The Legendary Soup Kitchen

18th November: What Shall We Do Today?

By: P.D. Cain

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A magical adventure where courage, kindness, and teamwork save the day!
When a silver arrow nearly hits Tommy on the front steps, Imani, Tommy, and Maya know they're in for another extraordinary adventure. This time, the legendary William Tell himself needs their help! The magical Golden Ladle has been stolen from the Kingdom of Steamboat, and without it, nothing works properly—not the royal castle, not the safety shields, and not even William Tell's famous aim.
Join three brave friends as they journey through a fantastical realm aboard a cloud-sailing steamboat, where they'll meet the one and only Mickey Mouse, a wise princess, and a safety-conscious badger. To recover the four pieces of the Golden Ladle, the children must:
Discover what true royalty really means in Princess Melody's tower of mirrors
Master the art of keeping everyone safe through a challenging obstacle course
Take a legendary shot that requires courage and trust
Create the perfect soup that brings the entire kingdom together
