  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to res Senner's Story. Hour as a
• 0:06
  Reminder is a reading service intended for people who are
• 0:10
  blind from other disabilities that make it difficult to read
• 0:13
  printed material. Today, we will continue with the book last
• 0:18
  time on the character Barcas. Your reader today is Diane.
• 0:24
  The story that we will continue with is Barkas the
• 0:28
  Most Fun and it was published by Chronicle Books. It
• 0:34
  has a copyright year of twenty twenty one and the
• 0:37
  author's Patricia nick Laughlin. And then, when it is dark,
• 0:44
  we'll do what your grandfather just always did on stormy nights,
• 0:48
  says my mother. What I ask He told stories, says mother,
• 0:53
  stories about when he was young. I'm young now, I say,
• 0:57
  I don't have any stories. We'll make up a story
• 1:00
  after dinner, says my mother. What will we call it?
• 1:03
  A winter's tale? Says my father. The story will be
• 1:07
  about us, I say, And Barcus and baby, of course,
• 1:11
  says my mother. We have dinner. Baby eats her own food.
• 1:15
  Barcus eats his food and three homemade biscuits, hiding another
• 1:19
  one in a sleeping bag for later. Outside, the wind
• 1:23
  blows small branches against the roof. My mother brings out
• 1:27
  some quilts. My father makes hot cocoa. It is time
• 1:31
  for the story. A winter's tale begins. My father Barcus
• 1:35
  thumps his tale against the floor. Not that tale, says
• 1:40
  my father. Once on a stormy night, a family cuddled
• 1:44
  in front of a roaring fire, says my father. Woof,
• 1:49
  Barcus knows he is family. I say, and baby too.
• 1:53
  Baby came to them on fairy weans, says my mother.
• 1:58
  That's not true. I say, it's a story, Nikki. Anything
• 2:01
  can be true in the story, says my mother. The
• 2:05
  dog Barcus was a master fire builder, says my father.
• 2:09
  He kept the family warm. Woof the cat Baby had
• 2:13
  brought her pen and paper. She was writing a poem
• 2:16
  about winter. I say, what was the poem, asked my mother.
• 2:20
  I think, for a moment, winter cone, a sparkling white,
• 2:23
  blowing wind all through the night. Baby wrote that, asked
• 2:28
  my father. She is a published poet. I say, and
• 2:32
  it's a story. Anything can be true. Family slept all
• 2:36
  through the night, except Barcus, who tended the fire. I yawn.
• 2:41
  My mother blows out the oil lamp and pulls her
• 2:44
  sleeping bag around her. Barkus yawns, his squeaky dog yawn?
• 2:49
  How does the story in I asked, yawning to the
• 2:53
  family lived happily after after, says my father, as expected, woof,
• 2:59
  Barcus's wolf is soft and sleepy. My eyes closed, as expected,
• 3:05
  I say our next. Such stories are about different careers
• 3:10
  that one can be when they grow up, and the
• 3:13
  first one is called I Want to Be a Teacher,
• 3:17
  and it was published by Harper an imprint of Harper
• 3:19
  Collins Publishers has a copyright Your twenty twenty one and
• 3:24
  the author is Laura Driscool. My sister Stella is learning
• 3:29
  to talk. I'm teaching her some words. Can you say Mama,
• 3:34
  I ask her. Mama, says Stella. Can you say Dad, Dad?
• 3:40
  I ask Stella Dad Dad. Stella says Dad smiles. You
• 3:46
  are a good teacher. Dad says to me. I have
• 3:49
  taught Sella to Stella to say bye bye. I have
• 3:53
  taught Stella to say no. She can even say our
• 3:57
  sister's name, Lucy. Oh see Sys Stella. I point to myself.
• 4:04
  Can you say Noah? I asked, Stella stuffed cereal into
• 4:08
  her mouth. I try again, no Ah, Noah, I say,
• 4:15
  Stella's done talking. I want Stella to learn my name.
