How fun!

We may have assisted a little... We were impatient little kids.

We used to catch these spiders as kids and bring them to the garden to protect. Watching them capture and wrap a grasshopper at amazing speeds is still a core memory!

I loved the show and the tie-ins to learn about cool things.
Reading Rainbow was absolutely inspiring for me, wondering how things came to be.
Maybe why I love to physically do things I write about. I've dug for fossils and met an elephant.

Loved Richard Scary!!!

Exactly! And some were performers who could pull you in. They knew how to play those *pauses*, when to read fast, when to whisper. I remember scooting forward in my seat waiting to hear the next parts.
Reading aloud is magic and probably why some will always love audio books too.

Somewhere in Maryland they had a Poe Performance that ran through the 6ish most popular Poe stories and had the best Poe impersonator. So worth seeing!
