Tanya Sea Turtle goes exploring and finds a sunken ship. Will she find any treasure?
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 3:47
A Different Kind of Treasure Excerpt:
It was a clear and still night out on the ocean. The moon’s silvery glow reflected on the water’s surface, swaying back and forth, back and forth. Tanya the Sea Turtle glided through the waves with grace and purpose. She loved exploring, and she often ventured beyond Ahway Island’s colorful reef and seaweed forests. Nighttime was her favorite time to explore the ocean’s secrets.
Tonight was a perfect night for adventure. The ocean was alive with beauty. As Tanya swam away from her comfy turtle nest, she watched the coral cast dancing shadows on the seabed and tiny fish dart in and out of the seaweed. Further and further she swam. The moonlight from above shined through the waves, making everything look magical.

Pete Pine invites his tree friends to start a new tradition!
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 3:59
The Gratitude Circle Excerpt:
At the edge of the Ahway Island forest, near the bed of a small creek, where sweet songs of birds filled the air, stood Pete Pine, a wise and friendly pine tree. Pete’s branches stretched out proudly, reaching toward the sky. He loved his peaceful home and cherished the company of his fellow tree friends. Every day, as the sun rose over the horizon, Pete felt grateful for the beauty that surrounded him.
One sunny morning, the air was crisp and cool, and the sky was a brilliant blue dotted with fluffy white clouds. Pete’s needles shimmered as they caught the golden rays of sunlight. Pete took a deep Dragon Breath, in and out, (deep breath), and he felt gratitude wash over him as it did every day. He was thankful for the beautiful morning.

The cave is quiet and dark this morning. At the cave’s entrance Dragon discovers why. Dragon is snowed in! How will Dragon get outside to play?
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 8:40
Snowed In Excerpt:
Dragon yawned and stretched, feeling fully rested and ready to start the day. Quiet filled the cozy cave. Usually Dragon could hear the forest animals scurrying about getting their breakfast. Dragon smiled, picturing the squirrels digging up a filling breakfast, and wondered whether the squirrels had already eaten today. Then Dragon realized it was also darker in the cave than usual. Was it cloudy? Maybe it was snowing. Dragon hurried to the cave’s entrance to see what fun today would bring. Then Dragon realized why it was so quiet and dark. From the floor to the ceiling of the entrance to the cave, fluffy snow had piled up. The snow glowed softly, as light filtered through. Dragon sighed, and took a deep breath, in and out. Before Dragon could play with the forest animals, the snow would need to be moved.

Betty Bunny is pretty curious when a new Bunny arrives at her house and it doesn’t hop around.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 5:12
Silent Statue Excerpt:
On a quiet day in the little house where Betty Bunny lived, the sunbeams slanted through the windows, painting warm, golden patches on the floor. Betty Bunny was having a perfectly lazy afternoon, basking in the sunlight and absorbing its rays with her fluffy tan and white fur.
Before this tranquil moment, she had been quite busy. Betty had hopped around the living room, her long ears flopping playfully, and nibbled on her favorite carrot greens until her tummy was content. But now, it was time to relax.
With a big yawn, Betty settled into the coziest sunbeam she could find. She stretched out her back legs, her bunny toes wiggling with delight. The sunlight made her fur glisten, and Betty felt like a little queen of her domain.

Britney plays basketball with her dad, but it proves harder than she thought.
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 4:48
Happy Hoops Excerpt:
It was a sunny, warm afternoon on Ahway Island. A gentle breeze lazily rustled through the leaves on the trees that dotted the land around the homes in the town. A group of finches twittered a cheerful tune as they flitted this way and that in the air, playing an energetic game of tag. Rays of sunshine sparkled through the windows of the living room of the Love family home. Britney Love was eagerly waiting for her dad, Mr. Love, to finish putting away the clean dishes in the kitchen.
Britney was excited because her dad was going to teach her how to shoot hoops today. Britney had never learned how to play basketball before, but she always had fun with her dad, no matter what the activity was.

What a beautiful morning! Ella is excited to meet her new friend Kumar for a park picnic, but first It’s time for breakfast. What will they do today?
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 10:09
Park Picnic Excerpt:
Sunshine slipped through the blinds into Ella’s room. The happy sunshine brightened her room, gently waking the little girl. Ella stretched and then hopped out of bed with a smile. Today, she was going to meet her new friend, Kumar, in the park. Ella got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast. As usual, she was the first one up, so, Ella began to set the table. As she placed the napkins and silverware at each seat, her dad came downstairs and said, “Thank you for setting the table. I guess I’d better get cooking.” Ella gave her dad a big hug and finished setting the table. The scent of breakfast cooking wafted upstairs, waking Tracy, Tom and their mother. They eagerly sat down at the table and gobbled up the food Ella and her dad had made. Breakfast done, their mom said, “Enjoy your day at the park Ella, we’ll clean up the breakfast dishes.” Ella grinned and looked at the clock. It was time to go and meet Kumar.
Ella skipped all the way to the park. Once the park was in sight Ella began searching for any sign of Kumar. She couldn’t find him anywhere. Ella turned to her dad and asked, “I don’t see Kumar anywhere.”

