Hi, out there!
It's me, steve.
Have you seen blue, my puppy?
There he is!
Come on in.
[Barking happily]
Oh, hi.
Come on in.
Blue and I were just learning
About my new favorite animal, the giant anteater.
Have you ever seen a giant anteater?
They look like this.
[Chuckles]
See, that's my giant anteater face.
Can you make one?
Yeah!
Pretty good.
Come on.
You got to see this.
It's so cool.
[Barks "hello"]
Hey, blue, look who's here.
There it is-- the giant anteater.
[Barks excitedly]
Isn't it great?
You see, it lives in the rain forest
And it's got that big, hairy snout
For digging down into holes.
[Slurps]
Ooh! And that long tongue
For eating stuff.
Hey, what do you think anteaters eat?
Ants!
Oh, yeah!
You're right.
Anteaters eat ants.
That's so cool!
Well... I mean, it's not my first choice
For a healthy snack
But then again, I'm not an anteater, so...
[Slurps]
Ooh, blue! Do you want to learn
About another animal?
[Barks happily]
Well, how about the buffalo?
Or the cougar?
Or the mudskipper?
Oh!
Oh... Well
What animal do you want to learn about?
Okay, we'll play "blue's clues."
I simply adore "blue's clues."

Ooh, hey!
Look at that.
Wow!
What do you think it is?
[Gobbling]
A turkey!
A turkey, yeah.
Wow, that was kind of weird.
You know what we need for blue's clues?
Our handy-dandy...

Notebook-- right.
Come on.
[Phone bell jingling]
Steve, I'm being a kangaroo.
Oh!
Well, then let me just get my notebook
Out of your pouch here.

[Music ends]
You know, I can tell
I'm really going to need your help today
Figuring out what animal blue wants to learn about.
You will help me, right?
Great.
Hey, let's take giant steps for blue's clues.
Do you know an animal that takes giant steps?
[Barks]
Oh, right, blue.
An elephant.
Elephants take great, big, giant steps.
Do you want to be an elephant with me?
Cool.
Okay, so elephants are kind of...
[In deep voice]: big and heavy.
Yeah, like this.
Then they got that big, long trunk, like this.
Let's take heavy elephant steps.
[Blue barking]
Did you see which way blue went?
That way.
Oh, that way-- thanks.
♪ We're elephant-stepping for blue's clues ♪
♪ I wonder where they are.
[Imitates elephant trumpeting]
[Jingling]
Steve, what are you doing?
Oh, we're being elephants.
What are you doing?
We're putting our little bear cub, paprika
Into her cave.
But we don't know
Why bears go in their caves.
Do you know?
Why do bears go in their caves?
Hey, let's look it up!
[Barks "ta-dah!"]
Thanks, blue.
[Barks "you're welcome"]
Do you know?
Why is this bear going in its cave?
It's sleeping.
Oh, yeah, it's sleeping.
I guess that's why bears go in their caves.
I think it's time
For paprika bear
To sleep in her cave.
Grrr!
Thanks, steve.
Are you going to take
A bear nap now?
Oh, no, thanks.
I'm an elephant.
See you.
[Starts to trumpet]
Shh!
A clue, a clue!
[Trumpets]
Look, there's a clue!
