How the Good Dinosaur, Santa Claus, and the Green Elf saved all of the children’s presents

Welcome to our Christmas Special, starring a special guest, the six-year-old cousin of BooBooKiki, who is spending a few days with us. Building on the latter’s story idea, she convenes a good dinosaur (not THE Good Dinosaur, necessarily), a Santa (not THE Santa, because he has a twin), and a green elf. There is a stack of presents waiting for distribution to children all over the world. There is fear and trepidation when that huge mountain of goodies comes tumbling down. And you will just have to listen to discover the most amazing ending of them all.

Halloween Special: The hen, the witch, the spider, and the zombie children

It’s Halloween. Don’t listen to this story if you scare easily. It starts innocuously: the Hen can’t decide on what disguise to choose. Then a witch shows up. There’s also a spider and zombie children. You won’t believe who ends up scaring whom…

C’est rien du tout.

L’araignée Gypsie (Itsy Bitsy Spider)

Before recording the Crocodile’s Halloween Special, our three-year-old BooBoo Kiki (yes, we actually call him that…) asked to sing one of his favorite songs. He’s learned to sing this one in English at school too, but this is the French version.

L’araignée Gipsy
Monte à la gouttière.
Tiens ! Voilà la pluie…
Gipsy tombe par terre.

Mais le soleil,
A chassé la pluie.
