- Tigers and gibbons and bears.

Oh my, I had a great time at the zoo.

Learning from the zookeepers all about these animals their calls and unique personalities.

Come along, let's learn together.

Look, it's a the tiger.

- Currently we have three tigers at the zoo.

We have one male and two females.

This is Callisto.

She's one of our four year old female tigers.

- [Sarah] What kind of tiger is she?

- She's an Amur tiger.

- Okay.

- So it's the thing as Siberian tiger.

The name kind of changed because their range has been so restricted to along the Amur River on the Eastern side of Russia.

- How many of them are there out in the wild?

- There are about 500 Amur tigers in the wild.

- Oh wow.

- Mm-hmm [affirmative].

They're one of the biggest tiger species so they can get up to about five to 600 pounds.

- And they're so beautiful.

- Mm-hmm [affirmative].

- [Sarah] And in the wild tigers are great predators, they have these huge paws and these powerful jaws.

So how do they stock and then capture their prey?

- So they're excellent at stocking their prey.

That's one of their best attributes.

They will hide in the grass or behind trees.

For their size for being three to 500 pounds, they're quite stealthy, and even sometimes when we're calling them in from exhibit if they're hiding from us and playing, a lot of times we don't hear them and they just show up right there.

- That must be a little scary.

[laughs] - Yes, even as keepers, I will admit like they can even sneak up on us too.

- Wow.

- That's how good they are.

And it's kind of funny, you kind of think how on earth is an orange cat with black stripes [Sarah laughs] hide from anybody.

And it's actually very beneficial because with the shade that comes through the trees in the forest, - Mm-hmm [affirmative].

- they blend in really, really well with those stripes in that orange coloring.

They're very, very quiet, prey usually doesn't hear them coming, and then all of a sudden they pounce.

So they can run to 30 to 40 miles an hour.

- Mm-hmm [affirmative], so they can go from zero to 30 really quickly then.

- Yes.

And they're very good at jumping.

So there's a common misconception.

You always read that tigers can jump 30 feet, that's forward [indistinct] they have.

- 30 feet.

- Mm-hmm [affirmative].

- Wow.

Callisto is out there and I can imagine her stalking and then pouncing all of a sudden, I would not wanna be chased by a tiger.

Hey guys look, there's a pair of gibbons.

[gibbons calling] - Here's the white one and she is our female, and she is about 26 years old.

Bailey is the male.

He is black and he's about 24 years old.

Tia has been at the zoo her entire life, and Bailey has been here most of his life.

- So Gibbons are not monkeys.

- [Delaina] They are not monkeys.

Gibbons are in the eight family.

- Gibbons are really intelligent, and they have a very complex communication system.

- They are incredibly intelligent primates.

So in the wild, the call serves many purposes.

They have a wide range in the canopy forest, and they can actually tell the call of their family members and their mate no matter where they are.

So it's used for them as a way to communicate and stay together.

Their vocalizations can also be used as a way for those animals to protect territory, to warn others off from their area and keep the boundary.

- [Sarah] And did the male and female sort of harmonized together?

- So they have each unique song between each pair and family groups that they can recognize no matter where they are.

[gibbon calling] Their song usually starts out with a male with a lower tone and he has some more hoots and hollers.

And then the female will jump in, and she has some higher pitch tone and a longer range.

[gibbons calling] And they call back and forth, responding and harmonizing with each other and usually with the female reaching her peak tone and then the male will end with his lower call.

They're very in sync.

- We are so lucky to hear them communicating to each other, and I think it's amazing how so many animals in the natural world harmonize together.

[gibbons calling] - So we have our three Alaska brown bears here at the Minnesota Zoo.

The one right here in front is Kenai.

And then behind him, the lighter one is Sadie.

And the one laying down behind us is Haynes.

And they're over here 'cause we put a little extra food out for them this morning.

This time of year, they like to be a sleepy, of course.

- [Sarah] Mm-hmm [affirmative].

- [Man] They don't truly hibernate.

It's called a torpor.

They don't do it as much as they do in the wild because we give them enough food here.

- [Sarah] Mm-hmm [affirmative].

- [Man] So they don't have to worry about that.

But we wanted to make sure everybody could see them up and moving a little bit because most of the time they're gonna go right down into that den and go to sleep.

- Obviously.

And what do they like?

Do they have different personalities?

- [Man] They behave similarly in that they're bears, but then their personalities are really different.

- This is a Kenai right here.

- Kinai.

