-Yodel-lay-hee-hoo!

-I'm glad you're having fun too, little guy!

-[yodeling] Yodel, yodel-ee!

-What's next for the babysitting?

I don't know.

Let's check Mama Yodel Bird's list!

Okay, let's see here...

We had story time.

We had snack time.

We just had yodel time!

-Yodel-lay-hee-hoo!

-Now what does your mama want us to do next, uh...

Oh, it's nap time!

-[gasp] Yodel?

-Oh, I know we're having so much fun,

but you need your nap now.

Mama Yodel Bird's instructions!

There, have a great nap, little cutie!

Mwah!

-Yodel-lay-hoo. -Yes. [giggles]

Yes, you do need to take a nap.

Hmm... Let's see,

I'm getting you cozier.

-There you go.

Now you're all nice and cozy and ready for your nap!

[whispers] Good night!

Mwah!

Yodel-lay-hee-hoo! [giggles]

-Baby Yodel Bird!

It's nap time!

I, Donkey Hodie, will get you to nap!

-Uh uh.

-I won't?

You're not napping?

-Uh uh. -But you need to nap.

You're so tired from all of our playing.

A nap will give you more energy to play for the rest of the day!

-[gasps] Uh uh.

-Hm... Think, Donkey Hodie, think!

How do I to get you to nap?

Ooo! When I was little Grampy would play quiet peek-a-boo

to help me fall asleep!

It's worth a try!

[zip!] -Oh, yodel?

[zip!] -[hushed] Peek-a-boo!

-[laughs] Yodel?

-Oh, Baby Yodel Bird!

-Donkey! Hi!

-Shhhhh! Panda, I'm babysitting Baby Yodel Bird,

and I'm having problems with his nap.

-Oh! What a cutie!

Hi! -Yodel!

-[chuckles] What seems to be the nap problem?

Because a lot of people say that I'm an expert on naps

and napping and pretty much everything naps. [giggles]

-I can't get him to take one. -Oh.

-And now I don't know what to do.

-Hmm...

[gasps] I know what to do!

-What?

-When I was little and I didn't want to take my nap,

my mama had a way to always get me to sleep.

With The Dance of the Nap-Nap.

-The Dance of the Nap-Nap?

-Yeah, it's this slow, comforting dance

that my mama would do.

It would put me to sleep in no time!

[giggles] -Oh!

Well, will you try it?

-Of course, I will!

[whispers to off-camera] Hit it!

-Donkey, this napping problem seems to be harder than I...

...thought. Donkey?

-Oh, what-what, who, where?

Oh, I fell asleep watching your nap dance.

-Yeah. But he didn't.

-Hey hey! -Oh, Duck Duck!

Hi! -Oh hi, Duck Duck!

-Hey, I heard you were babysitting the baby yodel bird,

so I wanted to come by and say hey hey!

So... Hey hey!

-Yodel! Yodel!

-Yeah. So, how's the birdie sitting going?

-It was going great until it was time for his nap.

-Yeah! He just doesn't want to nap.

I tried doing the Dance of the Nap-Nap,

which always worked for me when I was little.

-And I tried quiet peek-a-boo, which always worked for me.

-Hmmm. -What else can we do?

-Yeah? Duck Duck, you got any ideas?

-Hmm. Oh! Hey hey!

I remember what always got me to nap when I was little!

My parents would read me...

[zip! zoom!]

-The Nap Book! Mmm-hmm.

-The Nap Book? -Yep yep!

It's a book all about how naps are so great!

-[gasps] -Read it!

-Mm. [clears throat]

Naps are cozy.

Naps are comfy.

Naps are warm.

Naps are cuddly.

-[whispers] It's working!

-Hug your blankie.

Hug your pillow.

Close your eyes.

Feel all mellow.

It's time to nap.

Listen to the nap time chime.

Chime chime chime...

-[whispers] Look, look! He's about to fall asleep!

Chime chime chime...

Yeah. -[softly] Yodel-lay...

[loudly] Hee-hoo! [giggles]

-What? Oh no, no!

He's not napping!

[both snoring]

-Oh, but, uh, someone's napping...

Donkey? Panda?

-Who? What? -When and how?!

-I said he's not napping.

Oh, I thought for sure my nap book would work.

-It worked on me! -Hmm.

-This is so frustrating!

I'm supposed to get him to nap, and he won't nap!

-Yeah, none of our own ideas work.

-Hmm. Our own ideas?

Our own ideas...?

-Yeah, those were our own ideas, Donkey.

-Mmm-hmm. -Well, maybe we can think

of some new ideas to get him to sleep.

-Hmmm... -Hmmm...

-So, we all thought about what worked for us

to help us nap when we were little.

-But what about thinking about what might work

for the yodel bird? -Oh.

-Hmmmmmm! -Mm-hmm.

Hey hey! That makes sense!

What worked for us might not work for somebody else!

-Hmmmmm! -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

-Yeah, what works for the baby yodel bird?

-Hmmm. -Hmmm.

-Oh oh oh!

I remember when the baby was with his momma yodel bird,

he liked his mom to rock him.

-Oh! Well, there's no better rocker than me!

-Ahh. Ahh.

-Check out this rocking action...

-Mm-hmm.

-Oh, he is definitely enjoying the rocking!

-Yeah! Hey hey, I just remembered

that baby yodel birds love to feel a cool gentle breeze

because it reminds them of flying.

Maybe that would help him sleep!

-Mm-hmm. -Yeah.

-One cool gentle breeze coming up!

-Ah, yeah.

Hey hey, he's getting all snuggly!

It's working!

-Okay. What else will work for the Baby Yodel Bird?

-Hmm... Hey, I know!

I couldn't have got him to nap without your help!

Maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore.

just maybe I should go play by myself.
