Hello Super Great Kids and how are you?
Did you have a good week?
Have you been able to visit the sea this summer?
We're telling water themed stories this month to keep us all cool.
This week we hear a seaside how and why story told by Emily Hennessey who lives near a very big beach in the north of England called Morecambe Bay.
I wonder if you live near a beach.
Stories are quite often inspired by the places where we live.
People look at the mountains or the lakes or the and then they make up a story about it.
Well today's how and why story was inspired by Morecambe Bay and the curlews the birds which live along its shore.
If you listen carefully in this story you might even hear the sound of the curlew calling.
Just before we hear from Emily here's a little question for you.
Which is your favorite noise in stories?
Do you like a hooting owl or a howling wolf or do you prefer a creaking door?
The storyteller Jason Buck is particularly brilliant at making noises or sound effects
as we call them.
There are lots in his story the old woman and the pig which is episode 137
