-Wha-- What?

What's that sound?

Hmm.

[ Tapping ]

Duck Duck?

Duck Duck!

DUCK DUCK!!

-You don't have to yell, Donkey Hodie.

I'm right here.

-Are you building a birdhouse?

-What? This? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

See, this is a book-swap box. [ Sighs ]

I've always dreamed of having my own little book-swap box.

-You have?! -Mm-hmm.

-What's a book-swap box?

-Oh, you don't know? Well, let me tell ya.

You bring a book, and you can take any <span> book from this box.

-[ Gasps ] Any book? -Yep, yep.

You bring a book, you take a book. You swap 'em.

-You bring a book, you take a book!

-Mm-hmm. -Hee-hawesome!

I, Donkey Hodie, will take one of these books

from your book-swap box.

Be right back! I just need to get a book to swap.

Hee-haw!

-Kee-kee! Oh. Better tighten this up.

[ Humming ]

♪ And a boppida-bee-bah, yeah ♪

Kee-kee. Oh, wait. Ohh. Ohh!

Hmnh! Ahh!

-Duck Duck! Duck Duck! -Hmm? Mwah!

Hello. -I brought a book

to put in the book-swap box, Duck Duck!

-Oh! "Hee-Haw Hannah."

-Yeah, I love <span> this book,

but I have a lot of "Hee-Haw Hannah" books at home.

Now maybe someone else would like to read it.

-[ Gasps ] Ah, that's the spirit of the book-swap box.

Okay, so just put the book right in there.

-Now I can take any book in the box?

-Any book.

-Hmm! That one looks good. So does that one!

Ooh! What about this <span> one? Ahh!

-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

That one?

-Well, yeah. You said I could take any book.

-Well, yep, yep, I did, I did. But you know what?

Uh, you -- you don't want that <span> book, mnh-mnh.

-Well, how come?

-Well, it -- it's not a storybook.

Mnh-mnh. No. It's called "Facts on Facts and Facts."

It's just a bunch of facts.

-What kind <span> of facts?

-Oh, you know, lots of facts like, uh,

a bolt of lightning is five times hotter than the sun.

-No! -Yep, yep.

-And worms don't have eyes.

No! -Yep, yep. It's a fact.

-Sounds hee-hawesome! I'll take it!

-[ Blubbering ] Ya -- Ya -- Ya will?!

Uh, well, uh, kee-kee.

But, you know, i-if you don't like it,

you can always bring it back

and take another one of these fine books.

-I love it already.

-Huh? -Thank you, Duck Duck!

I'm gonna go read it right away!

-But -- But...

[ Whimpering ]

-Ooh!

♪♪

-Hey, hey! -AAH!

-Oh, Donkey! Don't throw the book around like that.

You could ruin it.

-I didn't mean to, Duck Duck. You surprised me.

-Oh, well, uh, how do you like that book so far, huh?

-Well, I've only just started it.

-Oh, well, you want me to read it to you?

Uh, really makes those words come to life.

-Oh, that's okay, Duck Duck. I want to read it myself.

-Oh. Kee-kee. Uh, you're sure?

-Mm-hmm!

[ Sighs ]

♪♪

-[ Gasps ] Oh.

-Hey, hey! -AAH!

Ugh! Oof! Duck Duck? -Yep, yep.

-What are you doing here?

-Oh, I just wanted to come over and see how you like that book.

Have you read about the giant squid yet, huh?

-Uh, not yet, but please don't tell me.

I want to find out for myself.

-Oh, yeah, sure, sure, yeah. Of course you do.

D-Don't mind me. You won't even know I'm here at all.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

-Uh, hey, Duck Duck? -What, what?

-Uh, Duck Duck, it's kind of hard for me to read

with you looking over my shoulder like that.

-Oh! Well, I'm so sorry.

Uh, uh, it's just that, uh --

[ Whimpers ] I really miss my book.

You know, I used to read it every morning

when I woke up and every night before I went to bed

and when I was in the bathtub and when I was --

-Well, you can have it back, Duck Duck, really!

You don't need to give away your favorite book

if you don't want to.

It's your choice. It's okay to keep it.

-No. No, no. It's your book now, Donkey.

That's the whole point of the book swap.

-Huh. Thanks, Duck Duck. I-I know how you feel.

It's hard to give away something you love.

-Hm, yep, yep, it is. -Oh!

Oh, remember when I gave away Crunchie to Bob Dog?

-Oh, yeah!

Crunchie. Your stuffed carrot. I remember.

You were really sad.

-It was so hard to say goodbye. -Hmm.

-So I made up my bye-bye song, and that helped me feel better!

-You wrote a bye-bye song? -Oh, yeah!

It goes a little something like this.

♪ Bye-bye, friend, friend, bye-bye ♪

♪ There's no need for me to cry ♪

♪ 'Cause I'm giving you away to someone new ♪

♪ Someone who will love you as much as I do ♪

♪ So bye-bye, friend, friend, bye-bye ♪

The end! -You're done!

-Done with what?

-This book, Panda.

"Facts on Facts and Facts."

-Huh? -It's hee-hawesome!

I got it from Duck Duck's book-swap box.

-Mm-hmm. -Uh...book-swap box? Huh?

-Yeah! Come on. I'll show ya!

♪♪

-Bring a book, and you can take a book!

-Yeah. It's my book-swap box.

You know, I want everyone to love

all my books as much as I do.

-Yeah, I really <span> love this book, but I finished it,

so now I can bring it back and take another one!

-[ Gasps ] Y-You're bringing it back?!

-Yep, so someone else can enjoy it.

-Oh, oh! I'll read it! -What? Uh -- You?

But -- But -- But, Panda, uh, there are so many other books

y-you might enjoy, especially this.

