Hi, neighbor!

O the Owl and I are playing outside today.

- Hoo hoo!

We're going on a trolley adventure.

- Come play with us!

Ding ding!

- Hoo hoo, it's time to explo-- (thunder) - What did you say?

- I said, it's time to explo-- (thunder) - Uh oh... Is that... thunder?

- It can't be!

Because if there's thunder, then it's going to... - Rain!

- Quick!

Quick!

Let's get out of the rain.

- Come on!

Let's go inside!

It's raining so hard.

- Now we can't play outside.

Hoo hoo.

- And we can't have our trolley adventure.

Grrr.

- We can't play.

At.

All.

Hoo hoo.

- Now wait just a minute.

Did I hear you say you can't play?

- Yes.

Hoo hoo.

We can't play because it's raining.

- It's a problem.

- A BIG problem.

- Rain may have made a problem for you, but you can still play.

- Well, that is a very good plan!

- But where should we go?

- I want to have a picnic on the beach!

- Hoo hoo!

And we can pretend that we go to a garden, and pick fruits and veggies to eat at our beach picnic.

- I'll make the beach!

- And I'll make the garden.

- Hmmm... where can the beach be?

Here!

This is all the sand and this is a picnic blanket.

Do you see anything else we can use for our beach?

This bucket and shovel are good for making sand castles on the beach.

O!

Is the garden ready?

- Yes, hoo hoo.

- Grr-ific!

Now we can go on our trolley adventure!

- All aboard.

Ding ding!

To the garden.

- To the beach.

Oops.

How do we know where we should go first on our trip?

- That's a good plan!

OK. Let's make our map.

- I'm drawing my garden with lots of apples... and carrots... bananas... and cheese sandwiches.

- Cheese sandwiches in a garden?

- Just for pretend.

- And I'm drawing my beach with sand, and the picnic blanket, and a BIG... sea creature!

- A big sea creature?

- It's OK, he's friendly.

He likes cheese sandwiches.

- Phew!

- And here's the road for Trolley to go on.

But where should we go next?

- Hmm... Oh!

I know!

Maybe we'll go back outside and see a rainbow?

- Oh, good idea, O!

Now we have a plan for our trip.

First we go to the garden... then the beach... and then maybe we'll see a rainbow!

- Hey, why don't you guys go outside?

It's gorgeous out.

- (both): Aw, OK. - I wonder what they'll do now!

- What should we do now?

- Maybe we can make a treasure hunt!

- That is perfect!

'‘Cause I have some paper and crayons and we can leave the maps out and my dad will try and figure out what we're hiding.

- What a grr-ific idea!

Now to hide the treasures.

The seashells in the sand box, the picture in the swing and the heart under the fire pit.

Hey, that's a good slide.

- Thanks.

That looks like it.

Yes.

And then he's gonna walk this way, right?

♪♪♪ You guys did a really good job on this map.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

- I like these visits with you.

Hi, neighbor!

I'm at the library.

We're going to see a puppet show today.

Come with me!

- Hoo hoo!

Hello, kids!

Gather 'round for the puppet show.

- Hoo hoo!

It's a crocodile!

It's a crocodile puppet show!

- Hello!

I'm Crocky the Crocodile!

- I've read that book!

- Then you must know that I love to go on lots of adventures!

- Hoo hoo, it's true.

He does!

He does.

- Just like Tigey the Adventure Tiger.

- Yes, just like Tigey the Adventure Tiger.

One day, I went exploring in a cave.

It was very dark.

- You weren't afraid, right?

- No, I wasn't.

And at the back of the cave, do you know what we found?

- Another cave?

- No... We found a lake!

Tigey and I went for a swim.

Like this!

Splish, splash, splish, splash.

- Splish, splash, splish, splash.

- After our swim we got hungry.

And when I'm hungry, do you know what I eat?

- Blueberries?

- Apples?

- Grilled cheese sandwiches with the crusts cut off?

- Fish!

Lots and lots of fish!

Are there any little fishies out there for my lunch?

- No!

Not here!

- No way, hoo hoo!

- Well then, I guess it's time for me to go and find some lunch somewhere else!

Thanks for coming to the show.

Bye bye!

- (various): Bye, Crocky!

(burbling sound) - Now that you've seen my puppet show, it's time for you to make puppets, so you can put on your own puppet show!

- Oh, goody-goody!

- Hoo-hooray!

Grab a sock to make a good turtle puppet, hoo hoo!

- (Daniel and Elaina): And... this sock!

I want the red sock!

- I need it!

