This one is just fun to sing! Simple, easy, and I can hardly wait to share it with my grandkids!

GO AWAY MR WOLF Video Jun 19, 2025 (VEED)

I'm not totally sure of how I feel about the actual story, "Go Away, Mr Wolf," because the original story gives the same, if not an even better message + built in messages about self reliance, hard work vs sloth, etc...in a more appealing, less didactic way. What are your thoughts on the story? Nevertheless, our school chose this book and I've tried to sync this sung version to the old "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" More importantly, I'm really happy to be trying out VEED's first tier subscription -- it's a much clearer version of my amateur attempt!

Today Is Monday, Eric Carle

Learning how to use VEED is a satisfying journey because they've made it quite user-friendly for dino's like me! I'm going to keep plugging away until I figure out how to actually do this (will need to enlist others to create what I have in mind), but we've increased our summer camp by 2, so it's working! Enjoy!

They All Saw a Cat

You know how the really great stories have layers of meaning that resonate more deeply with the passage of time? This is one of those: fun and enjoyable for kidlets but an undeniably noteworthy life lesson for all of us!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

It seems like everyone we read and sing about lately is so hungry! Hmm, why is Dragon, The Wolf, and of course, Very Hungry Caterpillar insatiably hungry? Well, maybe we should be hungry too, for LEARNING new things every single day of our lives, just like them! I know these little videos are so far from being as professional as is expected on YouTube, but, I'm approaching this in the same way as learning any new thing. Hoping you'll see some better quality with time and practice! My grandkids enjoy these as do the littles we teach online, so this is for them and those like them!

Dragon's Fat Cat Video Jun 3, 2025 VEED

It's so exciting when an app is user friendly to someone like me! I've got A LOT to learn with VEED, but am enjoying the journey! I borrowed some cat images from the internet, hope that's ok, for this story, along with my own dog (who didn't want to share in Dragon's diet and she doesn't "roll over" either -- having never been taught). The captions were autogenerated for my partner in Beijing, so please pardon the typos, but here goes...!

A Friend for Dragon Chapter 1

Intro to A Friend for Dragon chapter books

These little videos are so fun to make! Decided this next one will be recorded outdoors, since the story takes place outside, too!

Twinkle and Luna as a Musical promo

To grow our little online school, Eva is organizing a summer camp for our students in Beijing this summer. My part is primarily to make a little musical with the students, using my book, Twinkle and Luna. Since it's a song anyway, doing this is a decade old dream! We only need a few more students to sign up with us to make it really happen, so warm wishes are welcome!

A Letter (from Frog to Toad!)

For our little online school based in Beijing, this is the 4th chapter video I've made, but I like this format the most so far! Creating and then staging the inserted photos around my neighborhood was a blast!! Also, this is one of my favorite chapters because Frog is Toad's friend through sadness and joy, as he fulfills Toad's life-long wish of getting a letter in the mail from a friend! Again, yes, this is created for young folks, but not exclusively, so I'm not labeling it as such. Enjoy and please feel free to use this to read along with your own kids at home or at school!
