This Week's Story: Grandpa Ivy & the Candlestick
Grandpa Ivy makes beeswax candles with his friends, then carries one to the meadow to watch the sunrise. His young neighbor, Dante, joins him in the meadow to watch the morning sky. Dante sees Grandpa Ivy's lit candle sitting on the ground and makes a game of jumping over Grandpa Ivy’s candle.
Jack be nimble,
Jack be quick
Jack jump over the candlestick!
