When there's a problem,
what do we say?
Work it out, work it out,
work it out wombats!
Where there's a will,
there's always a way
Work it out, work it out,
work it out wombats!
We've got ideas for days
Solve problems lots of ways
I love it when we play
All together
Hey, I'm Zadie,
bring on the problems
Try some different things
till we solve them
I'm Malik, we'll work it out,
just wait
We make some plans,
then we build and create
I'm Zeke, here's Snout,
we like to explore
Let's go do it,
one, two, three, four
Help's never far away,
that's for sure
Work it out, work it out,
work it out wombats!
Come join the fun, get ready,
let's go!
Work it out, work it out,
work it out wombats!
Work it out, work it out,
work it out wombats!
Yeah!
MALIK:
"The Treeborhood Photo Album."
(yawns)
(yawns)
(yawns)
All right.
It's getting late,
little squishes.
Who is choosing the
bedtime story tonight?
I'll pick it!
No, me!
Got it!
Our photo album, huh?
Sure.
It's the story of us.
Ah...
and who is this
little cutie?
Is it... Mr. E?
(giggles)
Gramma Super!
That's me!
(giggles)
There's little Zadie.
(giggles)
MALIK:
And that's me after I
gave myself a haircut.
(giggles)
ZEKE:
Look Snout!
It's you!
And that's me,
when I was a little wombat,
holding Snout.
Snout, do you remember
when I used to cuddle you?
(squeaking)
Snout says you were
a great cuddler.
(all gasp)
I've never seenthispicture.
SUPER:
This picture was taken
a long, long, time ago.
Can you guess where?
Hmmm...
I don't recognize that tree.
I'll give you a hint.
You're there right now.
Well, we're in
the Treeborhood...
Oh...
Oh!
That little tree
is the Treeborhood?
No, it's not.
Where are the houses?
The houses were built later
when the tree grew.
And do you know who this is?
It's your Great-great-great-
great-grandma Willamena.
Willie for short.
She found the tree,
and liked it so much,
she decided to live here!
That is not our tree.
It's too little.
Thisis the Treeborhood.
They're both
the Treeborhood.
The bigger the tree grew,
the more folks came,
and the more folks came,
the more houses were built.
Believe it or not,
our tree started out
as a little acorn,
like this.
There's a little tree in here?
Sort of.
It's a seed.
And if you plant it in dirt,
and give it sun and water,
a tree will grow.
(gasps)
I'm going to grow
my own Treeborhood!
Good night.
(gentle tapping)
Good night, Treeborhood.
Guess what?
I'm growing you a friend
out of an acorn.
It's amazing to think
our big Treeborhood was ever
this small.
Gramma Super, can I show this
picture to everyone tomorrow?
Sure thing.
And maybe I can find
more photos of what
the Treeborhood looked like
a long time ago.
And I can collect them and make
a Treeborhood photo album
so everyone can enjoy them.
I'm going to start right now.
Whee!
Whoo! Yeah!
Now's... the time for sleep.
(groans)
But I'll never, ever
be able to sleep
with this big idea in my head.
(snoring loudly)
ZADIE:
It's morning!
Time to work on my
Treeborhood photo album.
I need to find more photos.
But where?
(gasps)
Super, can I use this photo?
Sure.
Yay! Now I have two.
(groans)
I can't just have two photos
in my album!
I need more.
I know Mr. E
has a photo
hanging in the
Everything Emporium of--
Great!
Thanks, Gramma! Love you!
Going for a walk, Gramma Super!
Let's go get some fresh air,
baby Treeborhood.
Hello?
("hello" echoing)
(giggles)
Mr. E! Mr. E!
I'm making a Treeborhood
photo album to show everyone
what the Treeborhood was like
a long time ago.
Super said you have a photo
hanging in the Emporium.
Can I use it, please?
I do have one you can use.
This is when my great-great-
great-great-grandfather
Tobias Everything
came to the Treeborhood.
Tobias was a
door-to-door salesman.
He sold doors.
Once Tobias
found out that your
great-great-great-
great-grandma Willie
wanted to build more homes,
he realized those homes
would need doors.
But they would also
need so much more.
And that's why Tobias built
the Everything Emporium.
You may use this
for your photo album.
I have several copies.
Thanks, Mr. E.
I believe Amado has an early
photo of the Treeborhood, so...
Hello again!
("hello again" echoing)
(giggles)
Hello, Amado.
