Last Week: Reading To Dogs
This time on The Children’s Hour we explore how reading to dogs can help kids feeling confident and excited about reading. Read To The Dogs programs can be found in many libraries, and sometimes they come to schools. We meet dogs trained in being patient readers, and hear a story about the impact of reading to dogs on kids. Comes with a learning guide.

Firefighters are helpers who rush toward danger when others need help. On this episode of The Children’s Hour, the Kids Crew visits a real fire station in Albuquerque, New Mexico to learn how firefighters protect people, animals, and neighborhoods every day. This episode has a learning guide with activities to dig even deeper into the world of firefighters.

This episode of The Children’s Hour is going to stink, as we learn all about skunks with the founder and director of The Dragoo Institute for the Betterment of Skunks and Skunk Reputations, Dr. Jerry Dragoo. We’ll find out where skunks are found, why they smell, and how to avoid getting sprayed. Dr. Dragoo is a world renowned mephitologist, or biologist who studies skunks.
