0:01
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Realized Charnard's Story Hour. As a reminder,
0:05
RADIOI is a reading service intended for people who are
0:08
blind or have other disabilities that make it difficult to
0:12
read printed material. Today, we will be reading from various
0:16
books on Passover. Your reader today is Diane. We will
0:21
begin with the book Izzy the Whiz and Passover McLean.
0:27
It was published by Carbin Publishing and it has a
0:31
copyright ear of twenty twelve. The author of the book
0:36
is yelle MERM. Milli Stein. Izzy the Whiz is so busy.
0:43
He is tweaking with beakers that bub wants, is inventing
0:46
machines that can think, blink and talk, machines of your
0:50
dreams that can wiggle and walk. Now, with passovercoming, his
0:55
rooms filled with clutter like gadgets and gizmos that whistle
0:59
and spell. Come into his world and you'll see what
1:03
I mean. As we watch him inventing pass Over McLean.
1:07
His mother came in and she said, Izzy, please, there's
1:11
hamlets all over. I'm starting to wheeze. The rooms are
1:16
still swarming with cookies and bread. That mouse in the
1:19
corner is nibbling a shred. There's cake in your clawsets
1:23
and crumbs in your shoes. Do you blame me for
1:26
having pre passed over blues? Dear Izzy, I need to
1:31
lie down in my bed. I'm getting a bread ache
1:34
right here in my head. Don't worry, said Izzy. It's
1:38
almost complete. My brand new invention will make the house neat.
1:43
Go rest, take usnooze, sleep at least until two. When
1:47
I finish, there won't be a thing left to chew.
1:51
A squeak and a twiddle for drops of red ink,
1:54
a tweak and a fiddle. It's working. I think his
1:57
special invention, his brand Newnessshie, the super mcdooper passed over McLean.
2:03
Izzy pressed the red button. McClean lurched in words. He
2:08
cranked the green handle. It belched and it purred. Then
2:12
the hungry machine chopped and books for its lunch, gobbled
2:16
the rug and continued to lunch. The curtains, the shelves,
2:20
and the mattress were fed to McClean, who then ate
2:25
a large chair in a bed. They whirled, and they swirled,
2:30
and they curled up inside, where the crumbs were all
2:33
cleaned and the toys washed and dried. McClean then completed
2:37
a quick about face and spit each thing out, put
2:41
it back at his place. Izzy checked everything with the
2:45
back of his thumb. Not a flake, not a cake,
2:48
not a cookie or a crumb. Then he tugged, and
2:51
he lugged his machine down the stairs and he parked
2:55
it right next to the dining room chairs. Now Izzy
2:58
would clean up the living room too. It would make
3:00
his mom dizzy what Izzy could do with a word
3:04
and purr. The machine started up, and a fork whist
3:08
right by, with a plate and a cup. Then a
3:10
table flew by with a new cordless phone, then a
3:14
desk and a computer and a paperweight stone. All were blown.
3:18
All were thrown into Izzy's machine, a pre holiday feast
3:22
for passover. McLean but oh my, what is this? Smells
3:27
of smoke, reams of steam, then a spark it went dark.
3:31
Oh poor mister McClean. Izzy whisked out his turbo light,
3:36
shined it about, but it didn't look good. Things were
3:39
not coming out. He would have to tell mother that
3:42
he'd really tried, But the living room sadly was stuck
3:47
there inside. But wait, not too late. The emergency hatch.
3:52
Izzy flipped McClean over and looked for the latch. He
3:55
pulled out a super knife screwdriver tool. He checked in
3:59
his book for the malfunction rule. He turned a few
4:03
screws and he twisted the knife. Then a wink and
4:05
a blank, and McClean came to life. I he pressed
4:09
the red button emergency too, and then out of the hatch.
4:13
The whole living room flew, but Izzy's white smile sagged
4:18
into a frown as he watched all the furniture land
4:21
upside down. The couch with its legs poking straight in
4:25
the air, an overturned table in upside down chair, a
4:29
carpet spread out with the rough side on top like
4:32
fit sures hung backwards, already to drop. Just then he
4:37
heard slippers pad into the room. Oh, Izzy said mother.
