    What is JoJo you are loving and caring you are loving to all children in the world and I think you’re a great woman you can always be somebody who’s never been a you are a woman of pride and joy I think you are one of the best readers I’ve ever known in my life you are all peoples favorite person that they read so maybe you should keep it up and have a great time doing your job I wish I could have the guts to do it as you do I don’t really like reading in front of people kind of scares me sometimes and I was thinking to be scary in life right and I think that you are a great young woman and you will stay that wayFromTobiasHi Mrs. Jo Jo we really really like listening to your voice on the stories Tobias really likes your stories more than anybody else’s and he’s also a good reader and he’s going to get better reading out loud every day.

    Recent Episode: Shaking hands
    I loved this episode! So many of the folktales I’ve listened to have “questionable” morality. This one was great though: “Sometimes it’s better to work smart than hard.” Okay! 👏🏽 I’ll be listening to this with my 6 yo daughters. Please keep them coming!
