About Mr. Jim:
Hi! I'm Jim Jacob, a South Carolina based creator. I started as a podcaster by accident. Our first real episodes on the internet were me trying to find a solution to help tell my sons stories as I was traveling for work. I recorded some stories and hoped that by uploading them to a podcast app, my wife and kids could have easy access to listen. What started as a fix for our family’s bedtime routine interruption has grown into a worldwide audience with hundreds of thousands of listeners. My wife Jocelyn and I have 3 kids and love inspiring others towards greater imagination and curiosity.

Hey, friends, it's mister Jemmy Net Saturday, which means there's a new Kid's Animal Stories adventure. So make sure you head on over to that podcast Kids Animal Stories right after today's episode. That comes from Emma and Avery. They sent me an awesome idea for a story, and you can too. Just head over to kidshort stories dot com. Send me your idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. Are you guys ready for an amazing animal rescue saving adventure of Emma and Avery? Me too, Let's go. One day, Emma and Avery were building an amazing boat in their living room. Wait a secon, How are they building a boat in their living room?
Oh? Look at that.
Yeah, they got pillows and blankets and oh wow that looks so cool. Emma, can you hand me that blanket over there? Said Avery? All right, perfect, it looks so good. Let's get in it and lay down. And oh, let's see how comfy it is. It definitely looked like a very comfy boat. Emma and Avery both climbed into their blanket boat and laid down. They were right, Oh, this is the most perfect but we've ever made, said Emma. I know, just oh I could fall asleep in here, said Avery. They started to dream about maybe this blanket boat could be like their bed. Oh that's so cool. Their parents walked over and said, hey, guys, this right here is a magical blanket. It really, said Avery. Oh absolutely. If you put it over your head and then pop out from it, it will transport you into a real ocean, and hopefully this boat will float, really, said Emma. Her eyes looked back and forth. Can we try it?
Oh?
Absolutely, here you go, Avery, Let's do it together. Emma and Avery both crawled underneath this big, puffy blanket. All right, so how does this work? Exactly? Said Avery. I don't know. They just said, we have to go under the blanket and then when we pop our heads out, and all the smokes look at that. Emma was the first to take her head out from under this magical blanket. And as they both peered out from the blanket, they were floating in the middle of the ocean. They they were both very excited and terrified at the same time. Are we gonna sink? Shouted Avery. Emma took a look around and wait a second, look how big this thing is. Emma and Avery both stood up in their blanket boat and it was absolutely huge. It was way bigger than they remembered it being in the living room. But wow, this actually turned out really well, Emma said. They started to walk around their boat and they were really impressed. They had done a really good job. Help, somebody help me. What's that sound? Look over there? Avery was pointing to an island that was nearby, and there was some kind of creature on the shore. It was waving his arms or something and needs help. All right, Emma, grab the sails and let's turn the boat and head to that island. They were very good sailors and turned the sailboat and it went right to the island. They hopped out of the boat splash into the crystal clear blue ocean. They were in some kind of tropical place. This island was full of palm trees. It was beautiful. Hey, what's going on? Brodacious bros. Emma and Avery couldn't believe it. There was a penguin on the beach.
What's going on?
Well? Thanks for coming to help. I totally need it. Oh Hi, my name's Avery, and this is Emma.
Hi.
Yeah, and uh, what in the world is a penguin like you? Doing on a tropical island.
Well, uh, I actually came from space and I'm totally looking for some gnarly, rodaciously large sheets of ice.
And I think I made a wrong turn. You're looking for ice, and yeah, you're definitely not gonna find it here. How did you said you got here on a spaceship? Where is it?
Well, you see, it kind of crashed into that palm tree over there, and so it's now totally broken. But I could maybe hit a ride with y'all on your awesome blanket boat.
Emma and Avery looked at each other. They were always up for an amazing adventure and this was exactly that. Let's go, Emma, Avery and their new penguin friend Polio hopped onto the blanket boat and off they sailed.
Yeah, you see, I was told to go to Antarctica and I totally made a wrong turn.
Could you help me get there? Absolutely? I think it's this way. Emma checked her compass and yep, let's heads south. They sailed the boat very far south. They left that tropical, beautiful, warm island, and pretty soon they were airy cold.
Said Avery, Well, you're on a boat made of blankets, bros. Let's just cuddle up in.
The blankets, said Polio the penguin. Emma and Avery laughed, because, yeah, they've forgotten that their entire boat was made of blankets, and so if they were cold, this was a perfect place to be. Emma and Avery both grabbed some blankets and warmed up. That's so much better. So, Poulio, tell us, where are you from.
Oh, I'm totally from outer space, from the farthest stars and planets, way farther than that. And yeah, I was looking for a giant sheet of ice. And I first went to the Moon and made some new friends there, and then they said to go to Antarctica. And then when I came into Earth, I saw some really cool palm trees, and so I was like, hold on, I don't want to go to Antarctica. First, I want to go to this tropical island. And then when I got there, then I accidentally crashed my spaceship and then I got stuck there.
Wow, that is a crazy story, Emma laughed. Wow, So did you make a wrong turn on accident or did it just kind of happen. Well, you know, I was just taking an advantage of the moment, and I just I had to see those killer palm trees.
They're so bready.
We don't have those in space. Wow. Well, I'm glad you got to see the palm trees, and I'm glad we were able to come here and help. Yeah, and how did.
You get here in this killer boat made of blankets? I wish I had a boat made of blankets.
Well, Avery explained to Poulio how it all happened, and how their parents had this magic blanket that transported them into the real ocean from their living room. Wow, that is totally awesome. I wish I had a magical blanket like that. Ooh, is that ice up there, bros? Poulio was so excited. Off in the distance was Antarctica, a land filled with snow and ice, a perfect place for Polio the penguin. He was so excited he jumped right out of the boat. We'll see you guys later, buy splash as he splashed into the water. He swam the rest of the way to the ice and met up with some more penguin friends. Whoo, holy smokes, that was a crazy adventure, Emma said Avery. They both looked at each other and knew that it was time to get home. They looked for that magical blanket, and there it was. They both crawled underneath it. Do you think this is gonna work this time? Said Emma. I sure hope, so said Avery, as they peered their heads out from the magical blanket. There they were back in their living room. So how was your adventure? Said their parents. Emma and Avery looked at each other. You wouldn't even believe us if we told you. We went to this tropical island and met a penguin named Paulio that needed to get Antarctica. He was actually from space, but we helped him get to Antarctica, and then he made a whole bunch of new penguin friends, and then we came back here. Wow, that's an awesome adventure, said their parents. You guys said the best imaginations ever. Emma and Avery looked at each other, knowing that it was not just their imagination, but this was a really awesome adventure.
The end.
Great job. You listened all the way to the end. And you know what time it is. It's time for kid shout out.