[Trumpets]
Ooh, look.
It's a clue.
Right here on this, uh...
What do we have here?
Is this green and purple?
No! Black and white.
Oh, yeah, what do you know?
Black and white.
Now we need our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
Ooh!
First, I'll use my white crayon.
So, a curvy shape that we can color in for white.
Then we use our black crayon for this shape.
There-- black and white.
So, we're trying to figure out
What animal blue wants to learn about.
And our first clue is black and white.
So, what animal could blue want to learn about
With black and white?
Ooh... Maybe.
I think we need to find some more clues to figure this out.
Voices: steve!
We need your help.
That sounds like shovel and pail.
Come on.
Hey, there, bird and beaver.
Have you seen shovel and pail?
One's a shovel and one's a pail.
Steve!
[Giggles]
It's us!
Oh! Shovel, pail!
You fooled me.
Did they fool you?
Look, steve, I'm a beaver
Picking up sticks.
But I don't know why beavers pick up sticks.
Do you?
Why do beavers pick up sticks?
Hey, sounds like we need to...
[Barks "ta-dah!"]
Look it up.
[Barks "look it up"]
Oh, yeah, see?
There's the beaver.
Cutting down a tree, picking up sticks.
Why do you think
That beaver is picking up those sticks?
It's building!
[Barks "oh!"]
Oh... Yeah.
That beaver's picking up sticks
So it can build a home for its family.
That's amazing.
Both: yeah!
I love to build.
Cool.
I love to build things.
Do you?
[Barks "uh-huh"]
Look, steve.
I'm singing like a bluebird.
Tweet, tweet!
But I was just wondering
Why do bluebirds sing?
Now, that's a good question.
Do you know why bluebirds sing?
Yeah, let's look it up.
Why do you think
That bluebird is singing?
[Singing]
It's talking to the other bird.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
It looks like those bluebirds
Are talking to each other.
I guess that's why bluebirds sing.
Tweet, tweet, tweet!
I'm a bluebird.
Tweet, tweet!
I'm talking to pail.
Tweet, tweet!
Tweet, tweet!
That's one happy bluebird.
Hey, can you talk like a bluebird?
Let's see.
[Whistling]
Come on, bluebird.
I'll go build us a little house.
Both: thanks, steve!
Hey, thank the animal expert.
[Frog croaking]
Let's be frogs!
We can hop for clues.
Come on!
[Croaking]
A clue, a clue!
Right there!
A clue?
[Croaks]
Oh, you see a clue!
Where?
Oh, right here, on this... This...
What is this?
Ice!
Ice-- very nice.
We need our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook-- right.
Okay, ice.
So, we draw the outline of a block of ice
Then squiggly lines inside.
And we have ice.
So, we're trying to figure out
What animal blue wants to learn about.
What was our first clue?
Black and white.
Black and white.
Right.
And now we have ice.
Nice.
So, what animal could blue want to learn about
With black and white and ice?
Possibly.
I think we need to find one more clue.

