Amazing

- Zoe Jordan and Rowan Jordan

We love how circle around shares stories around the world and we love how it expresses different morals and all of its tails and let me just say spot on with the actors I mean their voices are just amazing One of our requests is that you bring back the story onions and garlic because when y’all started deleting stories it deleted our favorite story onions and garlic and my brother is been kind of whining about it ever cents
