Tonight’s story was wished for by Anne, who is 7 years old and lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Thank you so much for your voice message, Anne — we loved it!

The bedtime story is called “Whisker McTickle’s Beach Adventure” and it’s about a very curious cat who doesn’t act like other cats. While most felines avoid water, Whisker McTickle dreams of the sea. One sunny day, he sneaks into his family’s beach bag… and what follows is a sandy, salty, fish-scented adventure like no other!

Join Whisker as he discovers what the ocean feels like, meets a marching crab, sneaks a bite of grilled fish, and braves a rainy dash across the shore to find his way home. It’s a story about curiosity, courage, and the joy of exploring the unknown.

Tonight’s fact theme is penguins! 🐧 We’ll learn why penguins can’t fly through the air but are amazing swimmers, how their black-and-white feathers help them hide, and what penguin dads do that’s really quite surprising.

So snuggle up, listen closely, and let your imagination wander to the sound of waves, seagulls… and one very brave cat with mismatched eyes and a heart full of wonder. 🌙✨🐾🌊