4:41
He shivered with gloom. He looked at his watch. It
4:44
was just one fifteen. His mom was too early. She
4:48
looked at the scene. Oh goodness, she said, but I
4:53
must go back in. I have to lie down. I
4:56
can feel my headspin. I thought I was better, she said,
5:00
said with the frown, But I'm clearly not well. The
5:03
whole rooms upside down? What a tizzy? Thought Izzy, Things
5:08
couldn't be worse. So as soon as his mom left
5:12
is he jammed on reverse and reverse did the trick
5:17
that Nick qlean was so slick, turned the whole room
5:19
right over and did it real quick, and the house
5:24
gleaned and sparkled. The room was so bright when they
5:27
sat down to sit her on passovernight. No cookies or crumbs,
5:32
said his mom. Not a shred, it's passover clean, not
5:36
a speck of real bread. How beautifully dusted, How wonderfully clean?
5:42
Thanks to him, Izzy said, as he winked at Nick clean.
5:48
Our next book is called Pippa's Passover Plate and it
5:52
was published by Holiday House and it has a copyright
5:55
year of twenty nineteen. The author of our book is
6:00
Vivian kirk Fields Harry Scurry. Pippa mouth washing, scrubbing, cleaning
6:06
house Passover starts at six to night, cedter mill by candlelight, hustle, bustle,
6:14
lots to do. Pippa stves e chicken stew, sets the table.
6:18
All looks great. Where's the special cedterplate. Peppa searches in
6:24
a band, finds her missing rolling pin. Pippa opens up
6:28
a box filled with eighteen holy socks. Pippa climbs up
6:32
on a chair stretches up the cupboards, bear teeter totter,
6:37
hold on tight wibble, wobble, What a fright? Pippa runs
6:42
out to the yard, sphink. The cat is standing guard.
6:46
Quiver quaver shiver shake, cats make Pippa cringe and quake. Pippa,
6:53
though afraid to stir, gently, strokes the velvet fur. Have
6:57
you seen my cetter plate? Sunsets soon? It's getting late? No,
7:03
purse cat. Go ask the snake slither sliding near the
7:07
lake quiver, quaver, shiver, shake. Snake makes pip A cringe
7:14
and quake. Pippa scrambles down the lane. Offer snake a
7:18
daisy chain. Have you seen my sed or plate? Sunset soon?
7:23
It's getting late. No, I haven't, snake replies, Go ask
7:28
ol she's old and wise. Quiver quaver shiver, shake, owl
7:34
makes pip A cringe and quake stumble tumble down the trail.
7:39
Pip A prey. She will not fell in the quiet
7:43
woodland glade. Owl sits in a leafy shade. Have you
7:46
seen my c set or plate? Sunset soon? It's getting late. No,
7:52
I haven't said seen the dish? Why not question? Go
7:57
to fish, Go to loves to primp and preen. She
8:00
was once a beauty queen. Setter plate is made of brass,
8:04
shining like a looking glass at the water near the edge.
8:08
Pippa climbs up on a hedge, thinks she spies a
8:12
goldfin splash. Poor mouse has fallen in at the bottom
8:17
something round. Can you guess what? Pipa found ball and coin,
8:22
an o tin can, bottle cap and rusty pan globe
8:26
to circumnavigate. Best of all the setter plate. Fish swims
8:31
up with mouse and toe to the cutter. All will
8:34
go Pippa and the other's cheer. Life is good when
8:39
friends are near. Our next book is called Is it
8:45
Passover Yet? It was published by Albert Whitman in Company,
8:51
and it has a copyright year of twenty fifteen. It
8:57
was written by Chris Barrash. When spring flowers bloom and
9:04
grass starts to grow, and the warm sun has melted
9:08
the old winter snow, Passover is on its way. When
9:12
we see from the window a robin or wren and
9:16
squirrels play high up in the tree. Once again, passover
9:20
is on its way. When everyone scurries from room to room,
9:25
the bucket and mopp are long handle broom. Passover is
9:29
on its way when all the windows and floors start
9:32
to shine, and our whole house smells clean and looks
9:36
extra fine. Passover is on its way when our fanciest
9:40
dishes come out of the drawer and Elijah's cut sparkles
9:44
like diamonds galore. Passover is on its way when our
9:49
house smells of Google and sweet mat Mon's o cake
9:54
and Simmon for the shelfs that we'll make. Passover is
9:58
on its way when the sun one's getting low and
10:01
the doorbell stops ringing, and everyone's ready for stories and singing,
10:07
When the satyr is ready and candles are lit, and
10:12
Nana's shown everyone just where to sit. Passover is here.
