ZEKE: "A House for Snout."

LOUISA: This way!

You've got to see this!

It's the most amazing thing ever!

A shrunken house?

How did it get so small?

Did a wizard do it?

Or maybe a shrink ray?

It's not a shrunken house.

Did you not know?

This is a dollhouse.

It's a place

for dolls and stuffies to play in.

You should get this one for Snout.

[Snout squeaks]

Snout would very much like that house.

♪ Mr. E!

Zeke and I would like to buy that dollhouse, please.

Wonderful. It costs monies.

monies?!

How much have you got,Zeke?

Two marbles and a lint ball.

And one lollipop.

That should do it, right, Mr. E?

I'm afraid we don't accept lint or lollipops as payment.

[both groan]

Now, excuse me.

I have to get back to work.

There are cardboard boxes I need to recycle

before it starts raining.

We all know cardboard and water don't mix.

I love cardboard boxes!

You can make anything out of them.

Come on!

♪

I have an idea.

What if we used those boxes

to make a house for Snout?

That's even more fun than buying one.

Plus, I get to keep my lollipop.

♪ Mr. E!

How much do these boxes cost?

Oh, uh, you can have them for free.

Now, that's a bargain.

Let's pretend to be recycling trucks

and take the boxes to my house.

Vroom, vroom.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

Vroom, vroom.

Good day! Enjoy your boxes.

Did you not know recycling trucks don't talk?

Beep, beep, beep.

Good thing we got back before it started raining too hard.

Only one box got wet.

Mm-hmm? Yep. Okay.

Snout says he wants his house to have a movie theater,

a pool, a skating rink, and an elevator.

He did not say that.

He did, too!

He just wants a cozy little house with a living room,

a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

LOUISA: Well, it's your house, Snout.

Let's build it!

Safety first.

Grandma Super always puts on a construction hat

when she's building something.

[grunts]

Snout would like to create the bedroom first,

so, if he gets tired, he can take a nap.

This box looks like a good size for Snout.

I'm going to have Snout test it out.

Snout says...

[in squished voice]: "This box is too small-- I'm smushed."

We need to improve it.

Let's test this bigger box.

Do you like it, Snout?

He's thinking.

Snout says we need to improve it.

It's the right size, but it's too empty.

Did you not know it's not a bedroom yet,

because we haven't made a place for you to sleep?

Let's create one.

This is my hidden treasure box of stuff I've found.

We can use it to create furniture.

Look.

An old onion bag, hmm.

We could create a hammock out of this,

like the one you sleep in.

I was gonna say that.

Snout's gonna test it out.

He likes his hammock very much.

Snout says he needs a snack before bed,

so he needs a kitchen.

Okey dokey.

This looks like a good box for the kitchen.

It has forks and knives on it.

And this little box can be the refrigerator.

But it needs Snout's favorite snack.

He wants apple sauce, because that's my favorite.

Uh-uh.

Snout's favorite snack is strawberry jam.

I'll get it.

You should have gone with the apple sauce.

Try a bite, Snout.

Hey! You got jam on him.

Snout doesn't like a jammy face.

Snout sure is moody.

He is not.

Is too.

Do you like your kitchen, Snout?

He likes it very much.

Since Snout spilled jam on his face,

he's gonna need a bath after his snack.

He didn't spill jam, you did!

That doesn't matter.

He still needs a bathtub.

Let's use this round cardboard box.

Now we need to fill the box with water.

I don't think we can.

Remember what Mr. E said?

"Cardboard and water don't mix."

If the bathtub is made of cardboard,

it'll get soggy like that box.

I know.

[pots and pans clatter]

I'm going to test this plastic bowl.

Hey! I wanted to do that!

It works.

The bowl isn't soggy.

I'll put it in the house.

Louisa!

I want to do it!

No!

[knocks]Go away!

What's wrong?

You're not listening to me.

I wanted to test the bowl.

I wanted to make the hammock.

And Snout is not moody!

Sorry-- I promise I'll do better.

[knocks]: Zeke?

What does Snout like to do after he takes a bath?

He likes to read a bedtime story in a comfy chair.

Want to create a living room for Snout to read in?

Okay.

You pick out the box for the room,

and I'll make the comfy chair.

Look, a bean bag chair.

Test it out, Snout.

Is it comfy?

