talk to anyone who will listen. 

Nadia is a soft-spoken, articulate, gentle spirit. Initially, she is reserved, but once comfortable, she will win you over with her contagious laughter and the silly jokes she keeps in her back pocket for the right time. Nadia is caring and always does what she can to help others feel better. She is very in tune with her emotions and very direct when expressing them.
