In the literal wake of the flooding we had here at the studio Istvan decides to take it easy and try to recharge his batteries. A much needed and well deserved story time is just the answer so Istvan’s family frog comes down to the studio to help him read one of his favorite Eric Carle books The Grouchy Ladybug. Everyone is then treated to Mr. Moon’s Song which as it turns out was most likely indirectly inspired by another Eric Carle book. So sit back and get comfy and enjoy this nice and easy episode of Istvan’s Imaginary Podcast.