- [Sarah] What's he like?

- [Man] He is kind of the goofy little brother of the group.

- And then we have Haynes.

- [Man] Haynes is kind of the easy going peacekeeper.

- [Sarah] And then what's Sadie's like?

- [Man] Sadie is in charge of everything.

[Sarah laughs] - [Man] Short, long, and short of it, she's in charge of everything.

- [Sarah] And do they all get along?

- They play.

- Mm-hmm [affirmative].

- [Man] They play a good amount.

The boys wrestle quite a bit like brothers would do.

Sadie puts up with Kenai, but she's not a big fan.

- [Sarah] Are they all the same age?

- They're really close to the same age.

- Okay.

- They were all orphaned in Alaska.

We were really fortunate that they were put together when they were probably around six months old, - Okay, so they were really young - so they got along.

- [Man] As far as I know, they're litter.

- So it's so interesting that like humans all bears have different personalities.

You have the instigator, or you have the peacekeeper, the rambunctious one, but it's also wonderful that they all get along together.

- Welcome back to Poem in my Pocket day on "Camp TV."

Now, before we get too far ahead of ourselves, I thought we could all use a refresher on what exactly a poem is.

So let's start at the beginning, which is usually a very good place to start.

A poem is a piece of writing that uses imaginative words to share an idea story or emotions, and a person who writes a poem is called a poet.

Sometimes poems have words or phrases that sound good together when they are read aloud and some poems go along with the tune or rhythm like the lyrics of a song.

There are all sorts of types, but one of my favorites is an acrostic poem.

An acrostic poem has a topic word that runs down the left side of the poem, and each letter has a new thought that runs off the side from left to right related to that word.

Here, let me show you.

Take, for example my name.

Let's use the letters of my name to describe who I am starting with Z.

When I think about who I am, word I would use to describe myself is zestful, that means enthusiastic and full of energy.

Yeah, that feels appropriate.

Now let's try the other letters.

What's an A word that describes me?

How about active?

Nah, kind of feels like zestful.

I know, how about artistic?

Yeah, that feels good.

Okay, next, C, well that's easy.

Campy because, well, you know.

An H, H for happy.

So that's Z for zestful, A for artistic, C for campy and H for happy.

Yup, sounds like me, a perfect acrostic poem.

Now it's your turn.

Can you make a poem with the letters of your name?

Give it a try.

And in the meantime, enjoy these next few activities.

Arts and crafts, yes, please.

Let's get artsy.

- Hey everyone, it's Brittany here.

I'm gonna be showing you how to make a zipper friendship bracelet.

Let's get started.

To make this super friendship bracelet, you're only gonna need three things, some scissors, some tape, your thread and three different colors, but you're only gonna be using two of these colors, and the third one is gonna be used as your base.

So you wanna take your strings and you wanna measure out two feet for each color so in total, we will have three strings.

Then you wanna tie a knot about inch down from the top and take your tape and tape your strings to a hard surface in order to stabilize them so we can start making your friendship bracelet.

So you wanna start by taking your left string and making a number four.

[bell ringing] And looping it under and through the middle string.

You wanna do this on the right side, but this time make a backwards four.

[bell ringing] Looping it under and through the middle string, and pulling it to the top to make a knot.

Now you wanna keep going through the same process back and forth back and forth between your left and your right string making a regular four, [bell ringing] and then a backwards four.

[bell ringing] You wanna do this until you get the length that you like for your wrist.

And then once you're done doing this, just tie a knot at the very end of the bracelet to hold it all together and it on your wrist.

So that is how you make a zipper friendship bracelet.

Super awesome, incredibly easy, and it doesn't take too long to make this.

I challenge you to go and make your own friendship bracelet and give it to all your best friends.

And after you made them one, make them another and then another, and then another until their whole wrist is filled up with friendship bracelets.

Be the best friend that you can possibly be.

- [Zach] Jump, dance, play.

It's time to get active, let's move.

- Hi, my name is Jen.

I'm a teaching artist for National Dance Institute, and today we're gonna talk about feelings.

Have you ever woken up and for no reason at all, you just feel sad?

Me too, that happens sometimes.

What about do you wake up and feel excited or happy?

You don't even know why, but you just wanna jump out of bed.

Yeah, that happens to me too also.

I wanna share something with you.

So this is a flower ball and inside the flower ball are little notes with feelings on them, let's pick one and see what it says.

Let's see what feeling says, excited.

Have you ever felt excited?

