Join host Sarah S. Uthoff as she breaks down for you the history and the connections behind Henry Ford's living history masterpiece. Greenfield Village is a living history site that rescued or recreated important buildings all around the country -- and a couple from Europe too. Learn about Ford's plan for the museum indoors and out, Ford's connection with schools, and why "history is bunk." Also learn how Ford's Museum is part of a larger story having to do with Abraham Lincoln, John D. Rockefeller, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Alva Edison, Herbert Hoover, and Walt Disney. Plus, why you need to add the Henry Ford to your list for future Laura Ingalls Wilder trips!

I missed the read aloud event this year (grump technical issues), but I still wanted to honor it and I thought it would be a great episode to get back up to speed. Burgess was a naturalist who wrote a column for children about wildlife. His stories were about humanized wild animals. They wear clothes and talk, but otherwise act as the real animals do. His stories were set in the Green Meadows and the Green Forest. Since they were originally written in a column each chapter begins with a recap and ends on a cliff hanger. They are perfect early reader (around 2nd grade) books. This one is The Adventures of Grandfather Frog.