10:18
Our next set of books are on weather and the
10:21
first one is titled Thunder and Lightning. It was published
10:26
by Heinemann Library and Imprintive Capstone Global Library and it
10:32
has a copyright year of twenty fifteen. The author of
10:37
our story is Helen Cox Canyons. What is thunder? Thunder
10:45
is the sound of lightning. You cannot see thunder, but
10:48
you can hear it. Thunder can sound like a low
10:50
rumble or a loud crack. What is lightning? Lightning is
10:55
a bright flash of electricity in the sky. Lightning comes
10:59
from a cloud. A storm with thunder or lightning is
11:02
called a thunderstorm. How does lightning happen? When the sun
11:08
warms water, some water becomes a gas called vapor. Vapor
11:12
rises into the air. The rise in water vapor cools
11:16
and forms a cloud. As more vapor rises, the cloud
11:20
gets bigger and bigger. Frozen rain drops inside the clouds
11:24
start to bump into each other. As they bump into
11:28
each other, the frozen rain drops make electricity. This electricity
11:32
turns into lightning. When does lightning happen. Lightning can happen
11:37
when it is warm. Lightning can happen when it rains.
11:42
Types of lightning. Some lightning stays in a cloud. Some
11:46
lightning strikes the ground. Lightning can be very dangerous. Lightning
11:52
often strikes high places or tall things. If you hear thunder,
11:57
it means that lightning is close by. It is best
12:00
to stay inside when you hear thunder. What is good
12:04
about thunder and lightning? Thunder and lightning can be exciting.
12:08
Thunderstorms help us see the power of weather. Lightning is
12:14
about six times hotter than the sun. Our next book
12:20
is called Dangerous Weather and it was published by Rourk
12:24
Educational Media and it has a copyright year of twenty twenty.
12:32
It was written by Mary Shoe Bad Weather. What's that
12:39
loud sound. It's thunder A thunderstorm is on its way.
12:44
Thunderstorms are one type of dangerous weather. People can get hurt.
12:48
We need to stay safe. A room with no windows
12:52
on the lowest floor of a building is a safe place.
12:56
A tornado spins across the land. It moves about twenty
13:00
eight miles an hour. It's powerful. Big waves crash on
13:05
the shore. It's a hurricane. Hurricanes are tropical storms. They
13:09
bring wind and rain. Sometimes it is safe as to
13:13
leave the area when a hurricane is coming. Rain and
13:17
snow crops are dying. The soil is very dry. No
13:22
rain has fallen, a drought has begun, the rain doesn't stop.
13:27
Rivers fill up. The town might flood. Leavies help keep
13:31
the water away. A co wind blows, lots of snowfalls.
13:36
Roads are closed. A blizzard is here. Staying safe. A
13:42
loud siren blairs a storm is coming. We go to
13:46
a safe place. Listen to your local weather channel for
13:50
safety tips during a storm. Our next book is called
13:56
What Does Sunlight Do? And it was published by Learner
14:00
Publishing Group, has a copyright year of twenty fifteen and
14:04
the author is Jennifer booth Royd's sunlight comes from the sun.
14:10
The Sun is a star. We need light to see.
14:13
The Sun gives us light. Sunlight brightens the sky. The
14:18
sun even makes light on cloudy days. The sun rises
14:22
early in the morning. It can peek through trees. Sunlight
14:28
is strong in the early afternoon. It climbs higher later
14:32
in the day. The sun sets in the evening. By
14:37
nighttime it is dark. The moon gives a little light.
14:41
It reflects the Sun's light. Sunlight gives us heat. It
14:45
heats the ground. The ground is hot and dry. Sunlight
14:50
warms animals, such as a lizard. It gets heats from
14:54
the sun. It heats water. Sunlight is stronger in summer.
15:00
There is less sunlight in winter. Sunlight has many uses.
