Mysterious Mud Excerpt:
<blockquote>Sunshine flowed into Dragon’s cave until the light stretched over to Dragon’s bed. Feeling the warmth, Dragon’s eyelids fluttered open. Dragon smiled, happy to see the sun after last night’s storm. Then Dragon sat up and stretched, wondering what to do today. Stepping outside the cave, Dragon saw puddles everywhere. With a little smile, Dragon hopped into one and began splashing the water all around. Hearing the commotion, three raccoons climbed down their tree curious to see what was going on. Finding Dragon splashing in the puddles, Rebel raccoon immediately began to giggle and hurried to join in. Rob and Riley quickly followed.</blockquote>

397. Mysterious Mud: a story and relaxation for kids

When Emily needs to go to the dentist, her dad and her brother Billy help calm her nerves.
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 3:20
Cheery Checkup Excerpt:
<blockquote>It was a regular day on Ahway Island. It had just rained, and you could feel the dampness in the air. The wind slowly rustled across the grass. Looking out the window of their house, Billy and Emily watched the birds play in a puddle of water next to the tree in their front yard. Emily anxiously played with the bottom of her shirt as she watched a cardinal flutter her wings in the water.
Today was the day that Emily was going to the dentist. Emily fidgeted with her shirt, eventually tearing a small hole in it as she thought more and more about today’s visit. Billy looked over at his sister and watched her fingers run through the hole in her shirt. The dentist always made Emily nervous; she didn’t like it when anyone looked in her mouth.</blockquote>
<h4>Today’s Meditation: Love flows through you in this meditation as you imagine a baby fawn and mama deer.</h4>

818. Cheery Checkup: a soothing meditation and bedtime story

Billy builds a race track for his toy cars….but then his little sister Emily wants to play with it, too.
<h6>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 “Race Tracks,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!</h6>
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 9:03
Race Tracks Excerpt:
<blockquote>Today had been an ordinary day. The sky was cloudy with some sunshine. Billy had followed his usual routine, and he expected the evening would be ordinary as well. His family had just finished dinner and now was the time Billy got to play with his favorite toy, his little yellow race car. Billy loved his little yellow race car. It had shiny black wheels, with a black lightning bolt racing stripe on each side. Billy kept the race car with him all the time, and especially liked to play with it after dinner. That was when he created the race track of the day. Billy had made tracks in the shape of a circle, and in an oval. He had even used a bridge to make a track in the shape of the number eight. “Yes,” He thought to himself. “I’ll make a figure eight today.”</blockquote>

396. Race Tracks: a calming story and meditation for bedtime

Kiwoo Lizard finds that his favorite basking rock has been covered by a branch! How will he move it?
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 3:49
Sunny Solution Excerpt:
<blockquote>It was a sunny day on Ahway Island. The forest was alive with the cheerful songs of birds flitting from branch to branch. A soft breeze whispered through the trees, causing the leaves to dance. It was the kind of day that made you want to close your eyes and let the sunshine wash all over you. This was exactly what Kiwoo lizard had in mind for a day like today. Having woken up to the sun shining brightly through the trees, Kiwoo just knew he had to make a trip out to his favorite sun-bathing rock. The vibrant greenery of the forest and the warmth of the sun promised a perfect day of relaxation.
With a grin and a gleeful hop, Kiwoo set out on his journey. His favorite rock was near the forest pond, and not too far away. As the little lizard strolled through the forest, he couldn’t help imagining what awaited him.  Kiwoo sighed happily.  He pictured himself basking there on his favorite rock – the warmth of the sun on his scales, the gentle forest breeze, the soft splish splash of the pond.</blockquote>

Kiwoo Lizard finds that his favorite basking rock has been covered by a branch! How will he move it? 
 
Narrator: Male 
 
Story Begins: 3:49 
 
Sunny Solution Excerpt: 
It was a sunny day on Ahway Island. The forest was alive with the cheerful songs of birds flitting from branch to branch. A soft breeze whispered through the trees, causing the leaves to dance. It was the kind of day that made you want to close your eyes and let the sunshine wash all over you. This was exactly what Kiwoo lizard had in mind for a day like today. Having woken up to the sun shining brightly through the trees, Kiwoo just knew he had to make a trip out to his favorite sun-bathing rock. The vibrant greenery of the forest and the warmth of the sun promised a perfect day of relaxation. 
 
With a grin and a gleeful hop, Kiwoo set out on his journey. His favorite rock was near the forest pond, and not too far away. As the little lizard strolled through the forest, he couldn’t help imagining what awaited him.  Kiwoo sighed happily.  He pictured himself basking there on his favorite rock – the warmth of the sun on his scales, the gentle forest breeze, the soft splish splash of the pond.

817. Sunny Solution: a calming bedtime story and meditation

Callie and Anora embark on an exciting space adventure with Dragon, exploring imaginary constellations.
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 3:46
Astronaut Dragon Excerpt:
<blockquote>Even though it was the weekend, Callie woke up especially early. Today she was going to play at her best friend Anora’s house.  Callie and Anora had a lot in common. They both loved playing what they called “imagination stories,” where they would make up a story then act it out. Sometimes they were adventurers exploring a new land. Other times they pretended to be geologists, making discoveries about the planet. And other times, they pretended to be veterinarians, taking care of their stuffies as if they were real animals needing treatment. The best part of playing “imagination stories” is they could pretend to be anything they wanted to!
On this day, Anora told Callie she had also invited over another friend – a new friend that Callie had never met. When Callie had asked who the friend was, Anora said it was Dragon! Having lived on Ahway Island for some time now, Callie had seen Dragon flying overhead in the sky, but had never actually met Dragon up close. Generally, Callie felt shy about meeting new friends, but Anora had spoken so nicely about Dragon that Callie felt more excited than shy. She was ready to meet Dragon.</blockquote>
