Lauren's Little Bedtime Stories
Gerald the frog has formed a committee. Someone, he feels, should really be in charge of when it rains — and that someone is going to be him. The Official Rainstorm Committee convenes on a flat rock beside the pond with five members: Gerald, who has a gavel and an agenda; Dorothy the duck, who votes in favor of rain on every single item regardless of what the item is; Winston the cat, who votes against rain on every single item regardless of what the item is; Edgar the worm, who brought a crumb to share and agrees with whoever spoke last; and Old Margaret the turtle, who arrived with a notepad, a pen, and the quiet certainty that this is the Mushroom Foraging Society. The committee debates, deadlocks, and adjourns — and then it rains anyway, exactly when it was going to.

Why do leaves turn red and orange and gold every fall — and where do those colors actually come from? Join Lauren and the Fact Fly (frozen in front of a glowing maple tree, convinced everything he learned about plants needs rearranging) as they investigate the hidden science of autumn color. It turns out the yellows and oranges were there all summer long, hiding behind the green — and fall doesn’t add color to a leaf. It reveals the colors that were already there.
