The new year brings possibilities to create something new, while forging new friendships and upholding treasured family traditions. Whether facing the unknown in Alaska or returning to the familiarity of Grandma’s house, sewing, crafting, and cooking foster comfort and connection. 


Tis the season for merrymaking. A botched gift exchange leads to giggles. A girl's art skills come in handy while preparing for Diwali. A boy needs help on Día de los Muertos. Friends throw an impromptu Solstice party.


This autumn a creepy chill fills the air. Sharp kids con greedy ghosts into trading mischief for music and doing all the heavy lifting. Realize what weird wolves, sly vampires, and concealed monsters are really hungry for.


Royalty, wizards, and dragons embark on magical medieval quests. Discover how to crack up a princess and entertain a knight who doesn't have a dragon to fight. Plus, real people in Spain climb to dizzying heights to build human castles.


Saddle up and hold on tight. Kids and creatures ride horses, camels, rhinos, and merry-go-rounds in quests for adventure, glory, or free ice-cream.

Sometimes, a simple seed grows into something totally unexpected! A girl, with hopes of winning the country fair, harvests a giant pumpkin. A boy, with hopes of impressing the emperor, can't even get his seed to sprout.

Dive on in to discover why an ancient whale and a modern girl worry about being too big. Witness a giant baby battle an ornery water snake. Plus, spot an octopus escape artist and soar the seas with an eagle ray.

Will that baby tooth be collected by the weary tooth fairy or a generous mouse? Tenderhearted and mischievous fairies hide in homes and place spells on castles. Discover lost tooth traditions and fairy folklore from around the world.


Daring detectives sniff out clues and find fingerprints to catch treat thieves, recipe snatchers, and greedy gold grabbers. But when in doubt, they blame the dog or an imaginary friend.


Celebrate SPIDER's thirtieth anniversary with a bunch of bugs and birthdays. Even when their parties don’t go as planned, birthday kids still have a ball. Learn how likely you are to find someone with your birthdate. Plus, spot super-skilled spiders. 


Wise wizards and modern-day magicians have tricks up their sleeves. Crafty cats charm with surprising special powers. A clever kid makes an invisibility cloak to outsmart monsters, while real animals use nature’s invisibility cloak—camouflage—to fool their enemies. 


The humble apple holds many mysteries. Track down real varieties of apple trees that were thought to be extinct. Uncover the secret to the tastiest applesauce. Solve bushels of riddles while outsmarting skilled squirrels.

Buckle up! By bus, truck, car, carriage, or cable car, through crowded city streets or bumpy country roads, wheels take us far. A king discovers the best journey isn’t the fastest route, and a talking tire finds its way home.

Discover how African talking drums tell stories. Drumming brings some neighbors together in celebration and tears others apart with the nonstop noise. One kid worries about every little thing, while another doesn’t even worry about the tiger outside his door.

Join a scientist on a noble quest to count tadpoles. It takes one hundred plucky frogs to scare a snake but only one muddy frog to ruin a week’s worth of origami making. Siblings bicker as storms brew.   


Books. Socks. Cats. Contests. These kids lose a lot of stuff. But they don’t lose hope and they don’t slow down. They race to rescue pets, return late library books, help out their families, and defeat sock-stealing monsters.

Meet a knight who longs to boogie, a dragon who adores rock and roll, a family who snores like a symphony, and a real-life inclusive dance troupe who is redefining movement. Music motivates these daring dreamers.

With so much to be thankful for, it’s party time! Floating lanterns on Loy Krathong fill one boy with hope. A girl finds treats hidden in her shoes on Il Giorno dei Morti. Harvest festival feasts are best when shared.


Farms are full of fun this fall, but watch out for jack-o’-lanterns that’ll make you jump. Some sharp kids play tricks to thrill their friends, while others use their cleverness to save their cow or finally get the perfect pet.

From bubblegum to bubble baths to bubbles so big kids can fit inside, bubbles are a blast—until they burst. Sail the seven seas without leaving your bathtub. Then discover high-flying real-life pirates and silly siblings who talk like pirates, much to their principal’s confusion.

Chores get in the way of building robots, exploring jungles, and jumping on the bed. But messy imaginary monkeys and spilled sequins really wreck a room. Luckily, elephants are excellent at spraying things clean, and real monkeys can learn to wash off their treats. 

A relaxing day at the beach turns into a rip-roaring romp with surprises in the seashells, greedy giants and alligators to outsmart, mysteries to unravel, and races to win. Crabs of all shapes and sizes pop up to join the festivities. 


There’s so much you don’t know about dough. Find out how to make bread with only a stone. Uncover the heroic history of the humble pretzel. See how hunger fills some with compassion and others with greed. Discover delicious secret recipes and tasty trickery. 


Blast off with the galaxy’s most talented creatures. See how an ordinary pooch rockets to stardom and a futuristic half-dog half-cat saves a spaceship. Wait! What are those bees doing aboard that NASA shuttle? Discover why honeybees use hexagons to build their honeycomb in orbit and on Earth. 


Cross the desert with trusty camels, boasting jerboas, and sneaky sand cats. Steer clear of gossiping hippos. Discover a generous emperor with tons of gold. Then see how a bragging bunch loses their dinner to a meek mouse. 


Funny bunnies trick tigers, terrify toddlers, and hide on human heads. Also hiding on heads are wigs. Find out why and how wigs are made. Then relive the past through photographs of outrageous hairdos, unforgettable memories, and even time travel. 


Folks who are new to living in sunny locales long for snow. Elsewhere, kids and critters with too much snow look for ways to warm up. But everywhere, everybody is eager to kick off the start of winter with festive parades and concerts. 


Beware the full moon and the hungry creatures it brings. Watch out for werewolves! But the real monsters may be the humans that don’t mind their manners. Then how come animals get away with doing so much gross stuff?  

Go on daring quests for fantastical and quite real dragons of all shapes and sizes. Then discover the most enjoyable way to devour slippery, sliding noodles. Fork, spoon, or chopsticks?