• 4:19
  We will try again later. I tell her it is
• 4:22
  time for me to go see my own teachers. I
• 4:25
  know a lot of teachers. Miss Finch is my school teacher.
• 4:29
  In our classroom, Miss Finch teaches us to read new words.
• 4:33
  Miss Finch teaches us about important important people. Miss Finch
• 4:38
  teaches us how to be a good friend. Some days
• 4:41
  I go down the hall to Miss Boy's room. She
• 4:44
  is my speech teacher. I repeat after Miss Boyd the
• 4:49
  rabbit is out in the rain. I say, my r
• 4:53
  sounds are getting better. On other days, our class goes
• 4:56
  to the art room. Mister Case is teaching us to
• 5:00
  about the color whill did you know that red and yellow?
• 5:04
  Meg's orange? Our gym teacher, Miss Finn shows us how
• 5:07
  to play blob tag at recess. It is so tiring
• 5:12
  and so fun. You have to use teamwork for this game,
• 5:16
  Miss Finn tells us. At home, I get a snack.
• 5:20
  My sister is at the table with her math tutor.
• 5:22
  Gin Jin knows lots of cool tricks for adding big numbers.
• 5:27
  In the living room, Mom is having her tuba lesson.
• 5:30
  Her tuba teacher comes once a week. How do I sound,
• 5:34
  mom asks? I give Mom a thumbs up. She is
• 5:38
  not perfect, but she is way better than when she started.
• 5:42
  After dinner, Dad takes me to my swim lesson. My
• 5:45
  swim teacher Tim teaches me ARMStrokes and bubble blowing. At
• 5:50
  the end of the lesson, I swim across the whole pool.
• 5:54
  I knew you could do it, Tim says. The next
• 5:57
  day is Saturday. Mom takes Stella, Lucy, Rocket and me
• 6:01
  to meet another teacher. Dan is a dog trainer, a
• 6:05
  teacher for Rocket. I say, Dan nods and ads, I
• 6:10
  will also teach you how to teach Rocket. One thing
• 6:14
  Dan teaches us is not to let Rocket to eat
• 6:17
  off the table here that Stella, I say, you have
• 6:21
  to say no Rocket, No, says Stella. She shakes her
• 6:25
  head and Stella Granson points at me. No. Stella says,
• 6:31
  ah no, Noah, Stella can say my name. You did it, Stella,
• 6:38
  I say, I'm so proud of her. It feels good
• 6:41
  to be a teacher. Our next story is titled I
• 6:45
  Want to Be a Police Officer, and it was published
• 6:48
  by Harper. An imprint of Harper Collins Publishers has a
• 6:51
  copyright of twenty eighteen and the author of our book
• 6:55
  is Laura Driscool. I am learning all about bike safety.
• 7:00
  If Sir Green checks my helmet, looks good, Eva, she says,
• 7:04
  snug around your head. That stratt fits well. You are
• 7:07
  ready to ride. Officer Green is in the bike tent
• 7:11
  at Town Safety Day. She already put more air in
• 7:14
  my tires. She put a bell on my handlebars. She
• 7:18
  tested my brakes. I know Officer Green from school. Officer
• 7:22
  Green is at school when we have fire drills. I've
• 7:25
  seen Officer Green all around town. She makes me feel safe.
• 7:30
  When I grow up, I want to be just like her.
• 7:33
  I see lots of police officers at Town Safety Day.
• 7:36
  One of them has a dog. I'm Officer Bell, he says,
• 7:40
  this is Gus. Officer Bell and Gus are in the
• 7:44
  Cane nine Unit. Gus is a search and rescue dog.
• 7:48
  Gus uses his sense of smell to fine missing people,
• 7:51
  says Officer Bell. I love animals. Offerer Bell is so
• 7:56
  lucky he gets to be a police officer with a
• 7:58
  dog partner. Another police officer is making ID cards for kids.
