Hi! My name is Minnie - Minnie, the microwave! I 

was just born recently! My papa is going to teach 

me everything about being a microwave. He says 

one of the best things about being a microwave is 

that I can travel anywhere I want! Right now, 

we're exploring space! Dad says I'm a special type 

of wave, called electromagnetic! Elec-tro-mag-

net-ic. Whoa, big word! 

Since I am an 

electromagnetic 

wave, I can visit 

more than just 

space! I can also 

move through the 

air, like butterflies or 

birds!

I can travel like a fish through 

water too!! Papa says to be 

careful of the crab's claws - 

Yikes!

Exploring places is fun, but Papa says I 

have to learn how to help people. 

Microwaves like me have a job to do, 

but I'm scared because I haven't done 

anything like this before. What if I'm 

not good at it? What if I fail?

"Minnie, honey, don't 

worry," says Papa. "I 

know it's hard to try 

new things and it can 

be really scary if you 

don't know what's 

going to happen. Every 

little wave tries new 

things at some point. 

And if you fail you just 

try again! And again! 

And one day, you'll be 

great at it!"

Papa is right! I'm 

going to be brave! 

After all, he was a 

little wave just 

like me once. I am 

going to learn a new 

job today. Papa says 

it helps humans and 

that it's the coolest 

job ever!

Papa shows me a space called a kitchen. He says 

humans make food here. They put food in their 

bellies to help them live. Papa says sometimes they 

need warm food so they put it in the little box below 

called a microwave! That's funny - this box has the 

same name as Papa and I. We're microwaves!

Papa teaches me how to help humans 

warm up food. He says that my job 

will be to move through the 

microwave box very quickly. When I 

move really fast it makes the human's 

food warm up! Sounds pretty simple - 

I'm ready for my very first try at my 

new job.

Inside the microwave is a 

plate of food that Papa calls 

spaghetti that needs to be 

warmed up. He tells me to 

start far off to the side and 

get as much energy as I can. 

Then, he yells "Ready, set, 

GO!!!"
