What is it Groove?
- Well, I don't

It's a little,

- Oh, one of those, oh yes.

- (laughs) I'm so
glad you're here,
'cause I need a bit of help.
I found this thing on the beach,
and I don't know
what to use it for.
Have you got any ideas?
- You could use it as a hook.
- A hook?
What a Hoobacious idea!
(Tula laughs)
But what could I
hang on my hook?
It needs to be something
small, doesn't it?
- What about a
necklace or a bracelet?
- Good idea!
- Yeah!
That would be just perfect!
What else could I hang on it?
- Some keys!
- Keys?
Oh, the keys to the Hoobmobile?
That's Hoobygroovy!
I think I'm gonna go straight
back and try that out.
Thanks, Tiddlypeeps!
Oh, by the way, I
don't suppose you know
what that is, do you?
- I do!
- Yeah?
- It's a shark's tooth.
- A shark's tooth?
From a real shark?
That's amazing!
But what about the bit of wood?
- I think that's
part of an old boat.
- An old boat?
Do you know?
I think you're right!
You Tiddlypeeps are so clever!
Did you hear that, Tula?
- Yes.
- Iver?
- Yes
- This thing is a shark's tooth!

Thank you so much, everyone.

to the Hoobmobile now,
so I'll see you
again soon, okay?
Hoobletootledoo!
- [Children] Hoobletootledoo!
(upbeat piano music)
- So that's what it is!
A shark's tooth!
(Tula and Iver laugh)
Why didn't we think
of that before?
- Because usually teeth
are found in mouths,
not in bits of old boat.
- The Tiddlypeeps
think I should use
my white, spiky thing as a hook.
But what shall I
hook on my hook?
- Groove, it's a shark's tooth.
We really ought to find out
what a shark's tooth is for.

He has Hoobloads of teeth.
Great big fangs, they are.

(guitar music)
- Hooby galooby!
I'm going to print that out!
- Hey, look at this, Iver.
I think Tula's
necklace works best
on my little, white,

(machine spinning)
- Oh!
- Wow!
Imagine how many
necklaces you could hang
on those teeth, Tula! (chuckles)
- Now, Groove, Groove,
Groove, Groove.
- What?
- I don't think a shark
uses his teeth to hang
a necklace on, do you?
- Oh, right.
Well, maybe I could
use it to make
a scritchy-scratchy
picture of this shark.
Thank you, Tula.
- Iver?
I've been thinking.
Peeps have teeth.
Now, if we could find out what
Peeps use their teeth for,
maybe it will be
the same for sharks.
- Excellent idea, Tula!
♪ Hubba Hubba hubba hubba ♪
- Well done, Tula!
- Thanks, Hubba Hubba.
- Now you're really
getting somewhere.
I've been looking on Hoobnet