I'm sure you have.

How about when you're gonna go get ice cream or if the snow is falling down, are you getting excited to go make a snowman?

Right, let's see how can we express excited in our body?

Okay, I don't know about you, but when I'm excited, I wanna do this.

I just wanna reach to the sky.

Everybody try with me.

I'm gonna say, get ready here you go, and then make that picture.

Get ready here you go, take a picture.

So good, let's do the opposite of that.

Excited, and then we come in, excited and then we come in.

Can we try that four times?

Let's try it together.

Get ready here we go, this is one, this is two, this is three, this is four.

I love it, the dance was good.

Okay, ready for feeling number two?

Let's see.

What does it say?

Oh, this is so fun.

Silly, when do you feel silly?

Maybe when you're out in the playground at school and you're just being super silly or when you have friends over for a play date, how can we put silly in our body, in our movement?

Okay, we're here.

This is our bookmark after excited.

Now we have silly.

This is what silly looks like for me.

Ready?

Here I go.

Get ready, here I go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12 13, 14, 15, 16.

I go to the floor, I come up.

It's 16 counts, try it.

You can do my version of silly or you can do your version of silly.

Here we go, bookmark, get ready here we go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12 13, 14, 15, 16 Okay, number three.

Let's see.

Aw, what about sad?

When do you feel sad?

Maybe when you have to go to bed at night, you're sad 'cause you just wanna keep staying up and eating yummy food and watching TV with your family.

Or maybe you're sad because you didn't do that great on a homework assignment.

How can we put sad into our body?

Okay, we just finished silly.

Now we've got sad.

What does sad look like in your body?

You can do any kind of sad.

This is my sad.

I'll show you and then do it with me after, here I go.

Get ready, here I go.

Sad, four, five, six, seven, sad.

[indistinct] Try it with me, your version of sad, or you can do mine, 16 counts in total.

Here we go.

Ready, ready, here we go.

Sad.

[sobbing] Sad.

[sobbing] Did you do it?

Beautiful, okay.

Let's put, hmm, let's do silly into sad.

Good luck, here we go.

16 counts for silly, 16 counts for sad.

Here we go, ready, ready, here we go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, sad, five, six, seven, eight, sad, five, six, seven, eight.

How did you do?

Okay.

We're gonna put it all together.

We've got excited four times, right?

Then we've got silly and then we've got sad, good luck.

Let's put it together.

Ready, ready, here we go.

Exited four times.

Oh, yeah.

Woo-ohoo.

Woo.

Now we go sad.

Sad.

[sobbing] Sad.

[sobbing] How did you do?

Oh, amazing.

Okay, ready for number four?

Let's see.

What do we have here?

Oh, confident and strong.

Oh my gosh.

So when do you feel confident and strong?

Maybe when you do really well in school, right?

I've felt that way.

Or how about when you were playing a sport and you do really great that day or hmm, let's say maybe you're cooking in the kitchen and you make a yummy recipe with your family and you just feel so good about how great it tastes.

Amazing.

All right, let's put confident and strong inside of our bodies.

What does that look like?

I'm here for sad.

This is my bookmark.

And now I'm going into strong and confident, right?

Those were the words from the flower wall.

Strong and confident.

What does that look like in your body?

Well, for me, I'm standing up really tall.

I'm marching, I'm marching, my knees are high, I'm confident.

My chest is open.

I'm telling the world I'm confident.

I feel good about myself.

All right, well, that's what mine looks like.

And then follow me after, here I go.

Ready, ready, here I go.

Then I'm gonna turn it, turn, turn, turn and freeze.

Well done.

So 16 counts again.

The first eight were to the camera, to the audience.

The second eight, we make the circle.

Try it with me.

Ready, ready, here we go.

Uh-huh [affirmative], I'm confident, oh, yes, I turn.

Do it again, do it again, do it again.

Turn it.

[indistinct] so much, let's do it one more time, knees high, knee.

Can you get your knees higher than mine?

Oh, turn, you can get your elbows high, and please don't move.

[sighs] This is fun and exciting.

Let's put it all together.

Here we go.

Excited, four times in a row.

[playful music] Oh, so good.

Let's do it again.

Here we go.

[playful music] Wow.

Wow, wow.

I'm so proud of you.

It is so important to be able to express yourself not just with your words, but with your body.

Good job dancers, I'm so excited to be here.

I'm excited that we had the time together.

I hope to see you soon, see you next time.

