Hey, scientists, it'’s
Me--sid. I'’m going to take care
Of my grandma'’s dog philbert for
The whole weekend, but first, I
Need to investigate what pets
Need to stay healthy and happy.
Come explore with me, sid the
Science kid, coming up next.
Hey, is this thing on? Ha ha!
♪ Hey, sid, what do you say?
What you want to learn today? ♪
♪ I want to know why things
Happen and how and I want to
Know everything now--oh, yeah!
How does this thing work?
Why does that stuff change?
How does that do what
It just did? Hmm.
What'’s up with the sky?
Do you think I could fly?
The world is spinning
And I want to know why
I got a lot of questions
And big ideas
I'’m... ♪
Oh, I can'’t wait for the
Surprise. Whoo hoo! Ha ha ha!
Ah...oh, hi. Today is gonna be
Great. You know why? Because my
Grandma told me she has a
Surprise for me. What if it'’s a
Giant ice cream sundae or an
Amazing rocket ship? Pshoo!
Whoo! I can'’t wait to find out.
Did someone say, "grandma"?
Oh, grandma, you'’re here.
Hello.
Ha ha! Hi. Oh, hey, do you
Have a surprise for me?
Oh, well, that'’s what I came
To talk to you about, kiddo.
I'’m going on a hiking trip this
Weekend, so do you know anyone
Who could take care of good, old
Philbert, the best dog in the
Whole world? Hmm?
Yeah. Me. Yeah. I can do it.
Yeah, yeah. Hey, is that my
Surprise?
Well, yes. It is...
Yay!
But remember, if you'’re going
To be in charge of philbert,
It'’s your job to give him
Everything he needs.
Oh, I will. Yeah. I'’ll take
Really good care of him,
Grandma. Thank you. Thank you,
Thank you, thank you.
Oh, you'’re welcome, sid.
Okey dokey. I'’m gonna go help
With breakfast. I'’ll see you
Soon.
Great. Thanks, grandma.
Mm-hmm.
Ha ha ha! Oh, this is great.
I'’m gonna have so much fun with
Philbert the whole weekend.
Hey, if I do a good job taking
Care of philbert, maybe I can
Get my very own puppy because
Mom and dad keep telling me,
"Sid, you have to wait," but I
Want to have a cute, cuddly
Puppy right now. Ha! So I just
Got to know, when can I have my
Own puppy?
Sid, breakfast time.
Ooh, great. Coming, mom.
Breakfast time!
Good morning, everyone.
Morning, sid.
Hey, morning, sid.
Guess what. I'’m gonna take
Care of philbert all weekend.
Yeah. We heard. It should be
A lot of fun.
And if I do a good job with
Philbert, can I get my own
Puppy?
Please, please? Pretty please?
Aw, sid, I'’m glad you're
Excited to take care of philbert
For the weekend, but you should
Know that taking care of a pet
Is a big responsibility.
Responsi-what now?
Responsibility. It means it'’s
Your job to make sure philbert
Has everything he needs while
He'’s here.
Oh, no problem. We'’ll run
Around and play all day and all
Night. Like I said, no problem.
Oh, sid, that sounds like a
Ton of fun, but there'’s a lot
More to taking care of a pet
Than that.
That'’s right. There's dog
Food, dog treats.
Dog leash, dog collar.
Alice, does he need a dog bed?
Oh, probably. That'’s right.
Uh, yikes. So this whole
Taking care of a pet thing
Sounds a little harder than I
Thought. Hmm, no problem. After
Breakfast, I'’m gonna investigate
More at school.
♪ I love my mom
My mom is cool

And now it'’s time for the sid
Survey. Today'’s survey question
Is, have you ever taken care of
A pet? Let'’s go get some
Answers.
Here comes the ball, sid.
Ooh, ok. Ha ha!
Boom.
Got it.
Ha ha ha! Good one.
Thanks, gabriela. Have you
Ever taken care of a pet?
I'’ve never taken care of my
Own pet, but my older brother
Mateo has a goldfish, and
Sometimes I feed it
Little flaky things.
Wow.
He loves them, and he goes,
"Bloop bloop bloop bloop."
That'’s cool. Thanks,
Gabriela.
"Bloop bloop bloop."
Huh? Oh, hi, guys.
Hey, sid.
Hiya, sid.
So, gerald, have you ever
Taken care of a pet?
Um, I don'’t think so, but,
Oh, if I did, I'’d want to get a
Walrus.
A walrus? Where would you
Keep him?
In my bathtub.
Ha ha! That'’s a pretty good
Walrus, gerald.
Thank you.
So, may, do you take care of
A pet?
Yes. I take care of my cat
Moo shu every day. I give her
Cat food and water, and I play
With her, and I do it all
Because I love her.
Wow, may, it sounds like you
Do a great job keeping moo shu
Happy. Ha ha!
Thank you.
Sure. Bye.
Bye. Gerald! Where are you?
And now the results of my
Survey. Gabriela says she has
Fed a goldfish, and gerald says
He wishes he had a walrus...
Ar ar ar ar ar ar ar! Ha ha!
And may gives her cat food
And water and plays with her.
Everybody! Rug time!

