Bobby the Bus is ready for 1st day fun as he follows his route to pick up the Kindergarteners.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “1st Day Fun” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 6:41
1st Day Fun Excerpt:
Sunshine filled the morning sky with bright cheerful light. It was the 1st day of Kindergarten and Bobby the Bus was excited and nervous. He was sparkling clean and ready. Bobby had practiced his route several times, and had it memorized. The happy yellow bus knew it was his responsibility and privilege to carry the kindergartners to school safely. Bobby reminded himself that his practice routes had gone well. He had extra time scheduled so that the kindergartners would be on time, even if their parents took a while to say goodbye. Bobby took a deep dragon breath in and out to help himself calm. OK, it was time to start the day.
As the big yellow bus approached the first stop, he noticed the little kids were pointing and smiling. One was even hopping up and down with excitement. What a relief! Moms and dads gave their little ones hugs as each child stepped onto the bus. They climbed slowly up the great big steps with their little legs. Each little one sat down in a seat where they could see their parents, and waved excitedly out the window. Great big smiles shined on their faces as their parents waved back. Slowly Bobby pulled away from the stop. The big yellow bus delighted in the sound of laughter as it drifted to the front.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

Mia and Max learn about heirloom seeds from Grandma and Grandpa.
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:03
Heirlooms Excerpt:
Autumn sunlight poured into Max’s bedroom, a bright beam of light falling over Max’s closed eyes. He stirred, the light beginning to wake him. He sighed and stretched and slowly opened his eyes, shielding them from the light with his arm. As he woke up, he suddenly remembered – they were going to visit the Botanic Gardens with Grandma and Grandpa today!
Max went to wake up his sister Mia. He knew she would be excited, too. Max and Mia both loved visiting the Botanic Garden, but more importantly, they loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. Sure enough, Mia got out of bed cheerfully as soon as Max woke her up.
After Max and Mia had breakfast, had gotten dressed, and brushed their teeth, they waited for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive so they could all go together to the Gardens.
“I want to go to the kitchen gardens!” said Mia. “That’s my favorite part of the Botanic Gardens.”
“Me, too!” said Max. “I want to see the vegetables!”
Today’s Meditation: Today, enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.

Join us for Puffin Fun as Pearl and Peter Puffin dive into the water and swim with the fish.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Puffin Fun” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Puffin Fun Excerpt:
Soft clouds covered the sky, as the puffin family woke from their afternoon nap. Pearl and Peter Puffin rubbed beaks and smiled as they hugged their baby bird. Then Pearl stretched her wings wide. It was her turn to search for dinner. The mama and papa puffin rubbed beaks once more and Pearl stepped outside of their cozy burrow.
The little puffin wandered over to the edge of the island and flew out across the water. Finding a good spot, she dove into the water with a tiny splash. With her wings extended, Pearl looked like she was flying through the water. She twisted and turned, enjoying the feeling of the water around her feathers. Then she popped back up to the surface and floated on the waves. Just for a moment, Pearl allowed herself to enjoy the gentle rocking sensation of the sea.
It was time to find food for dinner so the little puffin took a deep dragon breath in and out and dove down. The color of the water changed from clear, to a light blue to a rich blue, as Pearl dove deeper and deeper. Then she saw something sparking as it was caught by the light.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe.

Mia and Max play a fun game of miniature golf with their parents.
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:32
Putt-Putt Fun Excerpt:
“Dad, what are we going to do today?” asked Mia.
“Today we’re going to play miniature golf,” replied Dad.
“Oh wow, cool!” exclaimed Max.
“Miniature golf? What’s that?” asked Mia.
“Mini golf is like grownup golf, but it’s better for kids and it’s more fun,” said Max. “You get a golf ball and a golf stick…”
“…a putter,” said Mom, smiling.
“…a putter,” continued Max, “and then instead of hitting the golf ball into holes in the grass like in a regular golf game, you hit the ball into holes next to cute little buildings and castles and stuff. Some people call it Putt-Putt golf. Maybe because of the putter.”
“Wow,” said Mia, “I want to play Putt Putt!”
Today’s Meditation: Today, notice loving energy flowing through your body, from your feet up to your head.

Dragon the builder completes an ice castle for Princely the Penguin. How will they celebrate?
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Dragon the Builder” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Male
Dragon the Builder Excerpt:
The dragon smiled at Beau and nodded, then began to pack the snow together. Princely smoothed it over with his wings. Amazingly, the snow stayed together better than the sand had. Creating tall cylinders on the sides for the towers and making a square for the center, slowly the castle grew. Once the basic shape was there, the dragon began to dig some snow out to form entrances.
“Wow” Princely said, “this looks extravagant.”
The dragon stopped and looked at the penguin with an expression that said, ‘what does that mean?’
“You know, fancy.” The dragon nodded. Before long the structure was finished.
Princely and Beau said, “Wow!”
Beau said, “You could live in that, Princely.”
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.