Could you tell me what
a baby tree would eat?
Well, here's the plant food
I feed the Treeborhood.
Thank you!
Come on baby Treeborhood,
let's go home,
and feed you some
yummy yum yums.
Hi, Amado.
I'm making a photo album
of the Treeborhood
to share the history
of the tree with everyone.
And Mr. E said you have a
picture from a long time ago?
Yes!
Whoa!
What happened to that branch?
Oh, this photo was taken
after the Great Storm,
when my Lolo Alejandro built
our home in the Treeborhood.
(thunder crackles)
Follow me
and I'll show you what happened
after the storm.
The branch fell off
and it left this knothole.
Kamusta.
("Kamusta"echoing)
Can I use it for my
Treeborhood album?
Sure.
Oh, and Duffy has a
great photo of the Cafe.
(gasps)
Thanks.
Salamat.
I'm making a photo album
of the Treeborhood
and everyone's giving me
pictures from a long time ago.
I heard you have one.
I might be able to use it.
Do you?
Love that idea, Zadie!
I've got the perfect photo!
(disco music playing)
This one was taken
when Gramma Boggie McJams
opened the cafe.
So, the Cafe was built
after the Great Storm?
Sure was.
How can you tell?
Because during
the Great storm,
a branch fell and made
Echoey Knothole.
And since Echoey Knothole
is in this photo,
I can tell the Cafe
was built after the storm.
You can have this photo.
Go find Ellie.
She has an epic photo
of when she arrived
in the Treeborhood.
Cool.
Thanks, Duffy.
You rock.
(disco music playing)
Here's the photo of the day I
crashed into the Treeborhood.
Crashed?
Whoa! What happened?
I was traveling the world
in my Boo-Boo-Blimp
on the lookout
for animals with ouchies.
But a thick fog rolled in,
and I couldn't see a thing.
And suddenly-- crash!
But I didn't get hurt.
The next morning,
when the fog cleared,
I discovered I had crashed
into the Treeborhood.
I adored the view and the folks
that lived here so much,
I decided to make it
my forever home.
Would you like to use
this photo for your album?
I have a copy.
Thanks.
I'm so glad you crashed here,
Ellie.
You make me happy when you
bandage my boo-boos.
This. Is.
So.
Hard!
(groans)
Uh... hey.
Need help?
I can't work out how to put
these photos in
the right order.
Oh, well,
think of it this way.
Every year, trees grow bigger.
Like we do.
Oh yeah.
So, I should put
the photos in order
from when the tree is smallest
to when it is biggest.
The Treeborhood is smallest
in the photo of
the great-great-great
grandma Willie,
So it should go first.
And in this photo
the Treeborhood
is a little bit bigger.
And it has our house and a
small Everything Emporium.
So it should go second.
(gasps)
Look. The Treeborhood
is bigger in this photo.
It has our house,
but also JunJun's house,
and a big
Everything Emporium.
See that broken branch?
It was hit by lightning
and made it Echoey Knothole.
Whoa. Epic.
Okay.
The broken branch photo
goes third.
I think Ellie's crash
landing goes fourth.
Are you sure?
This photo with the Café
has our house,
JunJun's house,
and the Everything Emporium
but...
Ellie's house isn't in it.
So that means Café photo
comes fourth
and Ellie's photo is fifth.
Looking good!
In each photo
the tree gets bigger
and has more houses in it!
And this last photo
should go sixth.
The tree is biggest and it has
all of the houses in it.
We're done!
ZEKE:
Not so fast.
While little tree
was napping,
I drew a picture
for your album.
It's a picture of someday
when my little tree
has grown really big.
Thanks, Zeke, I love it.
This should go last
because it will happen
someday in the future.
Smallest Tree, no houses.
Bigger tree, one house.
Much bigger tree, two houses.
Even bigger tree,
lots of houses,
but no Ellie house.
Bigger tree, lots of houses,
with Ellie's house.
Biggest tree with
all the houses.
And Zeke's little tree
grown big.
(yawns)
(yawns)
(yawns)
All right, little squishes,
it's story time.
Yes!
Can we look at the
Treeborhood photo album?
Please?
And can we do it outside?
That way the tree and
everyone else can listen?
Sure.
This is when great-great-
great-great-grandma Willie
first found the tree.
And this is when the first
Everything Emporium
was built
by Tobias Everything.
ZADIE (over speaker):
Here's when the Treeborhood
was hit by lightning.
