Kip Takes The Long Way: A Story for Kids

Rhea Pechter
About this episode

Kip has been itching to take a 'just because' walk in the woods. Finally, he gets his chance. He's got a whole day with nothing to do before he performs in a sunset concert with his band at Big Fish Pond. But what is meant to be a quick jaunt in the woods turns into something quite a bit longer and unexpected. Will Kip make it back in time for the concert? You'll have to listen to find out. ENJOY!

Thank you to ROSALIND for the super important reminder message at the beginning!
