Hm?

Oh! [chuckles] Hi there!

It's so good to see you.

And you are just in time.

Come on in!

I was just about to - [sniffing]

Wait a minute...

What's that smell?

It smells like [sniffing]

soap...

[sniffing]

Hmm.

[sniffing]

[gasping] It's you!

[sniffing] Ooo.

Tell me, were you
just washing your hands?

'Cause you smell
all clean and soapy.

[chuckles]

[sniffing] Aah!

Or maybe you smell
this good all the time?

[chuckles]

Well, as I was saying,
you are just in time.

I was just about to go
into the living room

and listen to some music!

Come on.

Oh, uh...

[chuckles] Pardon the mess.

Um, I guess I really should
do a little straightening up,

but...

You know what?

I'm going to do it later.

Today I'm going to do
some serious relaxing

and listen to my favorite radio
show -

"The Cool Music Hour.

Mm-hmm.

When I want to kick up
my paws and relax,

this in the music I listen to.

[through radio] Hey,
all you mellow bears out there.

Welcome to "The Cool Music Hour"

starring Chilly
and the Polar Bear Trio.

-Ooo.
-[radio] Today...

music to hibernate by.

Oh yeah.

Lay those easy rhythms on me,
boys.

[phone ringing]

Hmm? ... the telephone.

Who could that be?

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Bear in the Big Blue House.
Bear speaking.

Oh! Hello, Bear!

This is Henrietta
Vanderpreen calling from

Woodland House
Wonderful Magazine.

The Woodland House
Wonderful Magazine?

Ah, so you know us?

Oh, of course.
It's my favorite magazine.

This is a magazine that shows
you pretty pictures of houses

Uh, what can I do for you,
Ms. Vanderpreen?

Well, I'm calling to inform you
that your home

has been chosen as
the Woodland House Wonderful,

'House of the Month.'

[gasps] My house?
The Big Blue House?

Uh-huh. Yes indeed!

And, if it's all right,

I'd like to take some
pictures of you,

your house and all your friends
to put in the magazine.

Mm. -o-oh, yes.

We would be honored, Ms.
Vanderpreen. Thank you.

Oh, I'm glad you feel that way.

Well, and then if it
isn't too much trouble...

Mm-hmm.

I-I'll be over this afternoon
with my little camera.

Uh, this afternoon?

-Mm-hmm.
-Uh, well you see...

Well, splendid then!
I'll be over-that is-um,

if you would be kind enough
to give me some directions.

Oh, w-we... yes. Well, you
see, you just take the path

-that leads into the woods...
-Mm-hmm.

... uh, make the right
past the big oak...

-Uh-huh.
-go right past the pond

-Uh-huh.
-...and you're there.

I mean, you're here. You'll be
here when you get there.

-[chuckles]
-Oh. Wonderful!

See you soon!

Well, yes. But I-

Goodbye.

Oh.

Wow!

This is exciting.

Woodland House
Wonderful Magazine

is coming to take pictures of...

my messy house.

Hmm.

Guess I have to clean
up now after all!

Now, where did
I put that vacuum cleaner?

Here is my vacuum cleaner.

This will help me make
everything

nice and clean
for Ms. Vanderpreen.

Hey, clean!

Clean. Mm-hmm.

There are lots
of reason to clean.

Well, for example,
when you clean your room,

it's easier to find things.

And it's a good idea
to keep yourself clean

by taking a bath every day.

Yeah. Things look, feel and

[sniffing] smell
better after cleaning.

Plus, cleaning is healthier too!

Yeah. There are a lot
of things to clean.

But I bet you've done a lot
of cleaning in your time?

But, what do you think?

What kind of things
do you clean?

Hm?

What do you think?

I like to clean my room
when it's messy.

I don't like it when
my room's messy.

I like to clean the whole house.

My bedroom...

The windows.

The dishes.

The bathtub.

My stinky socks, heh...

I got to clean the bathroom
'cause you get all wet.

I like to clean... clean my bed.

I love cleaning!

I love cleaning!
I really like cleaning!

Wow! You sure do know
a lot about cleaning.

I like to keep things clean,
too.

Okay, I know it doesn't look
like it right now,

but as soon as I get the living
room all cleaned,

we'll be all set.

Wow! This is so exciting!

I can't wait to tell everybody!

[whistling]

-Whoa, well, what is it, Bear?
-What is it Bear?

-What is it, Bear?
-What's up? What's going on?

-Yeah. What is it?
-Hey, everybody!

We have a very special
visitor coming today!