And this is opening day
at the Café--
look, everyone is roller
skating!
And this is when Ellie crashed
into the top of the tree.
And here's all of us together,
in front of our home,
the Treeborhood.
And here's a picture of someday
when my baby tree grows big.
Hey!
My baby tree grew!
ALL:
We love you, Treeborhood!
The day is new
It's time to play
Outside, outside
Hip, hip, hooray
Hey, whoa, look at the sky
ALL:
The clouds are grey
I wonder why?
Drip drop on my nose
Drip drop on my toes
It's raining, run inside
Do raindrops fall from
dark and cloudy skies?
Another day
Another try
Why don't we
check the sky
MALIK:
Those dark grey clouds
are back today
ALL:
Do you think that means
There'll be rain?
Drip drop on my nose
Drip drop on my toes
It's raining, run inside
Raindrops fall
from dark and cloudy skies
Wake up, wake up
It's time to play
I hope it's not so wet today
The sky is blue
Here comes the sun
ALL:
And all the dark grey clouds
are done
No drops on my nose,
no drops on my toes
The sun's here,
let's stay outside
'Cause raindrops
Aren't falling from
dark and cloudy skies.
Whoo-hoo!
ZEKE:
"Runway Recycling."
(polka music playing inside)
(polka music playing loudly)
Whoa!
Oom-pa-pa, oom-pa-pa
Oom-pa-pa, oom-pa-pa,
oom-pa-pa
BOTH:
Oom-pa-pa, oom-pa-pa,
oom-pa-pa
Oom-pa-pa, oom-pa-pa
No!
The sculpture!
Of my Grandpa E!
I have destroyed it!
This is all your fault, Mr. E.
You shouldn't have been
polka-ing around.
But, Mr. E, it was an accident.
Grandpa E is shattered into
a million pieces!
Just like my heart!
Mr. E, did you not know
you can make
another sculpture?
I would, but I don't know
how to make a sculpture.
Lots of folks
in the Treeborhood
know how to create
a sculpture.
We could ask one of them
to make a new one.
And we could have a contest.
And then you could pick
the Grandpa E sculpture
you like best.
A contest?
I love contests!
My favorite TV program
isThe Bakey-Bakey Show,
where teams have a contest to
bake the best treats to eat.
But in our contest,
teams will compete
to create the
best Grandpa E sculpture.
Louisa, you're a tiny genius.
Attention, Treeborhood.
(on speaker):
I'm hosting a fabulous
sculpture contest.
All interested parties
should form a team
and report to the
Creation Station immediately.
Ooh! A contest!
Do you want to be
on my team?
Yes! C'mon!
(guitar plays discordant note)
MR. E (on speaker):
I repeat,
I'm hosting a sculpture contest.
All interested parties
should form a team
and report to the
Creation Station immediately.
(gasps)
Let's do it, Sammy!
Yay!
Mm!
Welcome to the Grandpa E
Sculpture Contest!
I'm your host, Louisa.
(participants cheering)
Say hello to our band,
my mommies,
Duffy and Leiko!
(playing upbeat rock tune)
I want to be in the band too!
Please, please, please?
(maracas shaking)
Mr. E broke his sculpture
of Grandpa E.
So now we are having a contest
to make a new one.
It was an accident.
(quietly):
It's not your turn yet,
Mr. E.
I've got to introduce you.
And now, here's our judge!
You know him and love him...
Mr. E!
(cheers and laughter)
Greetings, contestants.
Your sculptures must include
these three things.
First: a big mustache.
Second: my grandpa loved
the color orange
so you must include
something orange.
And Grandpa E loved
looking at the stars.
Every night, he'd say to me,
"Little E,
get a load of those stars."
(sniffles)
So, the third thing
you must have is a star.
Drumroll, please?
(shaking maracas)
The winning team's sculpture
will go on display
in the Everything Emporium!
(participants cheering)
Okay, let's do this!
You have one minute
and two seconds to gather
everything you need to make
your sculptures.
And... go.
(stopwatch beeps)
(playing upbeat tune)
Orange stuff.
We need orange stuff.
This is yellow.
That's green.
That's red.
Where's the orange stuff?!
A bird's eye view
might help.
That's orange.
There's orange.
All right!
Fuzzy stuff for a
big mustache!
You have seconds left!
Hurry, Sammy!
Ooh! Ooh!
Grab the pom-poms and yarn.
These bendy straws
might make a good mustache.
