Join the Library as Talewise takes us on a wild adventure about two kids who visit the city zoo and discover all sorts of incredible animals, including a horse who knows in its heart that it’s truly a unicorn. The animals join forces to stand up to the tyrannical Zoo Owner — but do they have what it takes to leave their cages forever?

The fun animated story segues into fascinating science concept segments about life sciences and animals, so you won’t only be entertained — you'll learn something, too!

To participate, you'll need a computer or mobile device with a microphone and optional camera.