Ooo. Who is it, Bear?

Yeah, yeah.
Who's the special visitor?

Ms. Henrietta Vanderpreen.

from Woodland
House Wonderful Magazine.

She's coming to take pictures

of the Big Blue House!

Our house has chosen as
the 'House of the Month! '

Oooo, fancy!

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Really fancy.

So all I have to do is clean up
the living room

and we'll be all set!

-Oh. Oh. Well, uh...
-Ah.

Er, y-y-you might want to look
at the bathroom, too, Bear.

Yeah. We were kind of playing
with some water and uh...

it got kind of soaked.

It's just water, though.

Oh. Well, okay.

I'll clean up the living room
and the bathroom, and then,

-we will go -
-Oh. Well, um...

and maybe the bedroom, too!

'Cause, uh, we were
playing dinosaurs on Mars.

Yeah.

[chuckles] Toys all over, Bear!

All over the place.

Oh.

-Toys all over the bedroom.
-Yeah.

-[giggles]
-Well...

Okay,
I'll clean up the living room,

the bathroom and the bedroom.

-[Tutter gasps]
-And then...

-Uh... wait a minute, Bear.
-Let me guess, Tutter...

the kitchen?

[chuckles] Yeah, yeah.

I-I was whipping up a snack
in there

and I-I kind of
made a mess of things.

[nervous laughter]

Okay. Well, seems like the house
is a lot messier than I thought.

-Yeah... yeah.
-Hmm.

I don't
suppose you guys maybe could...

Help you?

We'd love to!

Great! Then let's get started.

It's time to clean up the house!

Yay!

You're welcome, Bear!

[gasps] Hey, does anybody want
to play some hide and seek?

[gasps] Yeah!

-Oh, oh.
-Great!

'Cause, when I was cleaning up,

I found some really
cool places to hide.

-Hey.
-Us, too.

You know,
if you empty out all the stuff

from the closets onto the floor,
it makes a great place to hide.

Oh, yeah, yeah -or if you tear
all the sheets off

-of Bear's bed...
-Mm-hmm.

... and throw 'em on the floor-

-Right?
-Um...

Uh, e-excuse me, everybody.

But, um, you know there are...

there are even better
places to hide outside.

What do you mean, Bear?

Yeah.

Oh, well, um... you know, ah,
you know hiding in bushes

and behind trees and under
a big old pile of leaves...

outside of the nice clean house.

-Ooooh. Wow.
-Cool idea, Bear.

-Yeah.
-That Bear.

-He's always thinking!
-[chuckles] Yeah!

Hey,
come on everybody -to the pond!

-All right.
-Yeah. Yeah.

-Oh boy, oh boy...
-Bye, Bear.

[chuckles] Have fun everybody.

See you later.

Treelo!
How's hide and seek going?

[sigh] Not so good, Bear!

Treelo no find anybody!

Oh, well. I kind of need
to find them now...

See, Ms. Vanderpreen will be
here soon with her camera.

So I want to make sure
everybody is ready.

Oh... Treelo--But I don't
know where they are...

-Here we are!
-Ahhh!

What happened to all of you?

We were hiding, Bear!

I was hiding!

Well, yes... but,
I mean, you're all so dirty!

Hey yeah.
I guess that's what happens...

when you hide outside!

Yeah! In the bushes,
under leaves and stuff.

-Just like you said, Bear.
-That's right.

Well, yeah, I-I know. But-but,
I mean, I just cleaned the...

and all of you are so...

Okay.

Does everyone want to get
their picture taken?

-Ooo, yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.

-Yes.
-Okay.

-Oh.

[roaring]

-Um, I think it's my stomach!

I'm hungry!

-Ooo. Yeah.
-We're all hungry.

Oh. Well, uh, okay.

I-I guess I could make
you all a quick snack.

-[gasps]
-But we don't have much time.

Let's hurry down to the kitchen,
before Ms. Vanderpreen arrives.

-[chuckles]
-Yeah!

[cheering]

Well... they smell really good.

-Yeah, yeah. They do.
-I'm hungry.

What kind of sandwiches
are they, Bear?

Peanut butter and bananas!

Ooooo. Our favorites.

-Yeah, yeah.
-I love banananas.

Yeah. So just be
careful with the milk.

Don't spill any because...

Um, oh!

We just got a bath?

Right! [chuckles]

-Yeah. Yeah. [giggles]
-Enjoy!

-Okay.
-[Shadow's laughter]

Oh boy.
Peanut butter sandwich. Yum.

