Is there a child in your life who thinks they’re the best around or who is constantly glued to the mirror, admiring their reflection? If the answer is yes, enter the world of Goop Tales and listen to one of the most inspiring and educational kids podcasts around.

Meet Verivaine, a joyful Goop girl who is quite vain and loves to look at herself in the mirror. Her friends even have to hide the mirrors in their house before she comes over! One day, after meeting a strange, white peacock, she looks a little too deeply into her mirror and falls into a hall of mirrors in Versailles that seems to have no end.

Verivaine’s personality will resonate with any child who just can’t get enough of themself. After she lands in the hall of mirrors, she begins to hear someone screaming “Off with her head!” But why do they want to take off her head? She’ll need help from some mind-reading statues if she’s to escape in one piece!

Dowanto will connect with any child who resists doing what they’re told. After the wind picks him up and places him on a cloud high above the ground, he meets a helpful cloud who tells him he must find the never-ending staircase, but how can he get there? He jumps from cloud to cloud, eventually landing on a not-so-friendly hail cloud who wants to keep him in the sky forever.

Goop Tales is full of audio stories for kids that address troublesome behaviors often seen in children aged 3-9. Get to know all of the special individuals that Maria has developed through these learning podcasts as the Goops motivate children to reflect on important lessons and learn from their experiences.

0:00.0	Welcome to Goop Tales, Episode 10, Very Vane and the Hall of Mirrors.
0:11.3	I'm Maria Kalinchini, and I'm the author of Goop Tales.
0:15.9	In today's episode, Veri Vane ends up in Versailles, which is a chateau in France, where the King of France
0:24.7	used to live hundreds of years ago. She has all sorts of adventures there with talking statues
0:32.5	and cherubs and singing harps and someone who doesn't want her there. So enjoy the story and at the end,
0:42.0	I am going to tell you how you can see all the photos that go with this story, Very Vane and the

1:02.4	Goop Tales, Episode 10, Very Vane and the Hall of Mirrors.
1:09.0	I think of Very Vane as one so pretty and so full of mirrors. I think of very vain as one so pretty and so full of fun,
1:15.6	that I would walk a mile or two to call upon her, wouldn't you? But if you called, I fear alas,
1:24.1	you'd find her prinking at the glass.
1:36.0	Chapter 1. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful and joyful little goop girl named Vary Vane. Very Vane was a sheer delight to be around because she laughed easily and was ever so
1:43.5	charming. The world turned into a fairy tale when you spent
1:47.9	time with Very Vane. She was very popular amongst the goops and was always invited to parties,
1:55.6	balls, and celebrations. She did have one habit that was troublesome. It was a well-known fact that very vain loved
2:06.4	to admire herself in the mirror quite often. She was very pretty. Sometimes she just couldn't get
2:13.4	enough of herself, so she carried a mirror everywhere she went. She would stop in the middle of
2:20.3	games just to pick up her mirror and gaze at herself. As you can imagine, many of the other
2:28.0	goops found this very annoying. No one wanted to stop in the middle of a game of go-fish, so Vary Vane could stare at
2:37.2	herself. Sometimes the goops would hide every mirror in their house before they invited Vary Vane over,
