    SONG: A Lullaby for a Dragon

    SONG: A Lullaby for a Dragon

    In our last episode, Mookie and his friends watched as a Chromanian Dragon hatched out of her shell. And what could they do with this wee magical creature but rock her to sleep with a baby bottle? ;-) 

    There's a bit of trouble afoot in Hawthorn Grove, but that's for the next episode! For now, let's sing our dear dragon to sleep with the "Lullaby for a Dragon" that Sander was humming in the last episode.

    Mookie and the Magic Egg, Story 2

    Mookie and the Magic Egg, Story 2

    Taking care of his chickens is one of Mookie’s favorite things to do. But one day, he was gathering eggs in the chicken coop for his Grandpa and found something quite curious. It was an egg, but certainly not a chicken egg. Still, Mookie cared for the green and blue speckled egg and wondered exactly what or who was in there. Mookie and his Grandpa couldn’t find an egg that looked anything like it in all those books they searched through from the library. Mookie carefully watched over the egg. And when it hatched, he and his friends could not believe their eyes!

What else could describe the beautiful stories
Simply wonderful

Hello! I like this but it could be better. I’m 10 and I think sparkle stories and little stories for tiny people are much better. If you can, make a story about a dog named Luna and her young owner named Ryan.(me and Luna are both girls) or a story about a GOOD wolf. Thanks!

Magical!

Wonderful stories my 4 year old son listens to over and over again.