15:04
Clothes dry and the sunlight. Plants need sunlight to grow.
15:09
Our bodies need sunlight to make vitamin D. Vitamin D
15:13
makes our bones strong. We make sunlight into electricity. Why
15:21
do you like sunlight? All of our next stories are
15:26
about white and the first one is called Light. It
15:32
is published by kid Haven Publishing and Imprint of green
15:36
Haven and Publishing, and it has the copyright year of
15:41
twenty twenty four. It was written by Cheriss Mather. How
15:50
do we learn about the world. We can ask questions
15:53
about the different things we see. Scientists are people who
15:56
find ways to answer questions by doing tests. Tests help
16:01
us understand how things work. Some scientists learn about how
16:05
light works. When scientists learn something new, they write it
16:09
down so that other people can learn from it too.
16:13
We see light every day, but what is light? Light
16:16
is the thing that helps us to see the world
16:18
around us. We need light to see, but we cannot
16:21
touch it. Without light, everything would be dark. Light can
16:25
come in different colors and from lots of different places.
16:30
Sources of light. A light source is something that gives
16:34
off its own light. Some light sources are made by people,
16:38
such as light bulbs and phones that are turned on.
16:41
Some light sources are not made by people. These are
16:44
called natural sources. The sun is a natural source of
16:48
light that helps us to see during the day. Things
16:52
that do not make their own light reflect it. Reflection
16:56
is when light bounces off something. Our eyes can only
16:59
see things because of the light coming from sources or
17:02
bouncing off objects. The Moon is not a light source,
17:06
but it does reflect light from the sun. If we
17:09
can turn the sun off, we would not be able
17:12
to see the moon. When objects get in the way
17:15
of light, they cast dark shadows. Shadows change shape in
17:19
size when light sources or objects move around. Shadows can
17:25
be long or short. The sunlight makes long shadows in
17:28
the morning and evening. Shadows are the shortest in the
17:32
middle of the day. Trees cast long shadows in the
17:36
morning sunlight. There is nothing in the world that travels
17:40
faster than light. Even sound is not fast enough to
17:44
keep up with the speed of light. Have you ever
17:47
been near a thunderstorm that lightning can be seen before
17:50
the noise of thunder can be heard. This is because
17:54
light travels faster than sound. Light is very important for life.
18:00
While we use light to see, plants use it to grow.
18:03
Plants can turn light into food for themselves. Plants take
18:07
it in take in light through their leaves. When light
18:11
shines on one side of a plant, the plant will
18:13
grow toward it. Plants next to windows lean toward the sun,
18:18
which is actually a better light source than indoor lights.
18:22
Some flowers such as sunflowers, face towards the sun. Some
18:27
animals make their own light. Many animals that live in
18:30
the ocean, such as some types of jellyfish and squid,
18:34
give off light. There are also some bugs that give
18:40
off light, such as glowworms and fireflies. Fireflies can light
18:45
up a part of their body. These bugs use their
18:47
light to get attention and find a mate. Light has
18:54
many uses in everyday life. Sunlight can be very useful
18:57
for making power Solar panels like the sun's light and
19:01
turn it into electricity. Light is also useful for drying food.
19:06
People sometimes dry out tomatoes, grapes, or peppers in the sunlight.
19:11
Food dried like this will last for a long time
19:14
and have a strong flavor. Try your own tests with
19:19
light and shadows. Find a straight stick and a few
19:22
stones on a sunny morning, Find an open area of
19:26
grass or sand where you can safely leave your stick.
19:31
Get a grown up to help you find a safe place.
19:35
Pressure sticking to the ground so that it stands up.
19:38
Mark the end of a stick, shadow with a stone.
19:41
Come back later in the day to check if the
19:44
shadow has moved. Our next book is called Lights, Day
19:52
and Night. The science of how light works. And it
19:55
was published by Kids Can Press and it has a
20:00
copyright year of twenty twenty one. The author of our
20:03
book is Susan Hughes. Summer, A cloudy night, no moon
20:10
or stars. The sky is so dark. Then a firefly,
20:15
such a tiny insect, but it lights it. But it's
20:19
the light glows brightly in the darkness. Then a breeze
20:24
picks up. The tree tops bend and sway, and the
20:27
sky begins to clear. Oh. Look, the sky is full
20:31
of stars. They are millions of miles away, but their
20:36
light travels all the way from there to here. The
20:40
star is a spinning ball of gases made of matter
20:43
that isn't liquid or solid. The center of a star
20:46
incredibly hot. The heat creates an enormous amount of energy,
20:51
making the star glow. The firefly and the stars are
20:55
part of nature. The light they make is natural light.