• 8:03
  She takes my photo and my fingerprints. She tells me
• 8:07
  it will be handy for your parents to have this
• 8:10
  ID card in an emergency. The officer's name is Detective Win,
• 8:16
  a detective. I say, do you solve mysteries? Sort of?
• 8:20
  Detective Wind says, when a crime takes place, I try
• 8:24
  to find out what happened. I make a lot of
• 8:26
  phone calls. I talk to a lot of people. I
• 8:29
  ask a lot of questions. I'm good asking questions. Maybe
• 8:34
  I should be a detective. Trooper Jones is talking to
• 8:38
  kids about car safety. He lets us sit in his
• 8:41
  police car. Trooper Jones is a state trooper. His job
• 8:45
  is to keep rods and highways safe. I always wear
• 8:48
  my seatbelt. He says. It's a law that keeps us
• 8:52
  all safer. I make sure drivers follow all the rules
• 8:57
  of the road. I am pretty good remembering rules. I
• 9:01
  would probably be a good state trooper. Officer Perez hands
• 9:05
  out flowers about wilderness safety. He is the game warden.
• 9:11
  Is that like a police officer for the woods? I ask, yes,
• 9:15
  says Officer Perez. I love working in the great outdoors.
• 9:19
  On the way home, I see police officers in the
• 9:22
  parking lot. They keep the traffic moving slowly but safely.
• 9:26
  One officer stops the cars so I can walk my
• 9:29
  bike across the road. It is Officer Green. Did you
• 9:33
  have fun at Town Safety Day? Officer Green asked me yes.
• 9:38
  I say, I did not know there were so many
• 9:40
  ways to be a police officer. Police officers work hard
• 9:44
  to make every day a safe day. Our next book
• 9:48
  is titled I Went to Be a Scientist, and it
• 9:51
  was published by Harper in imprint of Harper Collins Publishers
• 9:55
  as a copyright eear of twenty twenty four. The author
• 9:58
  is Laura DRIs. We set sol today on a ship
• 10:03
  headed for the North po My mom is in charge
• 10:06
  of a team of scientists. They record well songs, they
• 10:10
  take photos of their flukes. These scientists are marine biologists.
• 10:15
  Marine biologists study animals that live in the water. Like
• 10:19
  all scientists, they watch, listen, and collect facts. They test
• 10:23
  ideas to see if they are right. Some scientists try
• 10:27
  to find the cause of a problem. Some of them
• 10:30
  try to solve problems. All scientists want to learn more
• 10:33
  about our world. There are lots of scientists on our ship.
• 10:37
  Each one has something to study while we are at sea,
• 10:41
  and I get to help. Eve studies water. She is
• 10:45
  a hydrologist. I am testing how clean the ocean water is.
• 10:50
  Eve says, I help her get today's water samples back
• 10:54
  on the ship. I bring the water to bend. He
• 10:57
  puts it under a microscope. I am counting tiny life
• 11:00
  forms in the water. Then says he is a microbiologist.
• 11:05
  I help Rosa with her underwater scanner is on the
• 11:09
  underside of the boat. We control it from a computer.
• 11:13
  I am making a map of the seafloor. Roses says.
• 11:17
  Rosa is a geologist. She studies the earth and how
• 11:20
  it changes up on deck, Jim wants to know what
• 11:25
  the sea floor is made of. Jim studies earthquakes, why
• 11:28
  and where they happen. Jim is a seismiologist. Many strong
• 11:33
  earthquakes take place underwater. Jim says. Em is at the
• 11:37
  weather station on the bridge. I help record the air
• 11:40
  and water temperature. Emma is studying ice near the North Pole.
• 11:44
  Some ice is melting. Emma wants to know how fast.
• 11:48
  She is a climate scientist. We go with Tye and
• 11:52
  Lena into the ice. Ty studies the weather. He is
• 11:56
  a meteorologist. Lena studies polar bears. She is a zoologist.
