Through the Woods
Season 1
Overview
Follow Rider and his dog Wolfie as they explore the kind of "nearby nature" that so many kids can relate to: spider webs, a bunny nest, fireflies and more. In each 3-minute story, the ever-curious Rider wonders about something he has seen or heard in the small woods behind his house, observes an animal or plant to learn more and then shares his discoveries with his Grammie through play.
