Meet Little Laurie!
Little Laurie is a curious young explorer with big questions about the world around her. With help from her supportive mom and her lovable sidekick Doodle the Pig, she sets off on joyful adventures to uncover the wonders of nature, weather, and space.
Each of Little Laurie’s Science Stories is designed to spark curiosity in early learners while giving parents and educators the tools they need to nurture discovery — all aligned with early elementary science standards (NGSS/NYSSLS).
