The Fighting Moose

I thought that I ran out of prairie dog stories, come to find out, I didn't. I found another one. Today, we read the story of “Whistler and Yap Yap” from the book The Burgess Animal Book for Children written by Thornton W. Burgess. This was fun for me because I actually have the hard copy of this book sitting on my shelf at home. I read the story the other day at home and decided I should do it here today too.

Have you ever seen or heard an owl at night while in the woods? I don't know if I ever have but I can say without a doubt that I have seen and heard an owl at night in the woods. We did an owl prowl the other day at a local nature center and it was a lot of fun. We learned things about owls and like I said, we got to see and hear owls in the woods. It was a lot of fun. This is why we are reading the story “Why Hooty the Owl Does Not Play on the Green Meadows” from the book Mother West Wind's Children written by Thornton W. Burgess.

Going to space is a dream of mine. I actually did look at becoming an astronaut but I don't have the right educational credentials to even apply. So I guess for now, I'm stuck on this rock we call Earth. Don't get me wrong, I love Earth but there is a draw to space for me and when I look up into the heavens at night or at the moon, I wonder what it's like up there. Anyway, we read a story about a boy who try's out for space with the story “Gib Takes a Space Test.” From the book Young Readers Super Science Fiction Stories written by Richard Elam.

Ever picked up a shoe in the garage and dumped out a bunch of bird seed? That happened to me the other day though it wasn't a shoe, it was a rollerblade. Well, we read in today's story about how mice store up things in pockets kind of like they stored their seed in my rollerblades. Today, we read the story “Mice with Pockets, and Others” from the book The Burgess Animal Book for Children written by Thornton W. Burgess. This episode is hosted by a special guest.

Turkey, family, and football. Those are the first couple of words that come to my mind when I think of Thanksgiving. What do you think of? Maybe those, maybe more. However, I'm sure those are the first things the Pilgrims thought of when they thought of Thanksgiving. So, in today's story, we read about “The First Thanksgiving” written by Alfred Blaisdell and Francis Ball, from the book Good Cheers Stories Every Child Should Know.

Dits and dahs. Those are the tones that make up Morse code. While studying for my ham radio license, they talked about Morse code. It has been around for a while and still alive and active on the airwaves. For me, it's been very difficult to learn it. In a way, it's kind of a new language to learn. Well, in todays story, we see how Guglielmo Marconi sent received the first wireless telegraph signals in the story “Marconi and the Wireless Telegraph” from the book Historic Inventions written by Rupert Holland.

I find it funny when I look at works from the middle to late 20th century and what they thought the 2000s would be like. Today, we read the story “All Aboard for Space” from the book Young Readers Science Fiction Stories written by Richard Elam. In today's story, you will see what Mr. Elam pictured the year 2004 would be like. If you were alive in 2004, you probably will find it humorous. Either way, congratulations to SpaceX and NASA for a successful launch of 4 crew members to the International Space Station on 15 NOV 2020.

Today, we continue of the topic of prairie dogs with the story “Dog-Town Diggings” from the book Watched by Wild Animals written by Enos A. Mills. This story comes from the book Mr. Mills wrote after spending some time in nature and just recording his observations. For me, being out in nature is very relaxing. I could sit on a river bank and fish all day or I could sit in my blind all day. Whether I catch anything or not, a day in the field or on the river is way better than sitting at home doing nothing. What can you observe around where you live?

Today, we read a whole book! Now it's wouldn't be a crazy long book, if it was published, it would probably be about 60 pages long and with a lot of pictures in it. The book is Prairie-Dog Town written by Laura Bancroft.
