Episode 309

Marcus and Kino are watching Lucy photograph plants and animals. Marcus suggests they make this "Animal Day"--they can read animal books, eat animal crackers, and make animal sounds. Lucy reads a book about pretend animals. Then Kino is squirted by a skunk and he smells terrible.

Back at the story circle, Lucy is working on her photo album with Marcus when Kino returns in clean clothes. Michael Horse arrives to read a story and notices that something still smells. He reads a book about how the tortoise got its shell. Everyone tries to make an animal noise. Marcus suggests that they read a book about real animals this time, and he reads one about a bear and her cub. Afterward, everyone can still smell Kino's skunk, so he heads home to triple-wash his clothes.
