The Fighting Moose

Have you ever been stuck somewhere and just want to get back home? I may dare to say that most, if not all of us, have been in that situation. Whether it be work, school, or someplace that isn't home, we just want to leave our current surroundings and escape. Well, in today's story, we see how Buster escapes the basement of Nell's house and escapes to the North Woods with the story “Buster Returns to the North Woods” from the book Buster the Big Brown Bear written by George Ethelbert Walsh.

John narrates the book Nursery Lessons, in Words of One Syllable. This is a short one but, at least for me, makes me smile as he reads. The other day, my wife told me that she “...knows John loves to read and that he gets that from me.” That's a win in my book if I pass on the love of reading.

The sun is approximately 94.4 millions miles (151.9 million km) away from Earth. Travelling at the speed of the International Space Station of 17,500 mph (28,163 km/h) it would take you approximately 225 days to reach the sun. That would be a long time stuck in a space ship. Well, in today's episode, we don't travel the whole 94.4 million miles, we only travel about 57 million miles to Mercury, which is the Sun's closest neighbor. Today's story is “Adventure on the Sun's Doorstep” from the book Young Readers Science Fiction Stories written by Richard Elam.

If you found a bear in your house, that escaped from the circus, what would you do? I'd hide it in my room under clothes! No I wouldn't. I would probably be terrified. Anyway, in today's story we see what happens to Buster after he is discovered in the story “Buster is to be Sent to the Zoo” from the book Buster the Big Brown Bear written by George Ethelbert Walsh.

I love birds of prey. Around my house, I have seen bald eagles and hawks. I have yet to see him but I have heard him. Hooty visited the neighborhood about a month ago now. Like I said, I heard him but didn't see him. Well in today's story, we learn about Hooty and also about Terror the Goshawk with the story “Peter Sees Two Terrible Feathered Hunters” from the book The Burgess Bird Book for Children written by Thornton W. Burgess.

Buster Bear. I know of two authors that have used this name as a character for their stories and I would assume that there are more. I don't know if it was a popular name for bears back in the early1900s but I do like the stories I have found so far. Today's story is “Buster Tries to Escape and is Discovered” from the book Buster the Big Brown Bear written by George Ethelbert Walsh.

Looking up in the night sky and identifying the constellations, or seeing the Space Station zoom overhead, or sometimes spotting other celestial beings is always fun, for me at least. One of the easier constellations to recognize is Orion. He's starting to make an appearance again in the early night sky so I figured, why not do a story about him? So today, we read the story “How Orion Found His Sight” from the book Wonder Stories written by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey.

Saturn and Jupiter are supposed to be so close together in the sky, that they look like a double planet. I think I have seen it but haven't been able to confirm with my telescope. Hopefully I can do it in the next few days as they should be relatively close, I think. Anyway, why not read about Jupiter if we can't look at Jupiter? We get into the Greek mythology with the story “How Jupiter Granted a Wish” from the book Wonder Stories written by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey.

I always like when I find a story and learn something from it. That happened today. Hopefully you learn something about Sir Francis Drake as we read the story “How Sir Francis Drake Sailed Round the World” from the book School Reading by Grades written by James Anthony Froude.
