Join us this Saturday the 15th for I Am Not a Fish! by Peter Raymundo. Edgar is a jellyfish, but he doesn't look, act, or feel very much like a "fish." With a little help though from some friendly starfish, Edgar realizes that labels aren't important, and he should celebrate what makes him unique!

Join us Saturday morning from 9:00-10:00 AM! This week's story is The Story of Ferdinand (Ferdinand the Bull)! Unlike all the other little bulls - who run, jump, and butt their heads together in fights - Ferdinand would rather sit under his favorite tree and smell the flowers. So what will happen when Ferdinand is picked for the bull fights in Madrid?
