CRINGE REAPER
Once again, another 12/10 episode with Isaac! Isaac, your excitement for the world around you is so awesome, and your imagination is INCREDIBLE! Can’t wait to hear more about your ecosystem and the Devil mantises! Ellen, thanks for answering everyone’s questions so thoughtfully and creating such a great space for kiddos to learn. I’m going to share this episode with my younger cousins ASAP!
Plant submission: not really a plant, but let’s get some fungi in there! Maybe the Gram Grubs “farm” a super cool fungus that Devil mantises try to steal because it confers super powers? 🤩
one of my favorites for sure ☺️
It’s so chill, very informative, cute, and funny! Both Ellen’s and Christian’s voices are relaxing and I love their dynamic! They deliver well-thought-out and fun info about all kinds of quirky animals. Plus, the cover art and theme song are adorable. Keep up the good work! 🤓