Thank you. Ha ha! Ar ar ar ar!
Sid, that was very nice of
You to give gerald some fish.
Well, I need all the practice
Taking care of animals that I
Can get, see, because this
Weekend, my grandma'’s dog
Philbert is staying with me.
Oh, what fun, but, you know,
Taking care of a pet is a big
Responsibility.
Yeah. That'’s what my mom
Said.
Well, speaking of moms,
Someone'’s mom is visiting our
Class today.
Gabriela, would you like to
Introduce our guest?
Ok. Introducing a scientist
Who studies cool things in the
Ocean. Let'’s hear it for my mom
The marine biologist--
Dr. Cordoba.
Yay!
Oh, thank you. Gracias.
Hi, everyone. I'’m so happy to
Join you today.
We were just talking about
How to take care of a pet, and
Since you'’re a marine biologist,
I bet you know a lot about
Taking care of animals.
I sure do. You know, a pet is
A living thing, and so are all
Of you. So what kinds of things
Do you all need to stay healthy?
Oh, well, I like to eat
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
Oh, and a snack,
Maybe two snacks.
Yeah. Pets need food, too.
Yes, and water.
And a home.
Very good. Anything else?
Here'’s a hint.
[Inhales and exhales]
Oh. Animals need to breathe.
Muy bien. Very good.
Well, susie, I think they'’re
Ready for their surprise.
Yes.
A surprise?
Come on. Your surprise is
Waiting for you in the...
Super fab lab.
Yeah. Let'’s go.
Let'’s go see what it is.
Ha ha ha!
Heh heh.
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!
Super fab lab! Investigate!
Explore! Discover! Ah!
Look at that.
Wow.
Is this stuff our surprise?
That'’s right. Today you're
Getting a class pet.
Wh--something is in th--
Oh. Oh, look.
Wow.
Wow, a praying mantis.
Yeah. Wait. What'’s a
Praying mantis?
Well, a praying mantis is an
Insect that lives in nature on
Plants and leaves, and it'’s your
Class pet, a gift from me to
You.
Oh, gracias, mama.
De nada. You'’re welcome, and
You can observe your praying
Mantis and study him, just like
Real scientists.
What does he eat and drink?
Praying mantises drink water,
Just like us.
So the water goes in here?
You got it, and you know what
They like to eat?
What?
Crickets.
Yeah!
Crickets? Cool.
It is cool, may.
Hey, hey, should we put some
Stuff in here so he can play?
Great idea. Maybe you can
Find some leaves and twigs so he
Can hide, climb, and get some
Exercise.
Mama, we forgot something,
Remember? You said animals need
To breathe.
They sure do. This screen
Goes on top and lets in lots
Of air.
Boy, taking care of pets is
Hard. There are so many things
To remember.
Don'’t worry. We're going to
Make a classroom pet chart.
That way, we'’ll know whose turn
It is to take care of our pet.
Ok, scientists. Let'’s make a
Nice home for our new class pet.
Yay!
Hey, you'’re a scientist.
You can try this, too. Ha ha!
Ok, scientists. We'’re going
To make a home for a new class
Pet--a hermit crab. Hermit crabs
Like to dig and hide, so add
Some shredded coconut and soft
Soil. You can also use gravel
And soft sand. Hermit crabs like
To climb, so put in a big piece
Of bark and a log. Spray the
Terrarium every day to keep it
Moist and humid and remember to
Add water into a bowl. Then put
In some apples for food.
You can observe your hermit
Crabs every day so you can
Discover how they move and how
They eat and how high they can
Climb. You can explore all the
Ways hermit crabs behave, just
Like a real scientist studying
Animals in the wild. When a
Hermit crab grows, it needs to
Move into a bigger shell, so
Make sure you have extra shells
In the terrarium and since they
Like to climb, remember to cover
The top. Now it'’s time to make a
Chart. Remember, someone needs
To feed him. Someone else can
Give him water, and, just like
Us, hermit crabs need to
Exercise, so make sure they have
Things to climb on. Remember to
Keep their home humid by
Spraying water and don'’t forget
To always have extra shells.
Great job, scientists.
How do you like your new
Home?
"I like it."
I think he does like it, may,
And your new pet chart is a
Great way to remember everything
He needs.
Oh, yeah. Hey, look. My job
Today was to fill up his water
Bowl.
I found leaves and sticks for
Him to exercise on.
My job was to put on his
Metal screen so he could get
Lots of air.
And I got to feed him a
Cricket.
And I'’ll make sure we have a
Supply of crickets to feed him
Every day.
But wait. We'’re only in
School during the week. Who will
Take care of him on saturday and
Sunday?
Oh, don'’t worry. I'll bring
Him home with me, and I promise
To take good care of him.
Oh, thanks, susie.
You know, there is one more
Very important thing your pet is
Missing.
What?
A name!
Oh, yeah. Right.
Ok. I have to head back to
Work, but I had a great time
Today.
Aw, thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Bye, dr. Cordoba.
Enjoy your new pet.
Bye, mija.
Bye, mama.
Bye, everyone.
Thank you.
See you later.
Ok, scientists. It'’s time to
Play with all your new ideas,
And you can also think of a name
For your new pet.
Good idea. Come on. Let'’s go.
And now it'’s time to play
Everyone'’s favorite game show--
"Name...
Our...
Pet."
Ha ha! Ok. Our first
Contestant today on "name our
Pet" is gerald.
Ok. I have the perfect name.
What?
Gerald jr.
Hmm, ok. Any other ideas?
Yes. Gerald sr.
Very good, gerald. Thank you.
No problem.
Ha ha! Our next contestant is
Gabriela. Do you have a name for
Our praying mantis?
Hmm, uh, I don'’t know.
Oh, wait, wait. Now I really
Have the perfect name.
What?
Geraldo. Ha!
Hmm.
Or maybe not.
Yeah. Ok. Our next contestant
Is may.
Hello. I have an idea.
Since our pet is a praying
Mantis, what about manny?
That'’s a good one, may.
Ha ha! We have a winner.
Thank you for playing
"Name our pet."
[Applause]
Ooh.
Ok, you guys. Let'’s play
Pretend.
Ok.
Sid, you'’re the daddy.
Ok.
May, you'’re the mommy.
Ok.
And, gerald, you are their
New pet.
Oh, ok. Ha!
And I am dr. Gabriela, the
World'’s best animal doctor.
How may I help you?
Ooh, doctor, doctor, our new
Pet horse isn'’t eating. What's
Wrong with him?
Oh. Uh...neigh neigh.
We give him yummy foods like
Pizza and ice cream,
But now his tummy hurts.
Neigh neigh. Pbbb.
I know the problem. Horses
Shouldn'’t eat foods like that.
Horses should be eating carrots
And hay.
Neigh neigh!
Ha ha! Wow, dr. Gabriela,
You'’re amazing.
Yeah. You'’re amazing.
Neigh neigh.
Yay!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, doctor, doctor, we'’re
Back. Our gorilla won'’t take a
Nap in the sleeping bag we gave
Him. Yeah. He won'’t go to sleep
At all. He just stays up and
Keeps us awake all night long.
Yeah.
Oo oo ah ah ah!
Oo oo oo ah! Oo oo oo oo!
Ah ah ah ah ah!
See?
I know the problem. Gorillas
Can'’t sleep in a small sleeping
Bag. They like to play and sleep
In nature under a nice, shady
Tree, right, gorilla?
Uh, where'’d he--
Hey, where'’s your gorilla?
I don'’t know.
Oo ah! Oh oh! Ah oh oh oh ah!
Ha ha! I am gerald the amazing
Talking gorilla doctor.
The doctor is in.
Aw, gerald.
Whoa! Oh, no! Ha ha!
And now--buck!
It'’s time--neigh!
For susie--meow!
To sing--woof! Woof!
Go, susie!
Thank you. Wow, look at all
These pets, and what do you all
Need?
Food.

