## Resource

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. The Happiest Animal Show (on Planet Earth) is a comedy podcast for kids and families who love wildlife, with original animal songs, stories, jokes and special guests from comedians to scientists to kids. If you like lions, toucans, archerfish, capybaras or chickadees, you just might like this episode.
