"Runner and the Great Rift Valley"
Runner
Little Runner was so sweet and had such a big heart
If help was needed he would give a jumpstart
His smile was contagious
He would often smile wide and do something courageous
But if something was not to his liking he would run and run
And disappear into a horizon with a setting sun

Runner's story is perfect for the little ones that have can't stop moving
Today, we’re welcoming a new Goop to the group, and we know you can’t wait to say hi, so here’s Runner! He’s a thoughtful Goop that absolutely loves to run. He’s always a great help to those around him because he completes tasks so quickly!
One day during class, Runner and his friend Grumpylina decide to run out the door to escape a very boring lesson. Runner manages to run all the way into the mountains, but when he leaves Grumpylina behind, he falls all the way back down and right into the Great Rift Valley in Kenya! He soon finds himself face to face with a hungry leopard, and he can’t run because the altitude is making it so hard to breathe.
Fortunately, Runner loves to offer to help, which wins over the leopard, but if Runner can’t find an alternative for dinner, he may just end up in the leopard’s stomach! However, Runner encounters a problem in the form of a large mamba snake, who stops Runner in his tracks. If Runner can’t run, how will he get out of this mess and get back to Goop World?
Runner’s journey through the Great Rift Valley will show kids the importance of exercise, but also why it’s important to slow down from time to time. Runner will need to learn how to adapt to both experiences if he wants to avoid being the leopard’s dinner. Will he be able to escape, even if he can’t run for his life? Meet us in Kenya to find out!
This short story podcast will help little ones limit their screen time while practicing active listening. As little ones confront the animals of Kenya, they will increase their attention span, engage in self-entertainment, and broaden their horizons through fun facts about new places and animals. Youngsters won’t want to leave Goop World after their run through Kenya!

Copycata, Mimicfina, and the New York Macaws
In the previous episode of Goop Tales, we met Copycata and Mimicfina, boisterous Goop girls who love to play pranks and copy everything around them. While chasing butterflies with Runner, the twins fell through a hole in the ground and landed in the New York Zoo! There, they faced down a tiger, escaped to the parrot exhibit, and had to make a great escape back through the tiger exhibit using their talent for mimicking sounds.
They finally learned how to use their abilities in a great way, and when they made it back to Goop World, they couldn’t wait to tell Runner about their time at the zoo, but he was running through Rift Valley, Kenya! Stay tuned to find out how he got there and what he can do to get back home.