Wylie and Woodie the wombats have some nighttime fun, but an unexpected visitor shows up!
Narrator: Female
Story Begins: 4:26
Wombat Whimsy Excerpt:
It was a beautiful Ahway Island evening. The sky glowed with reds, pinks, oranges and purples, pretty as a painting. As the sun sank lower, the sky turned into a cozy, deep, deep blue blanket. Up above, the moon shined bright light a lantern, and the stars twinkled and sparkled.
In the heart of the forest, amidst the tall trees, a curious little wombat named Woodie slowly peeked out of his burrow. He wanted to see if any of his forest friends were awake and ready to have some nighttime fun. He sniffed the fresh breeze and took a deep dragon breath, in and out. It was crisp and refreshing, which meant it was a perfect night to play outside!
As he enjoyed the fresh air, another furry face popped out of a nearby burrow. It was Wylie Wombat, Woodie’s best buddy, and he had that look in his eyes that said he was all set for a nighttime adventure. When Woodie saw Wylie, his smile grew even bigger. “Hey, Wylie! Are you up for some playtime?” he asked.

In a Fix Excerpt:
It was a sunny day on Ahway Island, and colorful flowers were in full bloom everywhere. A gentle breeze rustled their colorful petals, making them seem like they were dancing a joyful dance.
Outside the cozy Ahway Island flower shop, Gabby delivery truck sat, listening the birds’ happy tunes and enjoying the warm sunshine. She was just waiting – she was all set for her deliveries with the florist, Jordan. Gabby really liked delivering flowers. Whenever she and Jordan arrived with their flower bunches, everyone’s faces lit up with huge smiles. Making others happy was one of the best things about her flower deliveries!
Usually, Gabby and Jordan had already zoomed away from the shop, on their way to deliver their flowers. But today was a little different. Right when Jordan was about to head out, the flower shop’s phone rang.

Blanka the plush bunny waits patiently to be discovered inside a colorfully wrapped present. How will everyone react to the thoughtful gift?
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 8:07
Special Day Excerpt:
The rainbow paper wrapped box rested on the table, holding its surprise and waiting to be given away. Inside, Blanka, the happy yellow plush bunny smiled as she felt herself lifted up. She slid from side to side, cushioned by the fluffy tissue paper in the gift box. Blanka hoped she was on her way to meet the loving person who would be her friend. She heard the sound of giggles and felt the security of a tabletop beneath her once more. The fluffy yellow bunny took a deep dragon breath, in and out, as she heard the sound of the rainbow wrapping paper tearing open. Blanka adjusted her sparkling blue ribbon and put on her best smile. She was ready!
The plush bunny eagerly looked upward. As more and more light spilled into the gift box the white tissue paper began to glow. She heard rustling as the tissue paper was shuffled around. Blanka felt a giggle bubbling up from her belly as the paper fluttered around her. A gentle beam of sunshine poured through the parted tissue paper, causing Blanka’s blue ribbon to twinkle. The little bunny heard a gasp and smiled as she was lifted out of the gift box. A little girl held her out and said, “She’s just what I wanted! I love bunnies! She’s a bright sunny yellow too. Oh, look at her sparkly blue ribbon!” Then Blanka felt a comforting hug as the little girl said, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Drevan Dump Truck isn’t feeling quite his best, so Dory Dump Truck suggests he gets a check up.
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 4:48
Maintenance Day Excerpt:
Nestled on Ahway Island, there stood a snug and inviting garage, which a group of dedicated construction vehicles called home. With the arrival of each new day, the sun rose above the horizon, painting the garage with its golden rays. Inside, a little dump truck named Drevan dreamt happily about endless possibilities of the work he and his friends could accomplish together and all the people he could help.
With a gentle creak, Drevan’s big garage door began to roll open, unveiling the vast construction yard outside, bathed in the warm glow of the sun. Drevan woke up with a yawn (yawn), looking forward to what the day had to offer. As the morning light poured in through the door, drivers began to enter one by one, chatting with one another as they hopped into their respective vehicles. Gradually, each vehicle hummed to life, ready to take on the day’s tasks. Once Drevan’s engine was on, it revved cheerfully, as if to say, “I’m ready for adventure!”