- [Both] Peace.

- So now that we've written the poem, what happens if you don't have a pocket?

Have no fear, crafty Zack is here.

Portable pockets to the rescue.

You will need a piece of paper, some scissors and some glue.

That's it.

Start by folding your paper in half.

Just about three quarters of the way from the top.

Then fold the sides and the top about an inch deep.

Next unfold the paper, cut the sides off the bottom half and snip off the corners above.

Then snip off the corners at the top of your paper too.

You'll end up with the shape like this.

Next fold in the sides, add some glue and smooth.

Just make sure to leave an opening at the top.

Let the glue dry, and when you're done, you'll have the perfect portable pocket, perfect for putting a poem in.

Ready for some math that counts?

Count on.

- Hi, my name is Lori Ann.

I am with the New York City Department of Education, Office of School Wellness Programs.

I know that physical activity is very important for both our bodies and our brains.

So I am here today with you to do some physical activity while I'm looking at multiplications.

So before we do anything, make sure that you have plenty of space around you and around on the floor so you don't bump into anything or kick anything.

All right, now here's how it's gonna work.

I'm gonna multiply two numbers together to get an answer or a product.

If that answer is correct, you are going to show me with three jumping jacks.

So let's do one, two, three, so three jumping jacks for true.

If you are seated today, you can show me your jumping jacks with your arms to show that it is true.

If the answer is false, you're gonna sit back in your chair and come up.

You'll sit back and come up for three times.

Now, if you are going to be using your arms to show me by lifting in front for false, okay?

Now, we're all gonna be marching together while we listen for the next question.

So let's begin.

Knees up high, first equation.

One times nine is nine, two or false?

One times nine is nine.

That's true, three jacks.

Let's keep going.

Two times five is 10, true or false?

Two times five is 10?

That's true, three jacks.

Let's keep going.

Three times seven is 21.

True or false?

Three times seven is 21.

That's true.

Three jacks.

Let's keep going.

Next one, four times four is 18.

True or false.

Four times four is 18, that's false.

Let's try it again.

True or false, four times four is 16.

Four times four is 16, that's true.

Yes, let's keep going.

Five times 10 is 55, true or false.

Five times 10 is 55.

Uh-uh, [negative] that is false.

Let's try it again.

True or false, five times 10 is 50.

Five times 10 is 50, that's true.

Yes.

Well, let's keep going.

Six times four is 24, true or false?

Six times four is 24.

That's true, let's keep going.

Seven times two is 16.

True or false?

Seven times two is 16.

That's false.

Uh-uh [negative], let's try that again.

Seven times two is 17.

True or false?

Seven times two is 17.

No, that's false.

Let's try it again.

Seven times two is 14.

True or false?

Seven times two is 14, that's true.

Yes, let's do a couple more.

Eight times eight is 64.

True or false?

Eight times eight is 64.

That's true.

We're getting there, one more.

True or false?

Zero times nine is zero, zero times nine is zero, true or false?

That's true.

Yay, we did it.

Wow, oh my goodness.

Hands on your heart.

Feel the difference?

I'm moving around a little bit because my heart is moving quite quickly.

My breathing is faster.

Let's cool down.

So we're gonna inhale and we'll bring our arms up over our head.

And then as we exhale, we breathe out.

We push our hands together a little bit.

Let's do that two more times, let's breathe in, [inhales] and then breathe out, [exhales] cooling down one more time, inhaling and exhaling.

Excellent job.

We just did quite a few multiplication equations and we really got our heart moving and pumping the blood and I'm feeling very energized, and I hope you are too.

Maybe this is something that you can try with your friends when you're practicing your multiplication.

Well, I hope to see you again some times.

Thanks so much, bye-bye.

- [Zach] Arts and crafts?

Yes, please.

Let's get artsy.

- Hi and welcome to Sketch with Jeff.

As always, I'm really excited to see you.

I was just looking at one of my favorite picture books, and what I love about picture books is that usually they combined both pictures and words, and when you put the two together, they tell a whole story.

A lot of artists also like to combine pictures and words.

Sometimes when you put a word next to a picture, it can change the whole meaning of that image.

What if we were to put pictures and words together?

Maybe we start with words that you would expect but what if we change it?

Does this change how you feel about the picture?

Perhaps the words can be unexpected or tell a story or show a feeling or a condition or maybe it describes a relationship.

I think the fruit would be friendly, what do you think?

Let's look at the Guggenheim Museum and see if we can find some examples of artists who use words and pictures together, come on.