I'm sure you'll come up
with some Hoobacious ideas
about what they're for.
- Oh!
(upbeat music)
- [Hubba Hubba] Now, here's
a smiling Tiddlypeep.
Oh, two more
smiling Tiddlypeeps.
I think we're on
to something here!
Oh, a smiling Peep!
Yes, when Peeps and
Tiddlypeeps smile,
they show you their teeth!
Look, there you are!
Lovely!
Lovely big smiles
and lovely big teeth.
(laughs)
Hoobledupe!
Look, there's a Peep and a
Tiddlypeep, both smiling.
What are they doing?
Having fun smiling!
Ooh, yes!
Hoobletootledoo!
- That's it!
Of course, that's the answer!
Peeps use their teeth
to smile and laugh with!
Hey, Groove.
Groove?
- Hey Iver, Iver,
Tula, look, look.
Look at my scritchy-scratchy
shark picture.
I put the paint on and
then scratched it off
with my little,
white, spiky thing.
(Tula and Iver laughing)
- Groove, it looks like you!
(everyone laughs)
- Yeah, well, if I were a
shark that's how I'd look!
(everyone laughs)
- You know what?
- What?
- We're laughing, but
we don't have any teeth!
- Of course we don't,
Tula, we're Hoobs!
- Oh no, this is
serious, this is serious.
If we don't need teeth
to smile and laugh,
maybe the Peeps don't either.
- Yeah.
And another thing,
do you suppose a shark
ever smiles or laughs?
- No, of course not.
- No, of course not.
♪ Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba ♪
- How are you getting on, Hoobs?
- Not too well, Hubba Hubba.
We thought that shark's teeth
might have something to do
with smiling and laughing.
- Yeah, but we don't
think that sharks
smile or laugh at all.
- No, I think you're
probably right there.
But don't worry, a Tiddlypeep
has sent in a story
to Hoobnet about teeth.
Take a look.
(gentle music)
- [Girl] There was
once a tiny hut
on the edge of a village.
Inside the hut, lived a
little girl, called Imelda,
with her old aunt Mo.
- Hello!
- [Girl] The days
were hot and long.
And there was never
very much to eat.
On market day, Imelda would
gaze at the fruit stores
with wide open eyes.
"If only I had a silver coin."
She sighed.
"Then I could buy some fat,
juicy peaches for aunt Mo."
Imelda trudged her way home.
She was thirsty and hungry,
and she had a strange
feeling inside her mouth.
Later, while Imelda was eating
a hard crust of
bread for her supper,
one of her baby teeth fell out.
"Oh Imelda!" cried
aunt Mo excitedly,
"That means the Tooth
Fairy will come tonight!"
"Who is the Tooth
Fairy?" asked Imelda.
"The Tooth Fairy is as
tiny as a snowflake."
Aunt Mo explained.
"She lives in a
white polished house,
"made of children's baby teeth.
"She takes the baby tooth
from under your pillow,
"and in return for it,
leaves a silver coin."
So when she went to
bed, Imelda carefully
put her tooth under her pillow.
She was so excited, it
was hard to get to sleep.
"You must go to sleep,
Imelda." said old aunt Mo,
"Otherwise the Tooth
Fairy won't come!"
(Imelda gasps)
Morning came.
Imelda woke up.
She looked under her
pillow, and sure enough
her tooth had disappeared!
(Imelda gasps)
In it's place, the Tooth Fairy
had left a shiny, silver coin!
Imelda ran to the market.
And can you guess what she
bought with her silver coin?
Why!
A bag of fat, juicy
peaches for old aunt Mo.
(quirky music)
- So that's why
Tiddlypeeps have teeth!
So that the Tooth Fairy
can make houses with them.
- Yes, Tula.
But I can't imagine that
sharks have a Tooth Fairy.
They don't sleep in beds.
No, they can't put their
fangs under a pillow.
(everyone laughs)
- I think sharks have
a Fishy Fang Fairy,
who swims about
collecting all the fangs
that fall into the sea.
- Or perhaps that's
what this is,
the beginning of a house.
- Oh, I'm not at all
sure about that, Groove.
- Neither am I.
- Hoobybother.
- I know what we should do!
We should get some
teeth of our own.
- Yes!
If we have teeth,
we can try them out
and find out what they're for!
- I could make some!
There's bound to be
something in my Hoobybitsbox
that I could use!
♪ Roma Roma Roma Roma ♪
- Oh, here's Roma!
I'm sure she'll help.
- Hoopledupe, Roma!
(quirky music)
- Hoopledupe, Hoobs!
Hubba Hubba told me you
wanted to know about teeth.
Now, I'm in a dental surgery.
This is where Peeps
come when they need
to get their teeth checked.
Did you know that Peeps
have to brush their teeth
with a thing called
a toothbrush?
This is one here.
- Toothbrush?
- And,
some stuff called toothpaste,
at least twice a day.
- Hooby galooby!
That looks really Hoobygroovy.
- It is very Hoobygroovy
indeed, Groove.
And, it tastes delicious!
Now, if Peeps and Tiddlypeeps
don't look after their teeth,
they get holes in them,
which the dentist,
that'll be me later,
has to fill up.
And if that doesn't work,
their teeth fall out!
- Maybe the shark
didn't brush his teeth,
so that's why it fell out?
- (chuckles) Sharks don't
have toothbrushes, Groove.
Or dentists.
- No, of course not, Roma.
- Silly me.
- Now then, if Peeps
lose all their teeth,
they have to wear
these false teeth.
That's because if they
don't have any teeth,
they can't talk properly.
They talk a bit like this:
This is Roma Hoob,
(Iver laughs)
reporting for Hoob News,
pretending to be
a toothless Peep.
Hoobletootledoo!
- [Both] Hoobletootledoo!
- Well, that's it then,
Peeps use teeth for talking!
(Iver laughs)
- Should we try it out?
If we wear these, we should
sound just like Peeps.
- Wow, Tula!
They look Hoobacious! (laughs)
- Ta-dah!

