What If World - Stories for Kids

What happens when a lobster, a crab, a wizard, a detective, and a Junkodile each try to save the day all on their own? Hopefully a lesson about teamwork…
Lessons include: A true helper isn’t concerned with getting glory or showing off.

412. Farting Lobster, Burping Crab: Part 2

When Derek the lobster and Kiwa the crab find out that New What City needs their help, they leave their sewer home and set out on a magical—and sometimes gassy—adventure.
Lessons include: Working together doesn’t always mean doing the same thing; we never need to make a big deal about farts and burps. It’s just a body doing what comes naturally.

411. Farting Lobster, Burping Crab: Part 1

When Fred wakes up in a stick-free meadow, he’ll do anything in his power to find something to chew.
Lessons include: Taking responsibility for our mistakes; listening to other people’s body boundaries (even when you’re a make believe dog).
This is the audio-only version of a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTWsk7tdpxc">YouTube video</a> shot in front of a green screen for a kid-friendly, low-stimulation, no AI video. Grownups, you can <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTWsk7tdpxc">find it via this link</a> or by searching on YouTube Kids for What If World.
Note: While chewing on a big sturdy stick can be fun for a dog, don’t let them consume the pieces. And don’t let them chew on Oak, which is not considered pet-safe.

410. Gavin asks: What if Fred could turn anything into sticks?

On his first day of school, Jackson (played by <a href="http://hamishsteele.co.uk/">Hamish Steele</a>) gets turned into a giant monster! Will he crash through Mystak City or get sent to outer space?
Lessons include: Everyone needs an outlet for their big feelings; taking a little break in a big moment just takes a little imagination.
We are celebrating the release of <a href="https://hamishsteele.co.uk/GO-MAN2">Go-Man vs. the Star Dragon</a>, the second in an amazing graphic novel series for kids featuring giant monsters, robots, super heroes, and more!