The words and pictures together in this drawing tell me that something has happened to this boy.

- [Man] What I love about the work of Artist Barbara Kruger is juxtaposition.

That means she puts words and pictures next to each other and lets you figure out the meaning.

- I'm really inspired.

I wonder what I should do next, hmm.

Wow, what a great idea, I should sketch.

I think I'm going to sketch a picture and then add a word or words to it and we'll see what happens.

Come with me to my drawing board, let's go.

I'm excited.

I'm gonna make a work of art using words and pictures.

I'm gonna actually start with letters.

I bought these poster letters that you can peel off and arrange and I'm just going to put them in a straight line.

And when I have them where I want them, I'm gluing them, trying to make sure the spacing is all correct, make sure they're evenly spaced.

And I'm just gonna glue them very lightly down before I start my drawing.

I don't need them to be glued heavily because I don't want them to totally stick.

I'm gonna take them off later.

I'm drawing a pencil and I'm hoping that the combination of the pencil drawing will work nicely with the words.

I'm drawing with charcoal first, and then I'm going to blend it and add a little bit of colored pastel as I go along and just try to work on the highlights and the shading in the pencil to make it really identifiable as a pencil.

I'm also going to add some color in the background with the pastels.

This is where it gets fun.

I'm going to blend the colors around and over the words.

I'm going to even draw close to and even on top of the letters.

These letters are going to come off later, so I wanna get the pastels as close to the edge of the letters as possible, mixing the colors and blending them.

I'm trying to get a nice combination of colors that will look good when I take the letters off.

Blending and smoothing with my paper towel, and just being very careful to get close to the edge of the letters without going underneath or getting in the space where the letters are attached, and add a little bit of shading down below too to make sure that my entire page is covered with beautiful colors.

And now it's time for the fun part.

I'm going to take the letters off one by one very carefully.

I just used a little bit of glue so they come right off and aha, the white paper underneath is showing through.

I think it makes a really powerful version of the letters the way their color is blended around.

When I take the tape off, I have this frame that's left on the paper and there I have it, my juxtaposition of a pencil and the word, think.

I wonder what associations I could make with these two things placed next to each other.

Well, since I drew a pencil, we definitely need to check in with my friend pencil.

I wonder what she thinks about the word think pencil.

- [Pencil] I love it.

Pencil makes me think.

- Speaking of thinking, pencil and I have a challenge for you.

You can draw any picture you want, but you must include a word or words somewhere in that picture.

The bigger part of the challenge is choose a word or words that you wouldn't ordinarily put with that picture.

Choosing unusual or unexpected word.

When you combine it with the picture, see what happens, maybe it changes everything.

I love sharing art with you and whoa, I guess words are really important for this episode, but I think I'm going to get out of the way before they take over.

I'll see you soon, bye.

[bell ringing] - I can't stop thinking about words and letters, and I can't [indistinct].

- Step out of the shade of flame and unafraid the new dawn blooms as we free it for there was always light if only we're brave enough to see it, if only we're brave enough to be it.

- [sighs] Wow, I get chills every time I hear Amanda Gorman recite her poem, "The Hill We Climb."

At just 22 years old, Amanda Gorman shared this poem with the world when Joe Biden became the 46th president, and Kamala Harris became the first female black and Asian vice president of the United States of America.

[chuckles] I love Ms. Gorman's poems because they're full of hope, unity, honesty, and justice.

So right about now you might be wondering what's this got to do with me, Zach?

Well, a lot because you could be the next Amanda Gorman.

Yes, you.

Ms. Gorman fell in love with poetry right around your age, and she worked hard to become the famous poet that she is today.

Maybe one day you will be invited to read your poetry in front of lots and lots of people.

The future is yours to write.

[audience clapping] Music, dance, magic and more, step right up to center stage.

It's Science Wow.

- Hi there, I'm Jen from Liberty Science Center, and today we're going to investigate how changing the shape of something can affect its properties.

Come on, take a look at our piece of paper.

What do you notice?

How would you describe it?

Now you might've said that it's orange, smooth or thin.

Now these characteristics are also called properties.

In science, we use properties to describe matter, that's the stuff all around us, including me and you.

Now let's think about the property of strength.

Do you think a piece of paper is strong or weak?

Is it strong enough to hold a book above the table?

Let's see, try like this.

Hmm, how about this?

Well, it sure doesn't seem like it.

I wonder what we could do to make our sheet of paper stronger.

