Hi, everyone.
If you have a pet,
you'll know that animals
need to be cared for.
Some need to be kept warm
in the winter.
But sometimes
keeping animals warm
can be a very
tricky job indeed.

All aboard for a big adventure!

It was Christmas Eve
and it was really cold.
[whistle toots]
Whoa!
Hello, Head Keeper Jack.
Is everything okay?
- Not really, Thomas.
The boiler in the animals'
winter house has broken down.
- Oh, dear!
- We need that boiler
to keep the animals warm,
especially the ones
who come from hot places
like India and Africa.
- Hmm, there must be
some other way
of keeping the animals warm.

been here by now.

It's causing havoc everywhere.
Nothing we can do

boiler's going to get here

Luke once found a little deer
who was scared by
all the noise at the quarry,
and he brought it to a place
that was safe and quiet.
One winter,
I brought some animals
to Tidmouth Sheds
to keep warm.
All the engines helped.
Even James
warmed to the idea.

Come to Uncle James!

is important and can be fun.
