I was a while for a while filming a show, so that meant we didn't get new story times for a hot sec -- but don't worry, we are back and starting strong with a children's book series by Angela C. Santomero, creator of Blue's Clues, about a kind kitten who uses a magical purse to solve problems in Storybook Meadow, teaching kindness and creativity. The first book, released in April 2026, features Penelope using items from her purse to help a sad Dragon, turning his fiery roars into toasted marshmallows for a ball. The series, illustrated by David Stark, James Hutchinson, and Stephanie Six, focuses on themes of friendship and empathy, with a second book, Dragon's Marshmallow Mess, continuing the adventures.

Get ready, friends! This is an extra silly episode! Gio & Ivry had a case of the giggles!

This book if from acclaimed author and illustrator Chris Van Dusen. Here's what the story is about!
Sitting in the back seat of his dad’s car, Jack begins to imagine all the ways he would improve the vehicle. After spending the night designing, tweaking, and refining, Jack is prepared to give an eye-opening tour of the car he'd like to build.
For starters, there's a snack bar, a pool, and even a robot named Robert to act as chauffeur. Plus, the motor releases fragrances of blueberry muffins and roses rather than gasoline. With Jack's soaring imagination in the driver's seat, readers will be deep-sea diving one minute and flying high above traffic the next in this whimsical, tantalizing take on the car of the future.
