Panda gets excited when he sees a potential friend. So excited, he’s apt to put his cold, wet nose right in their face! Eeek! Whoa Panda! Fortunately Panda has a friend to help him navigate how close is too close. And before long, he is able to say “Way to go, Panda” instead of “Whoa Panda!”

It’s evening in the forest, and Little Owl has just woken up from his day-long slumber to watch his friends enjoying the night. There’s Hedgehog, who sniffs around for mushrooms; Skunk, who nibbles at berries; Frog, who croaks; and Cricket, who sings. As the full moon rises, Little Owl wonders how anyone would want to miss it. Could the daytime be nearly as wonderful? But as Mama Owl begins to describe it to him, Little Owl falls fast asleep!
Storytime with Cate Berry

Scorch the hedgehog is determined to be ferocious. The doomsy-est, most menacing class pet ever known. She’s not just Scorch, she’s… Scorch, Hedgehog of Doom!
There’s just one problem―Scorch is kind of adorable. So adorable, in fact, that it’s all anyone ever notices.

When is an old truck something more? On a small, bustling farm, a resilient and steadfast pickup works tirelessly alongside the family that lives there, and becomes a part of the dreams and ambitions of the family’s young daughter.
After long days and years of hard work leave the old truck rusting in the weeds, it’s time for the girl to roll up her sleeves. Soon she is running her own busy farm, and in the midst of all the repairing and restoring, it may be time to bring her faithful childhood companion back to life.

Pizza and Taco are “jelly” of their friends who have StewTube channels. But don’t worry, these food besties always have a plan! All they need is some funny footage and a pet video is what most people are hungry for. Since neither of them has a pet, they borrow Biscuit the dog from the lady down the street—with some embarrassing results!
Camp Out with Kat Fajardo
2:20 - 3:05 PM
Sue is heading to Camp Willow this summer! She’s looking forward to hiking, archery, and making comics in the fresh air. She’s especially excited about LARPing (live-action role-playing) and can’t wait for the freedom of being away from home. But she won’t be far from family because her big sister, Carmen, is a camp counselor and her little sister, Ester, is a fellow camper and won’t give her any space! All Sue wants is to make memories with her friends, but they’re assigned to only a few of the same activities. To make matters even worse, her best friend, Sam, has a best camp friend named Marisol? And Sue’s good friend Izzy has a crush on Sue?! This summer isn’t at all going as planned!
