Halloween is on the way and it is harvest time. That can only mean one thing -- its time to pick pumpkins. Encourage your child to read with Splat the Cat and the Pumpkin-Picking Plan and enjoy the season.
On February 7, 1930 a lion cub was born at Goebel's Wild Animal Farm, an animal theme park and training facility in Thousand Oaks, California. Many of the wild animals there were destined for Hollywood to appear in movies. At the tender age of three weeks (!) this little lion cub was sold to Roscoe Turner, an airplane pilot, to help promote the Gilmore Oil Company. The cub was promptly named "Gilmore."