Hmm, [gasps] I've got an idea.

What if we try changing its shape?

If you'd like to do this experiment with me, you'll need three pieces of paper, some tape and a few books for testing.

Great, now let's create our first shape, a cylinder.

Okay, so the first step to making our cylinder is to place our piece of paper flat on the table.

Now you just want to roll so that one side meets the other, and you wanna loosen it up a little bit so that it's not rolled too tightly.

Now you want those edges to meet and you're going to tape them together to form a cylinder.

Place your cylinder aside for now so we can create our next shape, a triangular prism.

We'll start off making our triangular prism in the same way as our cylinder with our piece of paper flat on the table.

Now we wanna fold it two times.

So I'm going to take one side and fold it right to the middle, making sure I pressed down my edges.

And then I'm going to take this piece and fold it again.

This time, all the way to the end.

Now I can open up my paper, and it should be in the shape of a triangle.

I just wanna tape those edges together so that I have my triangular prism.

Let's place our triangular prism with our cylinder for now so we can make our last shape, a rectangular prism.

Onto our last shape.

Now I bet you know what to do by now.

Place your piece of paper flat on the table, and this time we're going to fold it three times.

So I want to take my first side or edge and I wanna fold it right before I reach the middle.

I don't wanna quite get to the middle.

All right, and I'm just gonna push down my edge.

Now I'm gonna fold it on again, and this time I wanna make sure that I get just a bit before the end, okay?

So we don't want it to go all the way to the end because we're going to fold the whole thing again so that our two sides meet.

Now, when we open this up, we can unfold it into the shape of a rectangular prism.

Now we wanna tape our edges.

Your rectangular prism should look like this.

We transformed our paper into three different shapes, and now it's time to test.

But before we do, let's make a prediction.

Do you think changing the shape of the paper will make it stronger?

If you do, which one of our three shapes do you think will be the strongest?

Okay, time to see if our predictions were correct.

Now, you can test them out with me if you'd like.

All right, I'm gonna start with the triangular prism.

Okay, can this piece of paper holds a book?

Let's see.

Wow, we've got one.

Can we do two?

Hmm, oh, it looks like two was the most it can hold.

Next up, rectangular prism.

One.

Okay, here we go for two.

Is it even stronger than the triangular prism?

Yes, it can hold two books so far.

Okay, let's try for three.

Three, oh my goodness.

All right, let's try for four, four.

You think I can do five?

[gasps] Hmm, five, oh, that was awesome no, five was the most it can hold.

This was a super strong shape.

Let's try out our last shape, this cylinder, okay.

One, let's try for two.

Two, you think it'll hold three?

Three, no problem.

All right, here we go for four.

Four, okay, this is awesome.

Let's try five, five.

Do you think it can do six?

Six.

How about the two that's left?

I'm just gonna put them both on and see what happens.

Seven, eight.

And it's about as tall as me.

Whoa, our experiments showed that changing the shape of paper can make it stronger with our mighty, the cylinder being the strongest shape.

That's because it's the only shape that has no edges.

So when we put books on the cylinder, the whole cylinder can hold them up.

But when we put books on our rectangular, and triangular prism, the weight of the books goes all to the corners, which aren't very strong.

[laughs] Thanks so much for joining me today, scientists.

Bye for now.

- [Zach] Daytime or nighttime, it's always time for story time.

Oh, hi, welcome back.

I was just looking over my dream journal.

It's something I keep by my bedside, and when I wake up in the morning, I write my dreams down in it.

Well, at least the ones I can remember.

Everyone dreams and some are masters at writing about them.

Take Poet Robert Louis Stevenson for example.

He lived back in the 1800s and is famous for his imaginative poetry, novels and short stories.

Some of his best known work is written for kids.

Maybe you've heard of the book "Treasure Island."

Stevenson had a gift for using descriptive language that brought his poems to life.

Case in point, this book, "The Land of Nod" which is based on one of his poems.

Should we give it a try?

"The Land of Nod" by Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert Hunter.

From breakfast on through all the day at home among my friends I stay.

But every night I go abroad, afar into the land of Nod.

All by myself I have to go with none to tell me what to do.

All alone beside the streams and up the mountain sides of dreams.

The strangest things are there for me both things to eat and things to see, and many frightening sites abroad.

'Till morning in the land of Nod.

Try as I like to find the way I never can get back by day nor can remember plain and clear the curious music that I hear.

Sweet dreams.
