[Music]

pbs kids

hey now

hey wow

here's how

come and read

between the lions

[Music]

is

[Music]

thinking between

[Music]

[Music]

dad said the story in this book is about

a fox who climbs up to the moon on a

rope it is it is no really you can't

climb up to the moon on a rope but it's

impossible

so what's it really about stop kidding

around well i'm not getting around son

no look the the title is moon rope and

it's written by lois ellert oh and look

lionel there's a box on the cover that's

a cool fox yeah it is it is a bad box

all right here we go

moon rope

ball was taking a break from digging for

worms when fox came by

mole

he said

if you could have anything in the world

what would it be

[Music]

worms worms more worms

mole said what about you

i want to go to the moon

the moon

mole gulp how

i'll think of something said fox and he

ran off through the grass

[Applause]

fox liked running through the grass

it tickled his fur and that gave him an

idea

why not make a rope of grass

with a loop at one end he could hitch it

to the tip of the moon and climb up

fox ran back

mole i've got it

both of us can climb to the moon on my

rope

mole blinked

both of us

there are big worms up there

said fox

huge moles stomach growled

he'd go

mull and fox braided grass into a long

rope and waited for a crescent moon to

appear

then

fox twirled the rope high over his head

clunk it fell down and hit him right on

the nose

fox growled he was mad

maybe the birds would carry our rope

said mole

but the birds didn't want to go to the

moon

just hitch this rope to the tip said fox

we'll do the rest

[Applause]

so the birds took the rope in their

beaks and flew up up up into the sky

mole and fox waited

when they returned the bird said you're

always ready

fox started climbing paw over paw eager

to be first on the moon

maul followed claw over claw

fox kept his eyes on the moon but not

all he kept glancing back to earth

suddenly moles claws slipped he fell

through the air down down down

[Applause]

[Music]

mole landed on a bird they had been

following the two climbers

mole hung on tightly as he was carried

back home he hoped to land unnoticed

but all the creatures were watching

they laughed at mole

maybe you didn't slip said snake

maybe you let go on purpose so you could

come back home

mole was upset by all the fuss

he ran away and dug a deep tunnel

he stayed there for a long long time

[Applause]

to this day mole prefers to come out

after dark moving quietly in the

moonlight avoiding the other creatures

and he never ever listens to a fox

but what about fox did he make it to the

moon

the birds say that on a clear night they

can see him in the full moon looking

down on earth

mole says he hasn't seen him

have you

is

[Music]

flying off the shelf once again it's the

continuing daring and dangling

adventures of

cliffhanger

today's adventure episode 900

cliffhanger the mole and the rope

[Music]

me

excuse me

we find cliffhanger where we left him

last hanging from a cliff

can

hold on much longer

suddenly cliff notices a very large mole

popping out of a hole and holding one

end of a rope cliff gropes around in his

backpack and extracts his trusty

survival manual

using his noted decoding skills cliff

begins to read

[Music]

if you notice a mole holding one end of

a rope

ask him to throw you the other end i

hate to impose mr moles sir but might

you please be so kind as to throw me the

other end of your rope

i shall do what you propose

is this the moment cliff has hoped for

mr melser i want to express my gratitude

for your extraordinary kindness oh

you're welcome

in fact since you've enjoyed receiving

the end of my rope so much

i've decided to give you

the whole rope

i'm at the end of my rope

and that's why

[Music]

can

hold on much longer

long o

o

rope

[Music]

oh it's okay leona honey i know you're

disappointed

but i needed the rope to climb up to the

moon and this is all i found i don't

think it's enough

don't think leona the moon is very very

far away

even if you had all the rope in the

whole world you couldn't climb up to the

moon oh i wish it were closer yeah leona

yeah take a look to my telescope it'll

make it feel like the moon's a lot

closer okay good idea son

see leona that's mine

it does look closer i feel like i could

touch it

but where's the fox well there is no fox

honey but do you see the man in the moon

huh

man

no

i see you know

lionel was only joking honey but keep

looking

oh okay

um

i see him i see the man in the moon

he doesn't look like he's made out of

cheese

that's because the moon isn't made of

cheese

you'll learn something new every day

[Music]

[Music]

and now moon fans more about the moon

[Music]

welcome to the moon

can't hold on much longer

i'm jumping like a kangaroo all right of

course uh

leona why are you jumping like a

kangaroo because i'm so happy i feel

like jumping like a kangaroo at first i

thought i'd jump like a bunny you know

but that's not high enough maybe a frog

but a kangaroo okay so um

why is it you're so happy

well see i love the moon and i told mama

and she said there's a website with a

video all about the moon it's all set up

for us in the computer room and i'm so

happy

[Music]

dear diary today my best friend katie

told me about how the moon is like so

cool

katie says

the moon is way bigger than it looks

it's really humongous

it only looks small because it's so far

away

she told me the moon is 225

000 miles away if we wanted to walk to

the moon which katie says is impossible

we'd have to walk all day and all night

for 31 years

and we need like a gazillion pairs of

shoes

oh and another thing you know how

sometimes there's a big round moon

and sometimes it looks like only half a

moon and sometimes it looks like just a

little sliver of a moon well katie says

the moon isn't changing it just looks

like it's changing

the moon circles around the earth and

the sun is always shining on it

but when we look up at it

sometimes we see just a little of it

sunny side

[Music]

sometimes we see more of the sunny side

of the moon

[Music]

sometimes we see all of the sunny side

of the moon

that's when it's a big round circle in

the sky

it takes 28 days and nights for the moon

to go from a full moon to a half moon to

a crescent moon to a dark moon

then back to a crescent to half to bull

again

and the coolest part

katie told me people have actually gone

to the moon but you know what

they've all been guys

so katie and i decided that we're going

to be the first girls on the moon

on a super fast spaceship we'll get

there in three days

of course we'll have to take the right

clothes

on the sunny side of the moon it gets to

273 degrees that's so burning hot

on the dark side of the moon it drops to

minus

244 degrees that's ultra breezing

the good news is that the moon has no

wind so my hair won't ever blow in my

face

but katie says the biggest problem

is breathing there's no oxygen to

breathe

so we'll need to wear spacesuits to

protect us from the heat and cold

and supply us with oxygen

then we'll see the sights

we'll see the footprints the first men

on the moon left in 1969

the footprints are still there because

there's no wind or even rain to mess

them up

we'll see the flag they planted

and then katie and i will do the coolest

thing of all we'll write something in

the moon dust that will last

forever first girls on the moon

wow lionel do you know what what oh well

come on i'll show you i'm so happy happy

happy happy happy happy

happy happy happy happy happy

happy happy

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

moons make up our solar system very cool

some meteors yep meteors are large
