Sheriff Labrador's Mystery Files: Sunflower Kindergarten丨Detective Stories丨Safety Tips for Kids is a fictional podcast that teaches kids how to avoid danger. The characters are animals who find themselves in precarious situations. Safety Sheriff Labrador is a dog officer at the Forestville Police Station. He rescues citizens in trouble and teaches them what to learn from it. Each episode includes a mini-safety episode that summarizes the important message.
The situations the characters encounter are serious. But Sheriff Labrador's Mystery Files incorporates silliness too. This prevents the podcast from being too frightening. Funny sound effects, exaggerated accents, and theatrical music keep it age-appropriate. Sheriff Labrador answers phone calls with a "woof," and the characters have cute names.
In one episode of Sheriff Labrador's Mystery Files, a young pig can't wake up. His mom, Mrs. Piggums, assumes Mr. Ostrich sold them poisonous soda. She tries to have him arrested. He gets flustered, loses feathers, and gulps the soda to prove his innocence. It's a humorous interchange. Then, Sheriff Labrador notices an open bottle of medicine. That's the real reason the pig is drowsy. He instructs young podcast listeners not to take medicine if they aren't sick or if it doesn't belong to them. He advises adults to keep medication out of reach.
In another episode, a squirrel and tortoise get hurt when something lands on their heads. Sheriff Labrador hurries to each animal's side and finds a crepe and a white feather. A kitten helps them solve the mystery. She remembers that a white dove mentioned starting a crepe shop. They discover the dove was tossing crepes out the window as gifts to announce that his shop was opening. Sheriff Labrador teaches the dove and listeners that throwing anything from up high can hurt people.
This educational podcast covers essential safety topics. Listeners learn not to go home with strangers or accept toys or treats from them. It also helps kids see law enforcement officers as people who help them rather than people to be afraid of. Sheriff Labrador's Mystery Files may be a fun listen for the whole family.