(Groove laughs)
- I'm so glad I found you.
We've got this shark tooth,
and we can't work out what
a shark uses its tooth for.
We though maybe it
was for smiling with,
but we realized that
sharks don't smile,
do they?
- No.
- And then we thought maybe
they'd use their teeth
for talking, like
you Tiddlypeeps do.
- Sharks can't talk!
- Oh, yes, that's right,
they don't talk, do they?
So what do sharks
use their teeth for?
Does anyone know?

What do sharks eat, then?
- Fish!
- Fish?
Hoobygalooby!
What, like this?
(munching)
- You don't have
any teeth, Groove.
- No, no, none of
us Hoobs have teeth,
but Tiddlypeeps do.
Do you use your
teeth for eating too?
- Of course we do.
- Yeah?
Will you show me how you do it?
(upbeat music)
Hoobygalooby, that's amazing!
Just look!
What a huge bite!
I can see why you need
teeth to eat that.
Now, you're using your teeth
to break your food
into tiny pieces.
That's very clever.
That's what sharks must do too.
Did you hear that Iver, Tula?
Sharks need teeth for
munching and crunching
and chewing and chomping
and nibbling and biting
and eating fish! (chuckles)
Hey, thank you Tiddlypeeps.
You've been very helpful.
But I've got to go now,
so Hoobletootledoo!
- [Children] Hoobletootledoo!

- At last, I thought we'd
never work it out. (laughs)
- What I want to know is
how did the shark's tooth
end up in this bit of boat then?
- Do you know what
I think, Groove?
- What?
- I think the shark
bit into a boat.
- You mean, it thought
the boat was a fish?
- Exactly.

- So, are you ready to
give me your Hoob News
for my Hooberpedia?
- Absolutely, Hubba Hubba.
- Then take it away.
- Hoopledupewhoop to
all you Hoobs out there.
Welcome to Hoob News, the new
show for Hoobs everywhere.
I'm Iver.
- I'm Tula.
- And I'm Groove.
- And today, we've been
asking the question,
- What's Groove's little,
white, spiky thing for?
- To begin with, we didn't
even know what it was.
- [Tula] Then a Tiddlypeep
told us it was a tooth
belonging to a shark.
- [Groove] I discovered
that a shark's tooth
makes a Hoobacious hook
for Tula's necklace.
- [Iver] Then Groove
discovered that he could draw
a Hoobacious scritchy-scratchy
picture with it,
which looked just like him.
- [Tula] But of course,
a shark doesn't use
its teeth as a hook or
as a scritchy scratcher.
We decided to find out what
Peeps use their teeth for,
to see if it was
the same for sharks.
And we thought that
Peeps use their teeth
for laughing and smiling.
- [Iver] But sharks didn't
seem to do much laughing,
or smiling.
- [Tula] So then, Hubba
Hubba found us a story
about a Tooth Fairy.
- [Groove] And we thought,
maybe shark's teeth
are used for building
little fairy houses.
- [Iver] But as sharks
don't have Tooth Fairies,
we decided this wasn't the case.
- [Tula] Roma told us how
Peeps look after their teeth,
and showed us how
they would sound
if they tried to
talk without them.
I made some teeth,
so that we could see
if we could sound like
Peeps when we wore them.
- [Groove] But we didn't.
♪ Oh, nitcho, natcho,

♪ Peeps chitter-chatter

♪ But when Hoobs stick teeth ♪
♪ In their chubby Hooby cheeks ♪
♪ You can hardly

♪ No, I can hardly
understand a word you say ♪
- [Iver] Then we
realized that sharks
couldn't use their
teeth for talking,
because sharks don't talk!
- [Groove] So I went to
see some Tiddlypeeps,
and they told us, sharks, just
like Peeps and Tiddlypeeps,
use their teeth for,
- [All] Eating!
- Hoob-hoob-hooray, Hoobs!
(everyone laughs)
And so it's thanks
once again to Iver,
Tula, Groove, and Roma!
For giving Hoobs
everywhere a little peep
into the world of Peeps.
Hoob!
And remember, wherever you
are, have a Hooblygroovely day,
and Hoobletootledoo!
- [All] Hoobletootledoo!
- Right then, I'm gonna take
my little, white, spiky thing
down to the sea so the
shark can have it back.
- But aren't you going
to use it as a hook?
Or for making more
scritchy-scratchy pictures?
- No, Iver, I'm not.
The shark needs his
tooth more than I do.
Without it, he won't be
able to eat his dinner.
- Oh.
