CH 01 · LEARNING LAND · EPISODE L07
It's Grandma's birthday, and Murphy flies to her farm with a giant gift. He sets it down by the fence, and a curious goat nibbles the ribbon and trots off with it, through the goat pen and into Grandma's garden, where he drops it between the cabbages. Then a gentle goose takes the ribbon in her beak and waddles it all the way to the porch, right to Grandma's feet. It was for her all along! Happy birthday, Grandma!
Every one of them starts with the letter G. Can your Couch Buddy name them all?
G! G! G is great! G! G! Here we go! Murphy had a gift for Grandma's special day He set it by the fence, but it didn't stay!

Each word pops up next to a big letter G, and Murphy says “G is for…” after each one, so kids see the letter and hear its sound together.
Open your mouth a little and make a quick sound in the back of your throat: “g,” like the start of go. It's short, so try not to add “uh.” Kids can feel it by putting a hand on their throat.
G can also sound like “j,” as in giraffe and gem. This episode sticks with the hard G in go, which most kids learn first. The soft G is easier once the hard G feels familiar.
