Guess what animal
I'm pretending to be? Hop!

I'm a bunny!

Come on! Hop inside with me!

Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop!

Hop! Today, it's my turn to take
our class bunny, Snowball,
home with me.

Teacher Harriet, is it time
to take Snowball home?
- Not just yet, Daniel.

We still have a little bit
of playtime left.

- And then it will be time
to take Snowball home?
- Yes.

- Grr-ific! Snowball, we're
going to have so much fun at
my house. Now is it time to go?

- Not yet. Why don't you join O
and Katerina in the playhouse?

And I'll come tell you
when it's time to go.
- Okay.

Hop hop hop hop! Ow!
- Oh! Are you all right?
- Uh-huh.

But... I bumped my knee.
- Does this help?

- Uh-huh. Thanks,
Teacher Harriet.
- You're welcome.

Because soon I'll be taking care

when you take Snowball home,
you'll need to give him water
to drink, then clean his cage,

brush his fur, and feed him his
bunny food for dinner. Can you
do all of those things?

Do you want to come
to my castle to play?
- Ooh! Yes I do,

but I'm taking care of Snowball.
It's really fun taking
care of him.

It would be really fun
to go to your castle, too.
- So will you come over?

- Well... I'm...

I really want to play at Prince
Wednesday's castle... but
I also want to stay here

and take care of Snowball.

- Oh. Okay.
- We understand, Little D.
We'll play another time.

- Wait! Prince Wednesday, maybe
you can stay and help take care
of Snowball with me?

Is that okay, Mom?
- Well, it's all right with me.
- Me too.

How about I pick you up in a
little while? Sound good to you?
- Yes!

- Will you help us remember how
to take care of Snowball too?

What else did Teacher Harriet
say we should do?

Oh yeah!
Clean his cage!

- That's right! Now, to clean
his cage, you'll need to take
Snowball out.

Can you do that by yourself?
- Uh-huh. I'll be very gentle.

Come here, Snowball.
You need to come out

so we can clean your cage.
'Cause it's kind of smelly.

- Rrrrrroyally smelly.
(giggling)

This is the bunny play room.
- You stay here, Snowball, okay?

And we'll clean your cage.
- I'll empty out
the stinky part,

and you two wipe out
the cage. Deal?
- Deal! Thanks, Mom!

Take out the water
and food bowls...

- Snowball's cage
is kind of messy.
- And I'll wipe it all clean.

- Oh, that looks good.
- There.

Mom, look how we cleaned
Snowball's cage.
- Nice work, you two.

Now you keep taking care
of Snowball, and I'll go
fix you both a snack.

- Royally great!
- Thanks!
- What do we do now?

- We need to brush
Snowball's fur!

- Don't hop away!
- This will make your fur
so soft and fluffy.

We cleaned his cage,
we brushed his fur. Now...

- I have an idea!
We can play with him.

Come on, Snowball!
Try and knock down the cups.
- You can do it, Snowball!

- Yeah!
- He did it!
- One more cup, Snowball.

You can do it!

(giggling)
- Tigertastic!
- All rrrrrrright!

- Who's hungry for a snack?
- We are!

- Why don't you two put Snowball
back in his cage, and
then wash up.

- We'll take care of it.

Into your comfy cozy cage.

Okay, let's go wash up.
- A royally great idea.

- ♪ Washa washa washa...
and dry! ♪

(giggling)
- Wait! Mom, we can't
eat our snack yet.

- Why not?
- We need to feed Snowball
his snack first.

- I think he's very hungry.
- Let's go find a snack
for Snowball.

What do you think
Snowball would want?

How about some... lettuce.

Ooh, and carrots. I think
Snowball will like his snack.

- I think we can do that.

This would go nicely here.
- Yeah!

- This one here...
- So, Snowball, would you like
some celery?

- Snowball, would you
please pass me a napkin?
Rrrrrroyally kidding.

(laughing)
- Snowball, you make
snack time so much fun.

Did you ever take care of a pet?

What did you do
to take care of it?

It made me feel good
taking care of Snowball.

Ugga Mugga!

What are you doing today,
Neighbor?

- This is Maya
with her dog Sparky.