Hey, you know what? Now that
I know how to take care of a
Pet, I can'’t wait to take care
Of philbert this weekend.
Oh, I know you'’ll do a great
Job with philbert, sid.
Thanks.
Ok, my scientists. Say
Good-bye to your new class pet
Because it'’s time to go home.
Ok. Bye, manny.
Bye, manny.
So long, manny.
Bye-bye, manny.
Now, where'’s my sid?
Oh, right here, grandma.
Oh! Ha ha ha!
Ha ha! Hi, grandma.
Hello.
Look who'’s here to see you.
Philbert! Hey, buddy. Ha ha!
I figured, since I was
Bringing philbert over today, we
Could walk home.
That sounds great, grandma.
[Howls]
Okey dokey. Here'’s the leash.
You'’re in charge now, sid.
Let'’s stroll.
Yeah. Let'’s stroll. Ha ha ha!
Look at that. Philbert is so
Excited to see you.
Oh, yeah. I'’m excited to see
You, too, philbert. We'’re gonna
Have so much fun, and I'’ll make
Sure you have everything you
Need.
Sid, you'’re just like me.
I'’ve always loved pets, all
Kinds of pets. When I was a
Girl, I worked on my
Grandfather'’s farm. I used to
Take care of chickens, pigs,
Cows. You name it, I took care
Of it. Then one day, I was ready
To take care of my very own
Animal, and guess what. I got a
Pony. Ha ha ha! I used to ride
My pony and play with it and
Brush it, but it was also a big
Responsibility. Since it was
My pony, I had to feed it, clean
It, keep its stable clean, and,
Worst of all, clean up after it.
Hoo hoo hoo! Stinky. I didn'’t
Mind, though, because I loved my
Pony and wanted to take care of
It, but, boy, it was a lot of
Work.
Ha ha! Wow, grandma, you took
Care of a pony.
You betcha.
And, philbert, now I'’m gonna
Take care of you.
[Barks]
Well, sid, you could start
Taking care of philbert right
Now. It'’s time to take him for
A walk.
Walk? But we just walked
Home.
This? Oh, this was nothing.
Philbert needs to go for a run.
Oh. Ok. Well, I'’m ready for
My responsibility. Um, philbert,
I'’m gonna go put my stuff away
And say hi to my dad, and then
We can go for a run.
[Barks]
Yay!
I'’ll hold on to philbert
For you.
Thanks, grandma.
I'’ll be right back.
Okey dokey.