Look at this one. -Thank you, Duck Duck,

but I think I'll read this one 'cause Donkey likes it so much.

-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Whoa, whoa!

You got to bring a book to take a book. That's the rule.

-I have one right here in my backpack.

It's called "All About Purple."

It's all about purple.

-Oh. Guess you can take the book.

It's, uh -- It's all yours.

-Thank you, Duck Duck! -You're welcome.

-Are you sure <span> you want to give away the book again?

-Oh, sure, I'm sure.

You know, I want Panda to love the book

as much as you and I did.

That's why I made the book-swap box.

[ Sighs ]

-Oh, I can't wait to bring it to Planet Purple!

-What? Planet Purple?

You're taking my book --

I mean, your book -- that book

all the way to Planet Purple in your spaceship?

-Uh, yeah... if that's okay with you.

We're having story time on Planet Purple today.

[ Giggles ]

-Of course it's okay.

It's your book now, Panda.

If you want to take it all the way to Planet Purple,

then that is fine.

That is totally fine.

It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

-I...don't think it's fine.

-Maybe we should go talk to her.

-You know what? It's not fine.

I'm closing the book-swap box.

-[ Gasps ] -Closing it?

I'll just pick another book, Duck Duck. Here you go.

-Well, that's all well and good, but what if you pick

"Dirt and More Dirt"

or "Warthogs, Warts, and All"?

I love those books, too.

-I heard you had a book-swap box, Duck Duck.

I want to try it out.

-Sorry, Harriet. It's closed.

Over. Kaput.

-Oh, that's disappointin'.

Why?

-I'd like to give away my books so everyone can enjoy them,

but, uh, it makes me too sad.

-Hm! It's hard to give away something you love.

That's why whenever I give away a book,

I put a little goodbye poem inside.

-A goodbye poem? -A goodbye poem?

-[ Clears throat ]

"This book was mine. I loved it well.

Where it ends up, I cannot tell.

I hope it brings much joy to you.

Just pass it on when you are through."

-[ Sighs ]

-What a lovely goodbye poem.

-Oh, thank you, Donkey Hodie.

Now, Duck Duck, you don't have to write a goodbye poem.

You can find your own way of saying goodbye.

-Aww, but how can I say goodbye?

I love every fact, every picture in this book.

I even love the picture on the cover and --

-[ Ding! ] -Wait, wait.

What if I draw a picture of it?

-Hmm! I like that idea!

-Yeah! Yeah!

You can keep the picture, and every time you look at it,

you'll remember all the good times you had with the book!

-Yeah, and maybe that will make it easier to say goodbye.

This is a picture of me and my book

flying over Someplace Else. -Oh!

-A-And this is me playing ping-pong with my book.

A-And here's one where

I'm reading my book in my little bed.

-Oh, look at all those happy memories!

-Yeah, you know what?

I think I'm ready to say goodbye to my book now.

You know, it's, uh -- it's really hard,

but these pictures help.

Goodbye, book.

Mwah!

Kee-kee, Panda.

-Thank you, Duck Duck.

Oh, does this mean that I can bring the book

with me to Planet Purple?

-Yep, yep. -[ Gasps ]

-And are you going to open the book-swap box again?

-Yep, yep.

-Ohh, that's wonderful 'cause I think

you'll really like the book I brought, Duck Duck.

It's the sequel to "Facts on Facts and Facts."

-[ Gasps ]

-It's got more facts on facts and facts.

[ Giggles ]

-There's a sequel?!

Aww! Thanks, Harriet!

-You're very welcome.

-Goodbye, Harriet! -Goodbye, Harriet!

-Bye, Harriet! -Oh! Wow!

More facts and facts and facts. [ Gasps ]

Did you know that no two tigers have the same stripes?

-[ Gasps ] No. -No.

-Yep, yep. [ Gasps ]

And did you know that rats have strong teeth

that never stop growing?

-No! -No!

-Yep, yep! And did you know I love this book?

It's not in the book, but it is a fact. Yeah.

-Look, Percival, Bob Dog's looking down at the ground.

I wonder if he's feeling bad and needs help.

He might need help.

"Stop making sound."

-Bob Dog... -Hmm?

-...what's wrong? -Uh, nothing, Panda.

-But you were looking down and holding your head

and crying out.

-Oh, I was just doing whatever the Tater Buddy

said to do for the game.

-And you were hee-hawesome at it, Bob Dog.

So good that you win...

the Tater Buddy prize!

-A badge for Petey. Bow-wow!

Come on, Petey.

Let's go home and try it on.

-Well, I guess I'm not very good at noticing

when a friend needs help. -Oh, that's not true, Panda.

You noticed all the signs someone needed help.

-Yeah, but Bob Dog was just playing a game.

He didn't really need help.

-No, but that was great practice

for when a friend needs help in real life.

-You know what? It was, wasn't it?

-Yeah. Yeah, it was.

Just keep at it.

-Aw, don't worry, Stanley. I am helping friend.

I'll think of a way to help solve your problem.

Uh, let me think. Uh... [ Gasps ]

Oh, I know.

Uh, we can get some potato seeds and plant them

and then grow a potato to be your buddy.

-Oh, that sounds like it could take a lot of time,

and the party is today.

Oh, no. -Oh, yeah.

Don't worry. This helping friend is not giving up.

I'll keep thinking.

[ Gasps ] I know. I have a solution.

-[ Gasps ] What is it? What, what?

-We can both share my Tater Buddy, Percival.

-You would do that? -Well, yeah, of course.

-You really are a true friend.

-Donkey, I did it!

[ Panting ] I paid attention,

and then I noticed that Stanley needed my help,

and then I thought through a way to solve the problem.

I'm helping a friend.

-You sure are, Panda.

-You're always a helping friend to me.

This calls for a celebration.
