Magical zoo mischief · Released June 28, 2026 · 6:35
A giggly, imaginative chase through the zoo as the gang tries every trick to catch a very fast, very magical creature. The playful rhymes keep the energy light while leaving plenty of room for little ones to dream up their own magical friend.

What to expect in this episode
Kids set traps all over a zoo; the unicorn out-clevers every one with help from the animals. One line of book potty humor ("I believe they fart glitter").
The moral: Clever beats forceful — and real magic doesn't want to be caged.
Keep it going — ask your kid:
- How would you build a unicorn trap?
- Why did the zoo animals help her escape?
- Would you rather catch a unicorn or be its friend?
From our own listen-through of this episode. Asking a question or two after a story is "dialogic reading" — one of the best-evidenced boosts to early language. More on how we review everything in Parent Corner.
