Puffin Podcast: Mission Imagination

Welcome back to The Puffin Library of Made-Up Things for a very special episode! This episode will take us on a thrilling adventure with Peter Rabbit in his favourite garden, all inspired by Rachel Bright's book, ‘Peter Rabbit: Head over Tail’. In this episode, Peter has indulged a little too much in delicious vegetables and fruits - so Rachel, Baba, and our adventurous Puffineers Tylan and Darcey don their gardening hats and use one of Peter’s nifty inventions to replant the yummy produce. You won't believe what our motley crew get up to in the process!To find out more about Peter Rabbit: Head Over Tail, visit https://bit.ly/HeadOverTailMIFollow, rate and review so Puffineers everywhere can discover their next adventure.This episode was written by Esme Mahoney and Robyn Wilson Hosted on Acast.

This week’s episode is the final one for this series of Mission Imagination. We've been to some amazing worlds and today is no different, as we welcome author Sharna Jackson to the podcast! Sharna is the author of the brilliant book ‘The Good Turn’, in which Josie has set up a scout group called the Copsey’s who get rewarded with badges for going on adventures and doing good deeds around her town. Sharna drives our Puffineers to the Old Car Factory, a run-down building that used to be the talk of the town. Our Pufineers have the chance to earn four Copsey badges for completing tasks around the factory, but there’s just one problem…if our Puffineers turn on the factory lights at any point during their tasks, they will alert a terrifying woman: Josie’s mum! If she knows they’re in the factory, our Puffineers will be in a whole world of trouble.Follow, rate and review so Puffineers everywhere can discover their next adventure. Be on the show!
