O TYM ODCINKU
Megan, Debra, and Lance revisit the animal stories that shaped generations, from Peter Rabbit and Charlotte’s Web to Stuart Little, The Trumpet of the Swan, and The Tale of Samuel Whiskers.
A July birthday episode for Beatrix Potter and E. B. White opens the door to rabbits, spiders, mice, swans, banned book debates, danger, talking animals, one extremely cursed pudding scene, and why some childhood classics feel a little different once you grow up.
