What the cast said
Welcome back to StoryBeam, the daily podcast where imagination shines bright.
I'm Kat.
I'm Allison.
Happy Saturday Splash.
It's time for our Saturday Splash and today we are buckling our seatbelts and taking off
into the clouds.
Our StoryBeam is shining a light on a big first adventure as we read Bearplane! by Deborah
Underwood.
The little bear is taking his first plane ride to visit Grandma.
There are tickets to scan, suitcases to pack, tray tables to lock, and clouds to watch out
the window.
Let's join little bear and his toy stuffed bear as they take to the skies.
Let's get our ears on.
I've got mine.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Here the cast reads Bearplane! by Deborah Underwood. The book's own words stay with its author and publisher, so that part of the recording is not written out. Press play to hear it.
Flying on an airplane for the first time can be so exciting.
Look at how brave little Bear was during the bumpy parts.
Co-host, what is your favorite part about going on a big trip?
I think that it feels fun and if you do it for the first time it seemed funner.
And what's your favorite part about being inside the airplane?
I think the bumpiness.
The bumpiness? Yeah, I would have to agree.
What's your favorite thing to say when we hit turbulence?
Again, again!
That's right.
Grown-ups, if your little travelers are getting ready for a trip or just love vehicles,
our StoryBeam suggestion is...
Maisy Goes on a Plane by Lucy Cousins.
It's a wonderful, clear, and reassuring look at airports for toddlers.