Hey. Did you just hear that?

[Shadow's laughter]

That sounds like Shadow.

Come on.

You know if we look real hard

and sing a song together,

she might appear.

Sing with me!

[laughing]
Here I am you furry old rug!

[chuckling] Oh! Hello, Shadow!

So good to see you.

So,
what have you been doing today?

Oh. Just dancing along
the windowsills in the attic.

[sneezing] Ah-choo!

I-It's a bit dusty up there.

Oh, uh. Sorry, Shadow

-Guess we missed a spot.
-[chuckles]

-So Shadow,
I was wondering

do you happen to have
a story for us today?

Why certainly, Bear!

Let me see what tidy tale
I can whisk your way.

Just watch!

But I don't do windows.

Wow! What a great story!

"There Was An Old Lady
Tossed In A Basket.

-"Um, Shadow?
-Mmm?

How do you stay clean?

Well, Bear, when my place
on the wall gets dusty,

I just [humming]

move over to a cleaner spot!

[chuckles]
What a great idea, Shadow!

Well, I'm off,

but if you need another tale,
just try and catch me!

[chuckles]

Thanks, Shadow. Bye-bye.

Well, you know, Ms. Vanderpreen
will be here any minute.

Let's go see how everybody's
doing with their sandwiches?

Come on.

-Oh. That was so good.
-That was delicious.

So, are you all done yet?

Oh. We're just putting our
dishes by the sink, Bear.

Great! Let's all go wait

in the living room
for the photographer.

[giggles] Great!
We're all smiles!

-Ah!
-What?

Okay.

We still have time.

a woodland house of wonder!

Yeah. Wonder.

[giggles]

[doorbell ringing]

That's probably Ms. Vanderpreen!

Oh.

Okay, is everybody ready?

Oh, oh. Yes, Bear.

Great!
Hold it. I'll be right back.

Sooo, um, how long do
we have to sit like this?

[mumbling] I don't know.

-I've gotta pee.
-[sigh] Oh.

Right this way, Henrietta.

Everyone,
this is Henrietta Vanderpreen.

Hello, everyone,

delightful to
meet you in the fur.

Uh, Hello, Ms. Vanderpreen!

Yes. As you can see, Henrietta,
we are all ready for you.

Ah... Well, I can see that!

But, mmm,
if you wouldn't mind... well.

What do you say we mess
up things a little bit!

Huh?

Oh, oh, oh.

Huh?

M-Mess up things?

But-but-but, Henrietta,
we-we cleaned the house

and we even cleaned
ourselves just for you.

ALL: Mm-hmm.

-Yeah.
-Well, Bear,

we at Woodland House Wonderful
like to show

our featured creatures
in their natural habitat

-the way they usually live.

Really?

Of course!

And I really don't think
that you usually

all sit around on the couch

with all the pillows in place

here at the Big Blue House,
now, do you?

Uh... Well, no.

Well then!

Let's just loosen
things up a little bit!

Ahhh.

-Ah, thank you.
-Whoa boy.

-Wow, yeah.
-Yes.

That's more like it.

Now, show me how you really
live in the Big Blue House!

Let's have some fun!

-Oh. I was wondering

if I could trouble you
for one more picture

for the cover [of the magazine.

Right here in front
of your beautiful house!

-The cover!
-[gasps] Wow.

That's the front
of the magazine!

-Sure, Henrietta.

Should
we do something special for you?

Oh no! Just-just be yourselves.

Say cheese, please.

Cheese, please!

[photo click]

Ah... the attic.

Isn't it great?

Sometimes I like to come up here

and just look out at the stars.

It's also where I talk
to a special friend.

Let's see if we could find her.

Ahh! There she is.

Hello, Luna!

Hello, Bear.

And how were things
in your Big Blue House today?

Well you won't believe it

but Woodland House Wonderful
magazine

named the Big Blue House
the house of the month!

And they took pictures!

Oh. Woodland House Wonderful!

I've seen that magazine.

It's beautiful.

I know!

So, we cleaned up the house

and we cleaned up
ourselves, too.

Ah. That's just great.

Yeah.

Everybody had such fun cleaning!

It was almost better than
getting our picture taken.

Well, you know, Bear,

sometimes I have to
do a little cleaning, too!

-You do?
-Mm-hmm.

How do you do that?

Oh.

Of course,
I shake off my star dust

by taking a meteor shower!

Wow!

[chuckles] That's amazing.

Hey Luna,

would you sing
the "Goodbye Song" with me?

You know,
I was hoping you would ask!
