MALIK:
"Color Fun."
(blowing out
through lips)
(Malik sighs)
There's nothing to do.
I've got an idea
for something we can do.
(gasps)
Are you ready for it?
Yeah!
Mm-hmm.
ReadKaylee Koalacomic books!
We've read them.
All of them.
(yawns)
We even know
all the words.
"I am Kaylee Koala.
Ready for adventure."
SUPER:
Red!
(paint splashes)
Yellow!
(paint splashes)
Blue!
(paint splashes)
Sounds like Grandma's
doing something fun.
(grunt)
Ooh.
Red.
Why aren't you using
a paintbrush, Grandma?
Because I like to throw
my whole self into my art.
(giggles)
(grunting):
Yellow!
Did you see that?
(grunting):
Blue!
(gasps):
She did it again.
Whenever Grandma
says a color,
she throws the paint
in a different way.
(gasps):
We could make up
a game like that.
How will we play?
We don't have paint.
We don't need paint.
We only need to
say the colors.
Like, if someone says a color,
then we do something fun.
Yeah, so if someone says, "Red,"
we do the robot.
(giggles)
Like this:
Beep, boop. Beep, boop.
Beep, beep.
(all laugh)
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I've got one.
If someone says, "Yellow,"
then we go...
(blows out through lips)
...and deflate
like a big balloon.
Like this.
(blows out through lips)
I have an idea:
if someone says, "Blue,"
we roll into a ball
and then jump up
and yell out, "Kablooey!"
ALL:
Kablooey!
(giggle)
But what if someone says
another color, like green?
Then, uh,
we stand still.
We only move when someone says,
"Red," "Yellow," or "Blue."
And if someone figures out
what makes us do each move,
then they can play
the game with us.
KAT:
What are Duffy's
favorite colors, Kit?
Did someone
say, "Colors"?
Game on.
(all giggling)
ALL:
Whee!
Hi, Kat, hi, Kit--
uh, whatcha doing?
Oh, we're arranging flowers
in a vase for the café.
We're using all
of Duffy's favorite colors.
KAT:
She loves red roses.
Beep, boop. Beep, boop.
Beep, beep,
boop.
I didn't know
they were robots, did you?
(laughing):
No, I did not.
I always thought
they were wombats.
(continue game)
Duffy also loves
yellow daffodils.
(imitating deflating balloon)
(laughs):
The robots'
batteries must have d*ed.
Throw something
green in there.
(snickers)
KAT:
Hmm.
And blue forget-me-nots?
Kablooey!
(both scream)
Sorry, Kat and Kit.
We didn't mean
to scare you.
We're just
playing a game.
You can play, too, if you
can work out the rules.
Oh! A challenge.
Let's think it through.
(laughing)
Kat, whenever you asked
for a different flower,
they did something
odd-- try it.
Roses?
Come to think of it, Kat,
you said, "Red roses."
Beep, boop, beep, boop.
Aha!
They do things
when we say a color.
I believe
they did the
robot when you said, "Red."
You got it.
But when you
said, "Green"...
KAT:
They did nothing.
So, it's not all colors,
only certain colors.
Like...
Yellow daffodils!
(imitating deflating balloon)
Aha!
What about blue
forget-me-nots?
Kablooey!
I think we've got it!
You do the robot when
someone says, "Red."
Beep, boop, beep,
boop, beep, beep.
And you deflate like a balloon
if someone says, "Yellow."
(imitating balloon deflating)
And you go, "Kablooey!"
when someone says, "Blue."
Kablooey!
(laughs):
That was fun!
Let's take these colorful
flowers up to the café
and see who else can
figure out the game.
Here's your
flowers, Duffy.
What do you think about
the colors we chose?
Hmm?
(wombats giggling)
Excuse me.
I was first in line,
and I'm ready to order.
I'd like the veggie
and rice bowl, please,
with red bell pepper...
(all making robot noises)
Is that necessary?
And yellow squash.
(imitating deflating balloon)
Would you please find another
venue for your gymnastics?
And I'll have
brown rice...
(Zeke snickers)
Smothered in blue
cheese dressing.
(yell):
Kablooey!
(screams)
(crashes on floor)
(whispering):
To go, please.
Sorry, Mr. E.
We were just playing a game.
You can play, too,
if you work out the rules.
Ha! The rules are obvious.
When someone orders food,
you do a bunch of nonsense.
That's not it, Mr. E.
No?
Hmm.
I was sure that was it.
♪ La-la-la-la, la-la-laundry ♪♪
JunJun will love this game.
He's great
at working things out.
Come on.
KAT:
You three go ahead.
We're gonna
get some lunch.
I want to play, too.
Well, then figure out
the rules, Mr. E.
How do I do that?
Follow them to see
how they play the game.
Good idea.
Oof.
Hi, JunJun.
Uh, whatcha doing?
Hanging laundry to dry.
Are all of your towels
that color?
You mean red?
(making robot noises)
No, here's an orange one.
(giggles)
I also have a yellow towel.
(imitating balloon deflating)
Oh, I get it.
You're playing a game.
I knew JunJun
would be good at this.
You can play, too.
If you work out the rules.
Challenge accepted.
This towel is blue.
Kablooey!
Kablooey, (blows through lips),
food, and now towels.
It makes no sense.
I know how to play your game!
The rules are...
LEIKO (over intercom):
Attention, Treeborhood
neighbors.
It's story time in the
Shh-Shh Quiet Reading Area.
I can't hear JunJun.
(yelping)
(grunts)
LEIKO:
Okay, so,
I'll be reading
Levi Loves Colors.
Colors?
Game on!
Come on, JunJun.
Be right there.
Gonna make sure I got everything
hung up to dry.
Whoa, this shirt
sure is heavy when it's wet.
