  • Ice Hockey

    I'm not sure if hockey is played in the warmer climates, around the Equator specifically, but I do know that you get in the colder latitudes, hockey is very common. Once the autumn season hits, it's football but once winter hits, it's hockey time. So in honor of hockey season, today, we will read the story “Ice Hockey” from the book “Winter Sports in Switzerland” written by E.F. Benson.

  • Thomas Alva Edison

    Thomas Edison and electricity go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. I wonder if he ate peanut butter and jellys? Anyway, in today's episode, we read a short biography about Mr. Edison with the story titled “Thomas Alva Edison” from the book “The Child's Book of American Biography” written by Mary Stoyell Stimpson.

  • Guys and Goats

    Remember, remember the 5th of November. Why, that's today! I always remember the 5th of November. Also, watch out for trolls under the bridge! Today, we have a double feature. The first story is about Guy Fawkes, who was one of the men who was found to be a conspirator in the Gunpowder Treason and plot. Then, after that we read about “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.” The two books used were “True Stories of Wonderful Deeds” and “East of the Sun and West of the Moon,” respectively.

  • In Squirrel Town

    Sometime, to know where you are going, you need to look where you came from. That's true with today's story. It's kind of a continuation of the last episode but not, since instead of going forward with the story, we actually head back to the beginning. Today, we read the story “In Squirrel Town” which comes to us from the book “Hazel Squirrel and Other Stories” written by Howard B. Famous.

  • Mrs. Screech Owl

    We looked for Great Horned Owls...we didn't see any. We looked for Screech Owls...we saw one. This was our second year in a row doing the Owl Prowl at the park and again, the Screech Owl made it a successful trip. So today, we read the story “Mrs. Screech Owl” which comes to us from the book “Hazel Squirrel and Other Stories” written by Howard B. Famous.

  • When Old Mr. Badger Learned to Stay at Home

    I have lived in Michigan my whole life. When it comes to college football and the choice of Michigan or Michigan State, I choose Michigan. However, I really have no allegiance to any Big 10 school so if someone gives me a University of Wisconsin hoodie, I'm going to for sure wear it. If you aren't familiar, the mascot for the University of Wisconsin is the Badger. So today, we read the story “When Old Mr. Badger Learned to Stay at Home.” It comes to us from the book “Mother West Wind “When” Stories” written by Thornton W. Burgess.

  • The Master Cat, or Puss in Boots

    I would like to see a cat walk around in boots. I know of the cats that I have had in my lifetime, if we ever put any little booties on their feet for whatever reason, they would walk around and try to shake them off all the time. So to see a cat walk around in leather boots, would be a grand sight. Anyway, today, we read the story “The Master Cat, or Puss in Boots” which comes to us from Charles Perrault and his book “The Tales of Mother Goose.”

  • Electric Tramways Generally

    If you travel down the road from my house, and you keep a sharp eye out, you might see two old trolley cars sitting next to a pole barn about 100 feet off the road. I have no idea what they person has in store for these cars but hopefully, they don't just sit there and rot. Anyway, today, we get a little historical about streetcars with the story “Electric Tramways Generally” from the book “Tube, Train, Tram, and Car” written by Arthur Beavan.

  • A Journal of the Plague Year

    What are you going to be for Halloween this year? John wanted to be a plague doctor, but unfortunately we couldn't find a mask to fit him. So, of course, after he decided that, I had to find a plague story. So today, we read the story “A Journal of the Plague Year” written by Daniel Defoe. This comes to us from the book “The World's Greatest Books, Volume 20, Miscellaneous Literature.”

  • For the Honor of the Tribe

    Today, we continue on with “The Boys Scouts of Woodcraft Camp” written by Thornton W. Burgess. John has really liked these stories so far and I would say that I have as well. I was never a Boy Scout but I knew a lot of my friends who were and now, as my friend's kids are growing up, their kids are getting involved in Boy Scouts. Anyway, in today's story, we see what happens in the end of summer races and we get to see which tribe of boys wins “For the Honor of the Tribe.”