20:59
The sun, which is also a star, makes natural light too,
21:03
And there are other kinds of natural light. Lightning flashing
21:07
across the sky, a forest fire, of volcano, the northern lights.
21:13
When you snuggle down a night to read a bedtime story,
21:16
do you need a light During the day. Sighted people
21:19
can use light from the sun to sea. But sunlight
21:22
isn't always available, and no one can see without some
21:26
kind of light. When there is no natural light, people
21:32
find ways to make light. They burn wood, wax, or oil.
21:36
They use electricity to make artificial light. Artificial light needs
21:40
a source of energy, like electricity. Many of us use
21:44
electricity to power our lights, keep us warm, and charge
21:49
our screens. We use light to communicate. A lighthouse being
21:53
guide ships at sea. Traffic lights control the flow of traffic,
21:58
the scoreboard at a hockey game and keeps track of goes.
22:02
A flashing light tells you your friend is at the door.
22:06
All life on our planet depends on light from the sun.
22:10
Sunlight warms the air, the seas, and the land, making
22:13
Earth a perfect home for us and other living things.
22:17
Green plants need sunlight to grow, and plants make the
22:20
auxygen that we all need to breathe. Sunlight is an
22:23
important part of the water cycle. Sunlight heats water in oceans, rivers,
22:27
and lakes. The water turns into vapor, tiny drops of
22:31
water in the air. The vapor rises into the sky
22:34
to fall again as rain round and round and goes.
22:39
Without any sunlight, Earth would be dark and covered in ice,
22:43
there wouldn't be any life here at all. What is light?
22:47
It's a kind of energy. It travels out in all directions,
22:50
but it moves in straight lines. Light travels through space
22:54
or air until it hits something. What happens when light
22:59
hits a solid object like a cement, while a book,
23:02
or a metal door. These objects are opick. They block
23:07
lights from traveling all the way through them. Many opeque
23:10
objects absorb or take in light. Your body is opick.
23:14
Can you see your shadow? That's your body absorbing light
23:17
and blocking its path. You and your friends can make
23:22
shadow puppets with light. But not all light is absorbed
23:26
into opaque object. Some of the light reflects or bounces off.
23:30
That's how we see things. The reflected light travels through
23:34
a hoe in your eye, the pupil, and onto the retina,
23:38
a thin layer of tissue at the back of your eye.
23:41
This tissue turns light energy into signals, and the optic
23:45
nerve carries those signals to your brain like a mountain
23:49
in the distance or a cat, Hey, where's the cat.
23:54
So we can see objects that give off their own light.
23:57
We can also see objects that reflect light to our eyes.
24:01
Now shine a light through the piece of tissue paper.
24:04
Why does it look blurry? Tissue paper is translucent. It
24:08
reflects or absorbs much of the light. Only a little
24:11
light passes through. When light travels through a window, a
24:14
little of it reflects off the glass, but most of
24:17
it passes right through. The glass is transparent or see
24:21
through light glass. Water is also transparent. Light can pass
24:25
through it, but when light hits water, it slows down,
24:29
just like how water slows you down when you run
24:32
in a lake or swimming pool. The water also makes
24:35
the light refract or bends. Some animals, like cats, raccoons, possums,
24:41
and owls, have eyes that work better at night than
24:43
human eyes. They don't need much light to see. Owls
24:47
can be better at night than some people do in
24:50
bright daylight. A cat's pupils can open much wider than
24:58
human pupils. This allows their eyes to take in loss
25:01
of light, helping them to see better in the dark.
25:05
Lighting up the darkness is a perfect way to celebrate,
25:09
and when we turn the lights out, it's a perfect
25:11
time to sleep. Good night lights. This concludes our children's
25:18
story effort today. Please join us next time, as we
25:21
will read more stories fables and fairy tales. Thank you