- I need it!

Grr.

(groaning) - Hm.

This sounds like a problem.

♪ If there's a problem, talk about it and make a plan ♪ - ♪ If there's a problem ♪ ♪ Talk about it and make a plan ♪ - OK... what do we do first?

- Well, let's talk about what kind of puppet show you want to do.

- Hmm...

I want to do a puppet show about a dragon!

Like the one Tigey plays with.

ROAR!

- And your dragon can fly with Amelia the Astronaut!

Oh!

I'll make an Amelia puppet!

- Aha, good plan!

Daniel, what do you want your puppet to look like?

- Well, this dragon is green.

So instead of the red sock, I should use a... green sock!

- And Amelia is wearing a gray space suit, so I'll use a gray sock!

- Nifty galifty!

Now you can start making your puppets.

- Grr-ific!

- All right, toots!

- But how am I going to make a dragon with all of this stuff?

This is a problem.

♪ If there's a problem ♪ ♪ Talk about it and make a plan ♪ I need a plan to make my dragon.

Hmm...

I can use the red buttons for dragon eyes and make a mouth with this marker and use this green cloth for the wings.

That's a good plan!

Glue these buttons on to make two red eyes.

Orange mouth with lots of dragon teeth.

Chomp, chomp, chomp.

(giggling) And here are his wings so he can fly high in the sky!

Fly, dragon!

Fly!

I wish you were a real dragon so we could play.

Hey... do you want to make believe with me?

- Zoom!

I'm zooming up near the stars!

- Hoo hoo!

Hi, Amelia.

I'm Ebenezer the Turtle.

And I go sooo slow.

(giggling) - Look at all these nifty galifty puppets.

What is your puppet show going to be about?

- It's about Ebenezer and he's sooo slow.

- No!

It's about Amelia and how she's zooming and zooming all around!

- No, no!

It's about my dragon and he says ROAR, ROAR!

- My, my, my.

It sounds like you all have different ideas for the puppet show.

- But what idea should we do?

- This is a problem, hoo hoo.

- ♪ If there's a problem, talk about it and make a plan ♪ - Good thinking, Daniel.

Why don't you all talk and make a plan for your puppet show?

(all assenting) - Maybe the plan could be that Amelia zooms into space, 'cause she likes to go to the moon.

- Oh, and she could meet Dragon in space, and, um, he could give her a ride to the moon.

- And maybe when they go to the moon, they meet Ebenezer there, and they all have a party.

- I like that plan!

- Me too!

OK, we have our plan.

- Wonderful.

I'm proud of you.

Everyone, let's start the puppet show!

- Ooh!

Don't start without me!

- (Elaina): Presenting... the story of Ebenezer the Turtle... - I go sooo slow.

- ...and Amelia the astronaut.

I'm exploring in space.

And the big, green dragon!

- ROAR!

(chuckling) - One day, Amelia the Astronaut was flying through space.

I love to zoom through space!

- Come take a ride on me, Amelia.

I'm a friendly dragon!

How are you?

- So Amelia flew on the dragon all the way to the moon!

- And they met Ebenezer the turtle there.

I live on the moon now.

- They became great friends and then they had a party.

- And they all sang a song!

- Hi, my name is Ryan and I'm at the library and I'm gonna see how they make puppets!

Hi, Carol!

- Hi, Ryan!

Do you wanna learn how to make a puppet?

- Yeah!

- So, Ryan, I brought a bunch of shapes with me today.

Let's look for bodies and wings first.

What do you think?

And then we can figure out legs.

Which one looks most like the shape that you want?

- I feel like this one looks like a flamingo.

Flamingos have long beaks.

- I have a whole bunch of different colors that you can pick from for your bird.

- I think maybe the blue would be good for the wings and then I could make it pink.

- What I'm gonna ask you to do is rip some strips.

Perfect.

And so we ripped our strips.

Now we're gonna dip our finger tips; I dip it in the paste and I touch a piece of paper like this and what we do is just cover the whole puppet.

So it's rip strips, dip your finger tips, slip your strips, skip the drips.

So we're gonna do something called itty-bitty dip, with one finger tip.

Yeah.

And then just rub over it so it gets nice and smooth.

Touch that red, yeah, put it where you want it.

Just take a look at it from every direction and decide if there's one last finishing touch I wanna do or if I feel happy with the way it looks.

- I feel happy with the way it looks.

- Put your stick in.

- Thanks for showing me how to make a bird puppet.

- Oh, you're welcome, Ryan.

- Thanks for coming, neighbor!

Bye!
