Hi kids! Welcome to Dixie's Storytime World. I think my listening ears are broken, so I go on a quest
to find some new ones. Which ears will I choose? In Listening Ears, written by Rachel A. Wamsley
and illustrated by Helen McNaughter. If you'd like to buy a copy of this book, the link is
available in the description at the bottom of this video. Today I have been. It's been a bad day
when no one seems to have anything good to say about me and my ability to listen.
I was busy. I was enjoying my play. I'd been a policeman, space explorer, car mechanic,
and robot controller all in one day. What are you doing? Where are your listening ears?
My chin wobbled as I fought off the tears. Anyway, I've decided it's for the best.
I'm going on an important quest to find some new ones. Hmm, where to start? Let me see.
Where can that silly dog be? Rex has beautiful, cuddly ears. He's a wonder dog without any fears.
But does he listen? He does come running if you shout,
it's time for tea! But not if he's chasing birds running wild and free. Sometimes he brings the
ball back. But let's face it, he's generally quite slack. So, no, I don't think those are the ears
for me. Where next? Let me think. I bet she'll come purring for a milk drink. Our neighbour's
black cat has ears which are pointy and sleek. She is courageous, but if startled can let out
an almighty shriek. But does she listen? She comes to see us if she wants a tickle or a stroke.
But thinking about it, her listening ears are also quite broke as she never even responds to
her own name. She roams the neighbourhood ferociously even though she is supposedly tame.
So, no, I don't think those are the ears for me. Maybe I need to think further afield. Hmm,
surely within the animal kingdom a good listener can be revealed. Speaking of animals, I have just
the one. When it comes to huge ears, he is second to none. Jumbo the elephant is surely the largest
set of lugs. With ears that size, for any peace and quiet, I bet he wears earplugs. Hmm, but are
elephants too busy stomping and trumpeting to actually hear? And I heard something about them
using vibration under their feet to listen, so it's quite unclear. So, no, I don't think those
are the ears for me. Then, isn't there a saying about ears like a bat? They use ultrasounds which
are too high for us to hear. Fancy that! But it comes at quite a price as bats often have giant
ears compared to their body. Don't want a design of ear that's going to look silly or shoddy. So,
no, I don't think those are the ears for me. Now, owls need exceptional hearing to be able to hunt
in the dark. An owl can pinpoint exactly where a sound is coming from. What a bright spark! But did
you know that their ears are lopsided? With one more forward and one higher than the other, I've
decided they are not the ears for me. Then, the dolphin's hearing is really very clever. Using
echolocation, he has no hearing problems whatsoever. But I don't need to listen underwater,
so maybe I ought to think more electronically. Maybe I should borrow Graham's hearing aid.
That's if she knows where it is as it's often mislaid. Has anyone seen my hearing aid?
Could that be the answer to my listening trouble? I could set it up so that it helps me hear double.
I could funk it up with some cool flags and lights. With that sort of electronical help,
my hearing ability will reach new heights. But what about poor Grandma? Robotic hearing? Now
that's a thought. If only at school that sort of thing had been taught. If my ears were the
listening equivalent of a microphone, maybe they would convert the right sort of tone to a higher
level to help me to listen. So, the thing is, I clearly have no idea which are the best ears to
help me to hear. It seems like I'm stuck with mine. If only someone could tell me what to do.
Give me a sign. Oh, whoops. I've just forgotten to turn my listening ears on. Switch. Now,
what could possibly go wrong? I'll be the best listener of all time. Don't worry, it was just
a slight technical matter. My listening ears are now back in business, so let's chatter.
Wait, what? What? What was that you said? Thank you for listening, listening, and listening.
Kids, I'll see you soon in another adventure. Always remember to be good, polite, and kind,
and don't lose those listening ears.