• 12:02
  Nat has come along to look into space. The sky
• 12:05
  at sea is so clear. He lets us look through
• 12:08
  his telescope he is filming a meteor shower. Nat is
• 12:13
  an astronomer. There's so much to find out about the world.
• 12:18
  A botanist might ask, what plans do these like this?
• 12:22
  An epidemiologist might ask what causes a disease? A physicist
• 12:27
  might ask what is the universe made of? Now? That
• 12:31
  is a big question. Maybe someday I will try to
• 12:34
  answer it. Our next book is called I Want to
• 12:37
  Be An Artist, was published by Harper an imprint of
• 12:40

• 12:57
  like me. The next week, Papa takes me downtown. We
• 13:01
  are going to another art show. It will be fun
• 13:04
  for you to meet other artists, Papa says. The paintings
• 13:08
  are huge and colorful. Papa knows men. Who is a painter.
• 13:13
  She shows me the brushes she uses. I also meet Ned.
• 13:17
  He is a sculptor. I create shapes for metal. Ned says,
• 13:22
  meaning Ned a real artist. I say, my art does
• 13:25
  not look like theirs. You are a real artist too,
• 13:29
  says Papa. There are all kinds of artists. Come on,
• 13:32
  I'll show you. We take the train to Papa's workspace.
• 13:36
  Papa is a hand lettering artist. People hire Papa to
• 13:40
  make signs and invitations. Other artists work in the same building.
• 13:45
  Papa's friend, Ellie, is a potter. I make bows and
• 13:49
  faces from clay. Ellie says. Ben is an illustrator. He's
• 13:53
  creating art for a book. Ray is a graphic designer
• 13:57
  for a magazine. I lay out the text and art
• 13:59
  Rey page Race says. Liz is an animator. I make
• 14:04
  many drawings called frames, She says. Liz clicks through the
• 14:08
  frames quickly. The dog seems to move. Terr is a photographer.

  She's doing a photoshoot on the roof today. My photos
• 14:17
  going ass in catalogs. Terra says. On the way home,
• 14:23
  we walk through the park. We see a cartoon artist.
• 14:27
  We get him to draw us. A woman is selling
• 14:29
  her plant drawings. I am a botanical botanical artist, she explains.
• 14:37
  Close to home, we walk by a group painting a building.
• 14:40
  Want to help. A woman ask us we are working
• 14:43
  on my mural. My name is Rosa. I am a muralist.
• 14:47
  Rose explains, each person paints a small part. At the
• 14:51
  end it will look like this. Rosa shows me your plant.
• 14:55
  It reminds me of my art work. We are making
• 14:59
  art here on the side of a building. Pop is right,
• 15:02
  art and artists are everywhere. Our next book is called
• 15:07
  I Want to Be An Engineer, and it was published
• 15:10
  by Harper and Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers has a
• 15:13
  copyright You're Of twenty twenty one. The author is Laura Driskol.
• 15:18
  My big brother Joe. He's going to a new school.
• 15:21
  Not just any school, Joe says, an engineering school. I
• 15:26
  am not sure what that is, but it looks like
• 15:29
  engineering needs lots of Joe's favorite things, space and rockets.
• 15:33
  When Joe grows up, he wants to build rockets. It
• 15:37
  is called aerospace engineering, Joe says. The principle gives us
• 15:41
  a tour. She asked me, maybe someday you will come
• 15:44
  here too. I shake my head. I do not like space,
• 15:48
  I say, I like robots. I show her my robot dog.
• 15:53
  Engineering is not all about space, the principal says. Engineers
• 15:58
  are problem solvers. We use science to plan and build things.