Today, she's helping her dad
give him a bath.

It's one way she helps
take care of him.

Whoa! Out comes the water.

I bet that water feels good.

Then, the shampoo. Dogs use
shampoo too, just like people.

Taking care of Sparky
makes Maya feel good too.

Now for the rinse.

Time to dry him off.

Maya's doing a great job
drying him.

Thanks, Maya, for showing us how
you help take care of Sparky.

- I like meeting new neighbors.

Neigh! Neigh!
Neigh neigh, Neighbor!

Come play with me.

Giddy up! Neeeeeigh!
Whoa... Easy!

Time for dinner, horsie.
Nom, nom, nom! Neeeigh!

I think that food was magic...

I can... I can... FLYYYYYY!

Neeeeeigh!
- Daniel? Could you
come help me, please?

- That's my mom.
But Mom, I'm playing.

- I need your help,
please, Daniel.
- Okay, Mom.

Be right back, horsie.
Let's go see what Mom wants.

(crying)

Heeey! Hi, Margaret.
What do you need, Mom?

- Margaret is a little fussy,
and I can't reach her toys.
Could you reach them for me?

- Okay. There you go...

Margaret, do you want to play
with the squishy octopus?

- Oh, dear.
- I don't think
she wants the octopus.

Do you want this...
red tugboat? Toot toot!

No? Um,

how about this... toucan?

I think she likes the toucan.

- Ooh, good choice, big brother.
- I thought she would like it.

Margaret!
You splashed me!

You're taking
a bath, not me.

- Margaret loves to splash.
I always get wet too!

- Do you like giving Margaret
a bath... even though
she gets you all wet?

- I do. I love taking care
of Margaret...

And you too, Daniel.

- Mm-hmm!

- You can go back
to playing now.
- Okay!

(babbling)
Actually... I think
I'll stay, okay, Mom?

- I would like that very much.
- What else do we do for
Margaret's bath?

- Well, first we do the shampoo.
Can you squirt a little bit
into my hand?

- Okay.
(Squirt! Squirt!)

I like that
sound. Splat!

- Now I can wash Margaret's fur.

- Margaret,
when we wash our fur,

we sing a washing fur song.
Like this...

♪ Wash wash wash your fur!
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm ♪

♪ Washy washy washy washy
until your body is clean ♪

(giggling)
Look how happy Margaret is!
She likes her bath!

And I like helping
with her bath, too.

- It's time for me
to rinse your fur.

- I'll take care of your eyes
Margaret, like this. The water
won't get in them now. Okay?

There's a rinsing song too.

♪ Rinse rinse rinse your fur!

♪ Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

- Almost... and we're all done
rinsing, Miss Margaret.

Now we make her
squeaky clean with soap.

- Squeaky clean!
Squeak! Squeak!

(crying)
- Oh dear.

Oh Margaret, you are being
a squirmy wormy!

- Wanna hold my hands?
- Dan-dan!

- Oh, I always have trouble
getting Margaret to stay still.

with my horsie.

Hi, Horsie. I'm back. Neigh!

My barn... farm animals...

and fences...

and a hippopotamus?

Wait... does a hippo
live on a farm?

No... but if I had a farm,

I would let a hippo and
elephants live on it.

now... But I have to make it.

She's having
a hard time waiting.

- Hi, my name is Veronica,
and today I'm at a bunny farm

with my friend Karen. Can we go
see some bunnies, Karen?

- Sure, let's go.

- How many bunnies are there?
- There are eight bunnies.

There's a mother bunny,
five babies

and two white rabbits.
- Can I play with them?
- Sure.

Hello, Snowball.

Have you ever
held a bunny before?
- Um, I have in my preschool.

'Cause one other teacher,
she had, um,

I don't know what kind
of bunny it is,

but it's the kind
with the red eyes.
- Oh, wow.

Yeah, he does like being
brushed. He's spoilt.

Would you like
to feed the bunnies?

- Yeah, sure.
- Here's some bunny food!

Nope, they don't seem
to be very hungry.

- Karen, thank you for letting
me play with your bunnies.
- You're welcome.

- Can I stay and play with them?
- Sure you can.

- Bye, neighbors!

- I like these visits with you.
