Starfish aka Sea Star

Full Episode description

Grady, Clara, Teddy and mom Ali sit down to talk about the starfish (or is it a sea star?).  You’ll learn that this festive-shaped star can come with many, many more arms than you’d imagine, what important things it’s lacking, the strange place its eyes are located, and about its amazing superpower.
