Welcome to Goop Tales, Episode 66, Hager and the Bee Eaters of Uganda.

I'm Maria Kalinchini, and I'm the author of Goop Tales.

And here we are, about to go into episode 66. So one thing I can say about this time

of having to stay at home more is giving me more time to create goop tales. So more of them are

coming out. So that is one good thing.

There are others, but this is probably one of my favorite.

So anyways, in today's episode, we're going to go to Uganda in Africa.

Somewhere I've never been, but would love to go.

And there's a gorilla in this story, along with a couple of other animals that I'm going to let you meet. And I'm not going to give you the fun facts because it's in the title, the bee eaters of

Uganda, and you're going to find out all about those in the story. I have to thank Nathaniel

for the name Hogger.

Nathaniel wrote me in and he wanted a goop named Hogger.

And Nathaniel, this one is for you.

You didn't tell me too much about Hogger,

but I kind of like that because I like to let the story take its own life on as it comes out.

So Nathaniel, thank you for that suggestion.

I loved it. I took it.

Now I'm going to read a review from iTunes, as always, before we get started.

And this is from Dragon Lover.

It was sent in April. And it says, hi, I'm Georgia,

and I'm 12 years old. I got into Goot Tales when my brother started listening to them.

My brother is Elliot, and he's seven years old. Thank you for writing and recording all of these
