After breakfast Allie looks around for something to do. She notices something icy on the family room window. She never noticed it before. What could it be? Where else will she find it?
Narrator: Male
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:18
Finding Frost Excerpt:
Allie helped her mom and dad clean up the kitchen, after enjoying the food they had made together. Now that breakfast was done, Allie wandered into the family room wondering what to do today. She walked over to her bookshelf. It held so many fantastic stories. Allie touched the books and smiled as she remembered some of her favorites. Maybe later, Allie thought. She liked to read her books after dinner. She loved listening to her mom and dad read to her as she snuggled under her comfy blanket. Yes, she would definitely ask her parents for a story, later. Allie stepped over to the window to look outside.
Snowflakes drifted slowly down to the ground, occasionally tickled off course by a winter breeze. They swirled and twirled before floating downward once more. Allie moved the curtains to the side so she could watch the graceful snow. As she did, she noticed something in the corners of the window. The corners of the glass seemed foggy. Allie looked even closer and discovered little snowflakes glued to the window. As she watched, little snowflakes formed where her breath had met the glass. Allie stepped back. From there, the pattern of tiny flakes looked like delicate flowers. She gently touched an icy petal on the window. The little snowflakes melted underneath the warmth of her finger.
“Mom?” Allie asked, “What is this on the window?”

Everyone loves hide and seek! Where will Dragon find Henrietta Hippo and Oliver the elephant?
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 “Happy Hiding” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:29
Happy Hiding Excerpt:
The eager dragon peered out from the cozy cave and watched as the sun settled down to rest for the night. The hmmm from the sparkling train faded into the distance, and the dragon knew it was time to visit the sanctuary again. The dragon stepped outside the cave, stretched its wings wide, then lifted up off the ground. Hovering above the forest, the dragon looked for the train’s tracks and then followed them once again to visit Oliver the elephant and Henrietta the hippo. The dragon carefully landed next to a peaceful pool of water and admired this magnificent new land. Henrietta floated up from her spot in the pool and Oliver came running over.
“What should we do today?” The little elephant asked eagerly.
“Why don’t we play hide and seek?” the little hippo suggested. “Do you know how to play?” she asked the dragon.
The dragon shook its head, unsure of what hide and seek was.
“That’s ok.” Oliver said, “We’ll teach you.” So the little elephant and hippo explained how to play hide and seek. “Do you want to hide first, or seek first?” Oliver asked. The dragon took a deep dragon breath in and out and the flames showed the dragon covering its eyes.

Gavin Goldfish wants to communicate with his family so he tries blowing bubbles at them!
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 9:15
Bubbles in the Bowl Excerpt:
A warm light settled on the little sandcastle as Gavin the Goldfish swam around his tank. Noticing the flickering light, the little goldfish stopped to look towards the fireplace. Sure enough, there was a cozy fire going. It must have just been lit. The flames leaped up around the carefully stacked logs. Gavin swayed his long flowing tail from side to side to keep him glued to that spot. The little goldfish loved to watch the flames dance. They were so graceful and fluid, much like the seaweed in his tank. But the seaweed didn’t glow or pop. Gavin loved to hear the crackle of sparks as they flew up into the air, like glittery popcorn.
While the little goldfish watched the cozy fire, he noticed a fire extinguisher resting next to the fireplace. He felt happy his people were being safe with the fire. Gavin circled his tank slowly, watching as the flames shortened and relaxed until they were just a warm glow around the logs. Before long, there was nothing left but glowing embers in the fireplace.
Gavin shivered as the temperature in his tank cooled slightly, without the warmth from the fire. He wanted to let his people know he felt cold. But how would he tell them? After pacing the tank, back and forth, back and forth, the little goldfish came up with an idea. Gavin swam up to the water’s surface and took a big gulp of air. Then he quickly swam over to the thermometer in the tank. The little goldfish blew a barrage of bubbles at the glass. “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.” Mom heard and walked over to the tank.

Dragon goes for an early evening walk through the enchanted forest and finds a new little trail. The trail takes Dragon into a magical grove of ancient trees.
Narrator: Female
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 9:39
Magical Music Excerpt:
Sunlight spilled through the thick leaves of the trees in the enchanted forest, creating a colorful lacy pattern on the ground. Dragon gazed up at the sky to see it changing from a bright blue to filling with red, orange, pink, and purple. Dragon did like a sunset walk. Everything seemed a little more magical in the woods. Dragon smiled, enjoying both the warmth of the sun and the cool shade of the trees. As Dragon continued down the path, the gentle melody of a bird’s song circled Dragon. Dragon looked up to see Gerry bird, a friendly robin resting on a tree branch above. Gerry fluffed up her feathers and coasted down to see Dragon.
“Isn’t it a beautiful evening!” she sang.
Dragon nodded. Together they continued along the path. Gerry bird sang and circled Dragon, while Dragon walked along, taking in all the sights, smells, and sounds of the forest. Then Dragon stopped. A faint trail lead away from the path.
Wondering what could be down this new trail, Dragon stepped off the path. Gerry felt a bit curious too and followed Dragon. Since this was all new to Dragon, Dragon walked very carefully, gently moving tree branches aside. This part of the forest seemed very peaceful. Dragon heard a faint melody in the distance and realized the little trail would bring them right to it.