[Hoot turns into a laugh]
No more monkey business.

What's the matter?
Nothing, just a little chicken.

It's a letter from our friends.
Hey, steve, we're checking out some animals.
The monkeys are picking bugs out of each other.
The monkey just sitting around, not doing anything.
[Hooting like a monkey]
Boy: one polar bear likes to really fool around.
Polar bear live in the north pole in the cold weather.
She's eating a fishy breakfast.
They eat fish, salmon, sometimes seals.
They love to play.
Sea lions have outside ears.
They use their whiskers to sense their food.
Hello!
[Sea lion barking]
[Imitating bark]
I think he's saying, "bye, steve."
Bye.
Hey, let's be fish.
[Barks]
[Barking "skiddoo" tune]
Hello, there.
I'm lady gooddiver.
Hi.
I'm just getting ready to go on an expedition
To find some fish.
[Barks excitedly]
Come on, hop in my submarine
And I'll take you to the bottom of the sea.
You mean, we get to go in the... And...?
[Gasps]
Do you want to go ina submarine
To learn about fish
At the bottom of the sea?
Yeah-- this is going to be so cool!
[Barking]
[Barking curiously]
We're going underwater.
Look, there's a porcupine fish.
[Barks]
And a sea horse.
Look at all these sea creatures.
[Mouthing silently]
This is where I need your help.
We need to find
These camouflaged fish.
Camouflage?
Yes, camouflaged.
That's when animals look
Like what's around them
So they can hide.
Oh-- great.
Well, we'll help, right?
So, I need to find
This leaf fish
And I think it's hiding
Somewhere around here.
Ooh... Leaf fish.
Well, it's kind of brown and scaly.
[Barking in imitation]
Do you see where the leaf fish is hiding?
Over there in the leaves!
Oh, yeah!
The leaf fish can hide in those leaves
Because the leaves are the same color
As the fish.
Wow!
Well, why do you think the leaf fish is hiding?
Lady gooddiver: oh! I think the leaf fish is hiding
To protect itself from that big fish.
Ooh.
Good thing for camouflage.
Now I need to find
The rockfish.
It lives at the very bottom
Of the ocean.
Oh, okay... Rockfish.
Well, it's kind of grayish and, uh...
Do you see
Where the rockfish is hiding?
Over there!
In the rocks!
That's so cool!
The rockfish looks just like those rocks
So you can hardly see it.
It's hiding again.
Why do you think the rockfish is hiding?
Did you see that?
I think the rockfish s hiding
So it could catch the little fish
And eat it.
Oh, I guess
Sometimebig fish catch little fish
And eat them for food.
I think the parrot fish
Lives around here.
Ooh, parrot fish-- very colorful.
So, do you see
Where the parrot fish is hiding?
Right there!
That's amazing!
The parrot fish is hiding in that bubble.
Why do you think the parrot fish is hiding?
Oh, yeah.
The parrot fish made
That hiding place
All by itself
So it can sleep safely.
Wow!
Good job
I founall the fish
I need to find.
Let's go bk up.
[Barking excitedly]
Thanks for the trip.
Any time.
You guys are great submarine divers.
[Barking happily]
Hey, look at that crab.
It's got those claws for picking stuff up
And it kind of scuttles sideways, like this.
Come on.
I'm a crab, steve the crab.
A clue, a clue!
Oh, it is a clue!
But what is it doing?
Is it kind of scuttling, like we are?
No!
No.
Well, it's not hopping, like the frog.
[Croaks]
Hmm.
Is it kind of...
Waddling, like this?
Yes!
Yeah.
You're right, it is.
It's waddling.
So, waddling is our third clue.
You know what we need?
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook.
Right.
Okay, waddling.
We can draw little footsteps with some ovals here, like this.
And then some lines for the motion...
And we have it-- a waddling motion.
[Chuckles]
Our third clue-- waddling.
Hey, our final clue.
We have all three clues!
We're ready to sit in our...
Thinking chair!
Thinking chair.
Right. Come on.
[Barking "skiddoo" tune]
Okay, no we're in our thinking chair
Let's think.
You will help me, right?
Great.
So, we're trying to figure out
What animal blue wants to learn about
And our clues are:
Black and white
Ice
And... A waddling motion.
Hmm.
So, what animal could blue want to learn about?
Black and white, ice and a waddling motion.
Well...
Maybe... Maybe it's a black-and-white animal...
Yeah...
That lives on the ice.
So, what animal could blue want to learn about
That's black and white, lives on the ice
And maybe waddles?
A penguin!
A penguin-- that's it!
Penguins are black and white, they live on the ice
And they waddle, like this.
We just figured out blue's clues!
♪ We just figured out blue's clues ♪

Hey, blue, let's waddle on over
To our animal book
And learn about the penguin.
[Barking]
Okay, let's see.
Penguin... Penguin.
I want to learn about the penguin, too.
Yeah!
What dopenguins do?
Look.
It's bluebird and beaver.
Remember when we helped shovel and pail
Figure out why beavers collect sticks
And bluebirds sing?
Penguins are fascinating.
Oh! Hi!
Look, it's lady gooddiver.
Remember when we went in that submarine
And looked at all those fish?
Cool! We're all here.
Let's learn about the penguin.
There it is, black and white
Waddling around on the ice.
Must be cold.
It is cold.
Penguins live in antarctica--
One of the coldest places in the world.
If it's so cold
Why doesn't the penguin have a coat?
Good question.
It does.
The penguin's feathers are like a special coat
That keeps it warm and dry.
Can the penguin flap its wings and fly?
Like a bluebird?
No, penguins don't fly.
They use their wings like flippers
So they can swim.
Look!
[Splashes]
[Blue barks happily]
Thanks so much for all your help today.
You know, I never asked you.
What's your favorite animal?
Oh! Yeah!
Good one.
