The Fighting Moose

Walrus, Seals, and Manatees, oh my! Well, that is the majority of what today's story is about. We learn about 6 or 7 different seal species, walruses, sea otters, and manatees and we reference things about whales. This short story is just packed with trivia about these sea mammals and hopefully you learn some things. We read the story “The Mammals of the Sea” and it comes to us from the book “The Burgess Animal Book for Children” written by Thornton W. Burgess.

Spring is in the air! Or maybe summer, it was 91 degrees here yesterday! Either way, it is spring time for sure here in Michigan. The trees are popping out, flowers have already bloomed, and there are baby animals all over the place. We did see some little baby birds in a nest yesterday. I don't really know what species of birds they were but my guess is that they were Robins. So here we are with todays story, “The Robins Build a Nest” from the book “Among the Meadow People” written by Clara Dillingham Pierson.

What is a pirates favorite letter? R you say? Well that's a common misconception, it's actually the C! Haha! That's a great joke and I say it on a somewhat regular basis. However, I'm sure that pirates back in the day were no joke. Today, we learn about Blackbeard, probably the meanest and most feared pirate of his time. We read the story “The Great Blackbeard Comes Upon the Stage” from the book “Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts” written by Frank Richard Stockton.

While looking for a replacement chair to sit in while hunting, I came across a lot of baby chickens and ducks. Well, I had to tell my son about it and so we went back and he got to look at the baby birds. Of course he wanted to get some and have them roam around the back yard. I am waiting to hear back from the city we live in to see if this is allowed. So until I hear back from them, we will read the story “Where Mr. Quack Got His Webbed Feet” from the book “Mother West Wind 'Where' Stories” written by Thornton W. Burgess.

So, for the past few nights, I have been playing around in the airwaves with morse code. But, who invented morse code? Well, it was invented by a man named Samuel Morse. So today, we read the story “Prof. S.B.F. Morse” from the book “Hidden Treasures” written by Harry Lewis.

It's always sad when you can't do something that you have always been able to do. For example, if you break your thumb, you have a hard time opening a bottle of pop because you can't grip the top. Well what about if you never had the ability? In today's story, we read about “Why Peter Rabbit Cannot Fold His Arms.” This story comes to us from the book “Mother West Wind 'Why' Stories” written by Thornton W. Burgess.

Last night, we were watching a thunderstorm off to the North. We were driving and saw great, big streaks of lightning going across the sky and we didn't hear the thunder until we exited the vehicle as the thunder was just some slow rolling thunder, not big boomers. The sun had already set at this point which did not allow for the viewing of any rainbows as a result of the storm but watching that storm was pretty fun. Today's story is titled “The Rainbow, After the Thunder-storm” and was written by an Anonymous author.

I hate when I tell a joke and you hear “crickets.” Does that happen to you? Well, fortunately, I'm not telling any real jokes today. I'm reading the story titled “The Crickets' School” from the book “Among the Meadow People” written by Clara Dillingham Pierson.

Today's episode is full of awesomeness. First, this is a result of a listener's suggestion. Second, we read some more Greek mythology. Third, it's a double header. That's right, two stories today. The stories are “Tantalus” and “Salmoneus, Sisyphus, Ixion, and Phlegyas.” These stories come to us from the book “Gods and Heroes” written by George Upton.

Mythological beasts. Who doesn't like them? I love them, especially Greek ones, like Cerberus. Well, today, we don't talk about Cerberus, we talk about the Minotaur. The story we read is titles “The Slaying of the Minotaur” and it comes to us from the book “Tales of Troy and Greece” written by Andrew Lang.
