What animal sidekick would you like to have? What animal can spit water up to 10 feet? What animal poofs up like a ball in the winter? Hear Rob and Laura choose what animal sidekicks are making them happy, a song about chickadees, awesome animal clues from 5 year old Tucker, and an interview with our special guest, the multi-talented science songwriter and computer science teacher Mike Wilson. What animal is making Mike happy? Here are some hints: part of its name rhymes with the word “happy” and it is a rodent.
