Old Mrs. Moody has a terrible cold, and while she waits to see the doctor, Catbaloo tells her the story of Anderson Kate and the Goody Goat Cart—a beautiful story of giving.

Anderson Kate is a little girl who lives on the mountaintop. One day, she and her mother bake a chocolate cake for Grandmother’s birthday. They place the cake in a little cart, pulled by two darling goats, and Anderson takes it down the mountain to the village in the valley where her grandmother lives. On her way, she hears the troubles of her neighbors and gives them each a piece of the chocolate cake. By the time she reaches her grandmother’s house, not even one piece left.

But wonderful things begin to happen on her way back up the mountain. At each stop, she discovers that one neighbor has exactly what another neighbor needs. By the time she arrives back home, everyone’s needs have been met.

Anderson Kate carried love, hope, and happiness all the way down—and all the way back up—the mountainside.

I hope this story fills your heart with the very same.

"A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."

Proverbs 11:25 (NIV)

There is something strange going on at Uncle Henry’s farm. The chickens have stopped laying eggs, the cows aren’t giving any milk and none of the animals will eat their dinner. Even worse—they’re all in a terribly bad mood.

When Uncle Henry calls Catbaloo for help, she picks up Old Mrs. Moody along the way, and the two of them set off on a road trip to solve the farmyard mystery.

But when their car won’t start, they have to push it down the street to Haney’s Service Station. Maybe Mr. Haney can help! Is it a loose fan belt? Trouble under the hood? Or do they just need some good gas in the tank?

Your kiddos will discover that just like cars need fuel, animals—and people—need the right kind of food to stay healthy, happy, and strong!

Kiddos can join Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo in a lively song all about eating well:

“Try some carrots and lettuce, you’ll never regret it. Tomatoes, potatoes, and peas.

If you fill up on cookies, you’re going to feel grumpy, it’s good food for your body you need”

Come and listen to this beautifully recorded episode—you’ll learn a little about cranky farm animals and a lot about filling your tummies and tanks with the right kind of fuel

As always, it was pure delight to create this episode for you and your little loves to enjoy together.

Proverbs 25:16 NLT

Do you like honey? Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!

Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo are raking and digging and hoeing—getting the ground ready to plant a community pumpkin patch.

As they begin to plant the pumpkin seeds, Catbaloo is reminded of her favorite story about seeds. It’s the story of Pipi Pumpkinseed—a wise big brother mouse. With no food at home to feed his nine baby brothers and sisters, Pipi must venture out into the world to find them something to eat.

When he returns with ten pumpkin seeds, he gives them sage advice: They can eat their seeds, and have full tummies for one night, or they can plant their seeds and have full tummies every night—forever. But they were too hungry to care about planting, or the future, and they each decided to eat their seeds at once. But Pipi didn’t. Pipi planted his seed. Soon his one little pumpkin seed grew enough food to feed every mouse in every house in the county!

This story is a story about the incredible miracle of seedtime and harvest. There is a lot to be learned from Pipi and his little pumpkin seed.

Come listen in and learn a little bit about gardening and a lot about hope, faith, and love.

It was pure joy to produce this episode for you and your little loves to listen to together.

1 Corinthians 3:7

It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow.
