It's noon, which means Raccoon should be fast asleep - but not today! The neighborhood is full of distractions. This 6-minute tale is packed with rhyme and rhythm and features drums and guitar. 

Stick around after the story to meet the instruments with Joey! He chats with us about finding beats anywhere and everywhere. He recommends a great book: Drum Dream Girl by Margarita Engle. 

We finished up today's episode with another Silly Story! If your child would love a chance to complete next week’s Silly Story, please email their responses to the address below!
