Did you know that two of the most famous dinosaurs in the United States live at the Field Museum in Chicago? Their names are Sue and Maximo. They are sooo lonely now that the museum is closed and no kids can visit them. Maximo decided he needed his own phone so he could text kids. Visit the Field Museum website to send him a text. Just look at the bottom right corner for the circle with the dinosaur head then click on the head so that you can send AND receive a text. So, what's Sue doing while Maximo is texting? She's visiting the other exhibits to learn more about the world.

Created and produced by parents of young children, WBUR's Circle Round adapts carefully-selected folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich radio plays for kids ages 4 to 10. Each 10- to 20-minute episode explores important issues like kindness, persistence and generosity. And each episode ends with an activity that inspires a deeper conversation between children and grown-ups. Presented by NPR these podcasts are frequently updated.
