Happy almost-Thanksgiving! Due to the school holiday, it's a short week for Kids Commute, but we're packing in the fun!
This week, we're diving in to some hilarious old Looney Tunes cartoons that tackle classical music in... well, a loony way!
We'll explore the classical angle into what makes these vintage cartoons so funny then and now.
To show you how thankful we are for our young listeners, we have an easy-peasy Quizlet this week, too!
Tune in Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week at 7:40 a.m. and 3:20 p.m. or listen any time at the links.