Whoo hoo! Now, that was a
Good run. Ha ha!
Yeah. Sure was.
Oh, sid, look. I think
Philbert is thirsty.
Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Ha ha ha! I bet he is because
That was a really long run.
Sure was.
Ok, philbert. Time for some
Water, boy.
Yep. Ha ha ha!
Here it comes, boy.
Uh! There.
Oh, and don'’t forget his
Food.
Huh?
Yep.
Ok. Food coming right up.
Uh...
There you go.
There we go. Ooh, that was a
Lot of work. At least he'’s done
For the weekend. Good thing
Because I am tired.
Done for the weekend?
Yeah.
Sorry, kiddo, but I walk and
Feed philbert a few times every
Day.
Every day?
Mm-hmm.
[Sighs]
You know, maybe mom and dad are
Right. Maybe I'’m not really
Ready for my own puppy yet.
Mm-hmm.
That'’s a really big
Responsibility.
Oh, yes.
Hmm, but you know what,
Philbert? I love you,
So it'’s all worth it.
[Barks]
Oh...
I think philbert wants to
Play.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah. Now, that'’s something I
Can do. Come on, philbert.
Let'’s go play.
Whoo hoo! Oh, sid, I just
Know you'’re gonna do a great job

Whoo! Yeah. Oh, and I love
Philbert. Ha ha! Ok. Come on,

Right in here. Ha ha! Come on.
Just a little further. Here you
Go, philbert. Ha ha! A nice,
Comfy bed just for you.
Ha ha ha! Ah, what a day.
You know, I'’ve only been taking
Care of philbert for one day.
I'’m already so tired. Ha ha!
If only there were a way I could
Get some help taking care of
Philbert. Hmm. Ok. I'’ve got it.
Here'’s my super-dooper-ooper-
Schmooper big idea.
[Barks]
Ha ha! I'’m going to invent
The power pet center. It helps
You take care of your pet, even
While you'’re away. All your pet
Has to do is tell the power pet
Center what it wants. Say rocky
The dog is thirsty.
"Ruff ruff ruff ruff."
[Pants]
[Slurp]
"One bowl of water coming
Up." Vrrp! Pshhk!
Or maybe trixie the cat needs
Some food.
"Meow meow meow."
"Here you go, kitty.
Have some food." Brr! Kwak!
Hey, here comes philbert.
Looks like it'’s time for his
Walk, but I'’m at school.
No problem for the power pet
Center.
"Woof woof woof!"
[Pants]
"Woof!"
The power pet center can get
Your pet anything it needs any
Time of day. Yay! And that'’s my
Super-dooper-ooper-schmooper
Big idea. Yay!

Like your new bed?
