The Epic Story Circle is the home of Chip & Korky’s Cracklin’ Capers – wonderful tales from around the world, told by Chip from the Oxford Owl and illustrated by the award-winning Korky Paul (Winnie & Wilbur, The Dog That Dug) and friends!
It’s also the home of the Epic Learning Podcast – in which teachers share lesson ideas based on each story, covering the entire curriculum – numeracy, science, and even PE!