• 16:02
  There are all kinds of engineers. I am an engineer,
• 16:05
  Mom says on the way home. Huh, I thought Mom
• 16:09
  was an architect. I am an architectural engineer. Mom says,
• 16:14
  I made plans for buildings. They have to look nice,
• 16:17
  they have to be buildable, and they can't cost too
• 16:20
  much to build. It is a puzzle. The next day,
• 16:25
  Mom takes me to work with her. There are many workers.
• 16:29
  They are building a building that Mom designed. There are
• 16:32
  lots of engineers here. Mom says, we need an engineer.
• 16:36
  When we check in at the office, I make sure
• 16:38
  the building is built strong and safe. He says, from
• 16:41
  the concrete at the bottom to the roof on top.
• 16:44
  He is a structural engineer. Down in the basement, workers
• 16:48
  put in pipes. Some pipes bring water in, this engineer says,
• 16:53
  others carry wastewater out. They run all through the building.
• 16:57
  She is a plumbing engineer. Upstairs, workers put in wires
• 17:01
  and cables. Some will carry electricity to lights, fire alarms,
• 17:05
  and more. The electrical engineer decides where they all go.
• 17:09
  Some cables are for phone lines and computers. How many
• 17:14
  does this floor need? The network engineer will decide. Outside
• 17:19
  an engineer takes notes which way should the solar panels face?
• 17:24
  How can the building be more earth friendly? He is
• 17:27
  an environmental engineer. Another engineer just got here. He's going
• 17:33
  to work on the elevator. This engineer is an expert
• 17:36
  on how machines work. He is a mechanical engineer. Want
• 17:41
  to meet my helper as the mechanical engineer. My helper
• 17:45
  climbs up the elevator. Shift, It drills hosts in the concrete,
• 17:49
  and it does it all by itself. It is a robot.
• 17:52
  I shout, my mom, says, guests, who designed that robot?
• 17:57
  An engineer, I asked? Mom nods a robotic engineer, She says,
• 18:02
  just think I could make robots. I want to be
• 18:06
  an engineer. Our next set of books are about Tie
• 18:12
  Tie's travels. Super Tie is our first book about Tie,
• 18:20
  and it was published by Harper and the imprint of

• 19:34
  takes a break. He flies planes with his brother Corey.
• 19:38
  Ty makes his plane sore. It sails across the yard,
• 19:42
  higher and higher. Then uh oh, the plane is stuck.
• 19:46
  Ty must save the day. Ty uses his super breath. Nothing.
• 19:52
  Ty tries his rocket shoes. The plane is still too
• 19:55
  far away the Supersit is no help. Ty sinks to
• 19:59
  the ground. He pulls off his mask. I'm not super
• 20:03
  at all, what's wrong, Tie, Corey asks. Tye points to
• 20:07
  the plane. I can't get it down. Ty says, thy
• 20:12
  wife's his eyes. I need a super friend. Corey looks
• 20:16
  at the plane. He looks at Ty. Stay right here,
• 20:19
  he says. Corey runs inside. A new superhero shows up.
• 20:25
  His maskleans his cake flaps like wings. He winks at Ty.
• 20:31
  Ty smiles, super Corey, can you help? Corey uses his
• 20:35
  super arms. He shakes the giant tree. The plane lands safely.
• 20:40
  Tied cheers. Here comes super Tie and super Corey. Being
• 20:45
  a superhero is fun, but having a super brother is
• 20:50
  even better. Our next book is called Ty's Travels show Time,

  kids dancing, I see kids painting. What do I do?
• 21:17
  I pick up a boat. I am a captain. I

  sail on the sea. I see a boat in nick spatter.
• 21:25
  Time to bake. My teacake smells so good? What else
• 21:29
  can I do? I look around? Then I see them
• 21:33
  red drums. That drums set is all alone. It's quiet
• 21:38
  in waiting. It wants to be played. What do I do?
• 21:42
  I step on stage? It's showtime. The spotlight shines. I
• 21:47
  hit the drums, wrap a tap tap, I play fast
• 21:51
  and slow. I play hard and soft. I bob my