He says it's the most comfiest chair ever

in the whole world, Louisa.

Do you want to make a book for Snout to read?

Yes!

Look.

It's a book about you, Snout.

He says it's a very good book.

LOUISA: Bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, living room.

We created all the rooms Snout wanted.

Test it out, Snout.

ZEKE: Uh-oh.

Snout has a rumbly tummy.

Time for a snack.

Snout can't walk through walls.

We need to make doors to improve the house.

♪

LOUISA: I'll use the scissors to cut a trapdoor

so he can get downstairs to take a bath.

ZEKE: And I'll cut out a door to the living room,

so he can get comfy and read a book.

Test it out, Snout.

Now he can go from one room to the other.

We improved it.

ZEKE: Uh-oh.

How is he supposed to get downstairs?

Mmm, with a parachute?

ZEKE: Snout could use a parachute to go downstairs,

but he can't use one to go back upstairs.

ELLIE: Yeah! [laughs]

Yay! [laughs]

A fire pole!A fire pole!

♪

Cool beans.

Snout can use the straw slide

to slide down and then go up, just like Ellie does.

ZEKE: Test it out, Snout.

We improved the house.

Welcome to your brand-new custom-built house, Snout!

As you can see, Zeke and I created, tested,

and improved everything here

to make your forever dream house!

He says there's one thing missing.

Snout likes to look at the stars in the starlight room,

so he'd love to look at the stars at night in his hammock.

Let's make a window in the roof.

Snout says he still can't see the sky.

Because why not?

Stars are outside, not inside.

So we got to take him outside.

[rain falling]

[both gasp]Rain.

The house is getting wet!

"Cardboard and water do not mix!"

Wait here-- I have a plan.

♪

Stay right there, Snout.

We're testing something out.

We can open the umbrella if it's raining,

and close it when Snout wants to see the stars.

Let's see if Snout likes it.

ZEKE [yelps]: I'm getting wet.

Open the umbrella.

We worked it out.

We improved the house.

Want to decorate it now?

Sure.

Don't watch us, Snout.

We want it to be a surprise.

Right, Zeke?

Snout and I both have the same favorite color--

blue.

What are the chances of that?

BOTH: Three, two, one-- ta-da!

What do you think, Snout?

Snout says he loves it!

He says it's way better than the house in Mr. E's store

because we created it.

LOUISA:We worked it out just for you.

[snoring]

He fell asleep?

He's tired.

Creating a house is a lot of work.

ZADIE: "JunJun's Brain Freeze."

LOUISA [laughs]:Zoom!

Testing, testing.

Camera's ready.

Clapper?

Question-Asker?

[tapping lightly]

Super-ready!

Okay, everyone's here.

You know what else is here?

ALL: Springtime!

Hooray!

If we're going to make a "Hooray for Spring" video,

we got to do it right.

First, we need to find someone to be in our video.

Then, when I say "Action," you say...

Take one.

And then I ask the question.

[span tts:fontStyle="italic">"Kamusta![/span> Could you please tell us

your favorite springtime sound?"

You got it.

Let's roll, everyone.

♪

[cheering]

ELLIE: Yippee!

Do you hear something?

You mean this?

No, not that-- listen.

ELLIE: Woohoo! Yippee!

Yeah! [laughs] This is awesome!

It's Ellie!

Let's see if she'll be in our video.

Ellie, Ellie, wait up.

Morning.

I'm practicing my rope rescuing.

Anyone here need a rescue?

Not a rescue, but can we ask you a question?

For our video about spring?

Sure thing.

But please ask it fast.

My arms are getting tired.

[grunts, laughs]

This will take two seconds.

Ready, team?

Yes!Yes!

And... action!

Take one.

[tapping lightly]

Uh, uh...[gasps]

[grunts, yelps]

[whispering]: JunJun, ask the question.

Quick, before she slips any more.

[yelps]: Wow!

I'm all good.

Sorry, you'll have to ask me later.

What happened, JunJun?

Are you okay?

I don't know.

I got a little nervous,

and then I forgot what to say.

That's okay-- I get nervous, too, sometimes.

Let's find somebody else to ask a question.

[gasps]: I bet we could find someone at the Creation Station!

You bet.

ZADIE: Huh.

I was thinking we could ask Leiko,

but I don't see her.