Ooh! This shiny foil
might be good for making a star.
We can cut a star out of this
box and put glitter on it!
You have ten seconds!
For the body,
just grab anything!
(beeps)
Time's up!
(participants sighing
with relief)
Now make your sculptures!
You can't give them all
the time in the world!
How about minutes?
That's how long my Mommies
give me to get ready for bed.
And remember to create,
test, and improve!
Such a tiny genius.
Contestants,
you have minutes.
And... go!
(beeps)
Umm... for something orange,
we can use this yoga ball.
It can be the head.
I'll draw a face.
(gasps)
Come back here, Grandpa E!
Whew.
Maybe adding some legs will
keep him from rolling away?
Let's test it out.
(tapping)
It worked!
I'll tape them on.
And I'll create a big mustache
out of these bendy straws.
That's the neck, head,
and body...
Ooh! And you have
something orange!
Let's test it out and
see if it stands up.
Okay.
So that did not work.
But we can improve it.
It's standing up!
Yeah!
(giggling)
These pool noodles would be
perfect for the arms.
Yes!
(giggling)
Hmmm...
Is that the mustache?
Yes!
We're excited because
we've got two things done--
something orange
and the big mustache.
Mr. E, don't,
the glue's not...!
Dry...
Whoopsie!
(nervous laugh)
Carry on.
Should we use yarn or pom-poms
for the mustache?
Pom-poms!
Hmmm.
Your mustache is
too small.
It is?
Did you not know Grandpa E
has abigmustache?
We can improve it.
Let's try using
these big pom-poms.
Now it's bigger.
Loving these arms.
Oops! Sorry!
Carry on.
Now all we need is the star.
Bring on the foil!
Hay naku.
I popped it.
Uh... it's okay.
We can use something else
that's orange.
But the yoga ball was the only
orange thing you grabbed.
Did you not know when I
get stuck on a puzzle
I always ask
my mommies for help?
Maybe you can ask
the other team for help.
Can you tell me about
what you have done so far?
We've got two things done.
We have something orange
and a big mustache.
Now all we need is a star.
We need the box to
cut out the star.
But we also need a box
to hold up the pillow.
We're stuck...
Well... we need
something orange.
Want to make a trade?
This poster board for that
orange traffic cone?
What's this?
The contestants
are collaborating!
Working together is
a beautiful thing Mr. E.
Five minutes left!
Orange body and a
Styrofoam ball head.
See? It looks good.
Now... for the mustache!
Wait!
Before you add the mustache,
Grandpa E needs a face.
(gasps) Wow.
You are amazing.
Thanks.
Now you can add the mustache
and I'll make the star.
(gasps)
Yes!
(giggles)
I think we did it.
We have something orange,
a big mustache, and a star.
Both teams look like they might
actually pull this off.
All it took was a little
"creating, testing,
improving."
Right, Mr. E?
Right!
And...
(beeps)
Time is up!
Step away from
your sculptures.
Share with us how you
created your sculpture.
Well, we used bendy straws
to create the mustache,
and an orange yoga ball
to create a head.
But the yoga ball
kept rolling away.
So, to improve it,
we added legs.
MALIK:
Then we popped the
yoga ball by accident
so we traded the other team
for the orange cone
to create a body.
But we still didn't
have a head.
So we used a Styrofoam ball
to create the head,
and to improve it,
I sculpted a face.
Then I created a telescope out
of a paper towel roll
and put a foil star
at the end of it.
See, Mr. E?
Told you we have artistic folks
in the Treeborhood.
Share with us how you
created your sculpture.
Well, Sammy and I
created Grandpa E's body
out of a pillow
and an orange vest.
But when we tested it,
it fell over.
So to improve it, we put it
against a cardboard box.
We used pom-poms
for the mustache.
The first ones
were too small.
So then we usedbigones.
But we didn't have
cardboard to create a star.
So we traded with the other
team for some poster board.
Then, we put the stars on
a headband
and added lots of glitter!
(chuckling):
Wonderful.
Simply wonderful!
I would wear that star headband.
It's time to
pick a winner.
Drum roll, please.
(maracas shaking)
(sniffling)
(sighs)
Both sculptures are so, so...
wonderful.
So creative.
So Grandpa E!
I can't possibly pick a winner!
(Zadie and Malik gasp)
I can choose a winner.
Youbothwin!
(participants cheering)
(band playing upbeat tune)
We did it!
(cheers and laughter)
