The second part in an imaginative, alliterative story tour of some of our favorite letters in fun combinations of exciting words....and sometimes a little backstory on why they are spelled not-quite-how-we-would-think! Language is versatile and also changes over time!

Those brightly colored fruits and veggies are grabbing our attention in this episode!! We talk about our bodies as beautiful trees that have a lot of needs....and those sometimes overlooked foods that often get a bad rap in some children's literature- and give them the story they deserve!!! That plus a Gilbert and Sullivan patter food song and some recipes to get creative with eating veggies!! 
Thanks for listening!

Glad to be back! In this episode we begin a new series on letters and sounds to explore! Even if you're a reader, you'll still enjoy finding the sounds of alliteration and assonance, as well as the meanings of certain parts of words!
In our family, we are VERY interested in Pokemon, so those characters definitely make an appearance!