Here she comes.

Places, everyone.

I'm going to get a really cool shot from below.

And action!

Take one.

Morning, Zadie.

[tapping lightly]

Uh... [grunts] Mmm...

Hey, JunJun, what's up?

Uh, uh... [sighs]

Cut.

Why didn't you ask the question?

I, I got nervous again and just went poof.

I couldn't help it.

Leiko made younervous?

But you talk to her all the time.

It's not Leiko, it's that.

The camera.

When it's on, I suddenly think,

"The whole Treeborhood will be watching this video.

Watching me!"

I get so nervous, it's like my brain freezes,

and I can't even talk.

But I'm supposed to be the Question-Asker.

What can I do?

Everyone gets nervous sometimes.

We'll just work out a way to help you relax.

Hmm...

A-ha! I have a plan.

Follow me.

I took this class with Quique

called Belly Breathing for Busy Brains.

Sometimes, when my brain's all noisy or nervous inside,

I find someplace quiet, sit like this,

and breathe.

[breathes deeply]

Belly breathing helps me relax,

so it might help you, too. [inhales]

[both inhale]

♪

[exhales]

[exhale]

That was pretty relaxing.

Thanks, Zadie-- I'll try it.

QUIQUE: Look out below!

Ooh, sorry about the goop.

It's a new lava lamp recipe.

No worries, Quique.

Hey, would you be in our "Hooray for Spring" video?

All you have to do is answer JunJun's question.

Sure thing-- ask away.

Wait just one sec.

I have to do something first.

Take a deep breath and hold it...

[inhales]

[exhales]

Now I'm ready.

Action.

Take one.

[tapping lightly]

Uh...

Ooh-wee, love the new look.

[whispering]: Zadie, help him out.

Uh, Quique.

Can you tell us your favorite springtime sound?

Well, I love baseball,

so whacking a good home run.

[bat hitting ball loudly]

Cut.

We did it!

[Zadie and Kaya laugh and cheer]

Yes!Yes!

High-five, JunJun.

Huh?

Where are you going,JunJun?

We did it.

[sighs]: I didn't do it.

You did it-- you made it look so easy.

Why can't I ask the question like that?

So the breathing didn't help?

Nope.

The minute the camera went on,

my brain froze up.

I have another plan you can try.

A Power Pose.A what?

When I'm about to do something super-important,

I need to feel super-important.

So I...

[dramatically]: ...power up! Ta-dah!

So cool.So cool.

When I do my Power Pose,

I feel like I can do anything.

Bye-bye, nervousness, hello, confidence.

So maybe it can help you, too, JunJun.

Let's try it-- come on, Zadie.

[sings fanfare]SAMMY: Wow.

Are you playing superheroes?

Can I play?Oh, hi, Sammy.

We're not playing, we're filming a video.

But we could use your help.

Yay!

JUNJUN: Almost ready, Sammy.

Just have to do one thing first.

[quietly]: Remember what Kaya said.

Act confident.

[dramatically]: Power up!

[tablet camera beeps]Action.

Take one.

Uh... [groans]

[screams]

♪

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

I can't do this.

♪ Why, oh, why

♪ Can't I ask the question

♪ Why, oh, why do I freeze

KAYA: Finally.

We've been looking for you everywhere.

I'm good up here.

You can finish the video without me.

Nuh-uh.

We can't finish the video

without our Question-Asker.

You should be the Question-Asker, Zadie.

You're really good at it.

As both the director and your big sister,

I know you can do this.

I can't do it.

I've tried belly breathing...

[inhales]

[exhales]

I tried a power pose...

But I'm still too nervous to talk on camera.

[sighs]

Oh, yeah? Then how'd you do this?

[playing guitar]

[cheering and applauding]

If you can sing on stage

in front of that many people,

you can definitely be a Question-Asker.

But that's different.

I'm never nervous singing.

I just open my beak and... ♪ Sing!

I've got a plan.

Forget the breathing and the power posing.

Just do what already works for you.

You mean...

Oh, singing!

I can sing my question instead.

♪ Zadie, I've got a question to sing ♪

Let's go do some more. Bye, Ellie!

[laughs]

Leiko, Leiko!

[laughs and yelps]: Shh.

[whispering]: Careful.

It's Hush-Hush Reading Hour.