(grunts, sighs, laughs)
(grunts)
(cheering)
"Levi Loves Colors."
(door opens)
ZEKE:
Hi.
"Levi was a yellow giraffe."
(imitating balloon deflating)
Giraffe.
"Levi loved all the
colors in his world.
He liked the trees filled
with bright red berries..."
(making robot sounds)
"And the lagoon,
so pretty and blue..."
Kablooey!
(clears throat loudly)
Is this playtime or story time?
Uh, sorry for being
so noisy, Leiko.
(sighs):
You're welcome here anytime,
but remember,
it's important
to be quiet and listen
during story time.
Why don't you come back
when you can be quiet, okay?
ALL:
We're sorry.
Hmm.
Where'd everybody go?
When someone said,
"Red," "Yellow," or "Blue,"
they did something.
But what? Let me see.
When I ordered
the blue cheese, they rolled
into a ball and went,
"Kablooey."
At the mention
of JunJun's blue towel,
yep, they went, "Kablooey."
That's it!
When someone said, "Blue,"
they went, "Kablooey."
And at the mention
of JunJun's yellow towel,
they deflated... (blows through
lips) ...like balloons.
Same with the yellow giraffe.
And there were red berries
in the story.
The robot-- they did the robot
when someone said, "Red."
That was easy.
Well, look at that.
Super invited me over
for dinner tonight.
And I know just what I'll bring.
Something colorful.
(cackles)
Thank you, Mr. E--
sit here.
I brought a fruit salad.
It has apples.
They're not green apples,
they're...
Perfect in fruit salad.
And corn, because it's...
Ye-- unexpected.
Yeah, who puts corn
in a fruit salad?
And berries.
Not raspberries,
not strawberries, they're...
Delicious.
(groans)
You worked it out,
didn't you, Mr. E?
That's why you made
a fruit salad
with red apples,
yellow corn, and blueberries.
Beep, boop.
Beep, beep, boop.
(imitates balloon deflating)
Kablooey!
Super says dinner time is
for eating, not playing, Mr. E.
But you can play
at dessert if you like.
Now it's time
to eat dinner.

ZEKE:
"A Super Invention!"
Woo-hoo!
(both laughing)
(Super and Zadie laughing)
ZEKE:
Me, me, me.
KIDS:
Me, me, me!
Me, please! Me, please!
Okay, okay, one at a time.
Wait.
Let's fun it up.
(cheer)
I'll give all three of you
a huggyback ride
at the same time.
(cheer)
KIDS:
Oof!
Malik, move over.
No, no, no, you move over.
Don't fight,
we're having fun.
Hug on tight!
Whoa!
(Super grunting and groaning)
ZADIE (yelps):
Oof.
(all laughing)
That didn't work.
No, it didn't.
Guess I can't huggyback-ride
all of you at once.
Or can I?
Huh, what's this for?
To keep you all busy
while I go down into my workshop
to work on a special invention.
What special invention?
You'll see.
It's a surprise.
(beeps)
(whirring)
ALL:
Whoa.
I need to create something
so I can give
all three of my little squishes
a huggyback ride
at the same time.
I'll call my invention the...
Huggyback Rider.
Now, the best way to plan out
the design
for my huggyback rider
is to draw it.
Then I can build it.
(chuckles)
I need something to carry
Malik, Zadie, and Zeke
on my back.
Hmm.
Aha.
Like a backpack.
(chuckling):
Good start.
(sighs):
I wish I knew
what Super's inventing.
Me, too, Zeke.
But we have to wait.
It's a surprise.
I know it's a surprise,
but how long do I have to wait
to find out what it is?
Why can't I know now?
I'm gonna go see.
(grunting)
Uh-uh, Zeke.
You know when Grandma
is down in her workshop,
we're not supposed
to bother her.
(sighs):
Okay.
Maybe I can hear what
she's inventing from up here.
That wouldn't
bother her.
Don't want to just stuff them
in a backpack.
(chuckles):
They wouldn't even fit-- mmm.
Besides, they need their arms
free so they can hug on tight.
I know, they could all
stand together on something.
I can make a bar for their feet.
I can attach the foot bar to
the shoulder straps with rope,
like a swing.
Hmm.
Here's a good question for me.
Where should the foot bar go?
Up here,
near my shoulders, maybe?
Is that right?
No, this can't be
where the foot bar goes.
They'd be riding
too high on my back.
Should it go down here
by my knees, maybe?
Will that work?
No, they'd be riding too low.
Oh, I know!
To know where to put the foot
bar, I need to know how tall
Malik, Zadie, and Zeke are.
And to find out
how tall they are,
I have to measure them.
(chuckles)
(whirring)
(whistling)
What are you
little squishes up to?
We're balancing on our bellies.
Sorry to interrupt you, but
I need you to line up, please.
Aha.
I'm going to need a
longer piece of wood.
What for?
You'll see--
now I need to measure you
to see how
tall you are.
Mm-hmm, tall.
Taller.
Tallest-- thanks.
Got to go.
(giggles)
She needs to know how
tall we are because why?
And what is she going
to do with wood?
I don't know,
but maybe we could
work it out, wombats.
Maybe she's inventing
a balance beam.
Or a Whoosh-Whoosh Sled.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Or maybe it's this!
An indoor see-saw.
See this line?
That's the ceiling.
And that's me.
And, look, my head
doesn't hit the ceiling.
That's why she wanted
to know how tall we are,
so we won't hit the ceiling
when we see-saw up.
Exactly.
But wait! This isn't
long enough for a see-saw.
Hmm, she said she needed
a longer piece.
Hmm. Follow me!
If we hear the sound
of sawing wood,
then she's got to be inventing
an indoor see-saw.
Malik is this tall,
so the foot bar should go right
smack dab
in the middle of my back.
Here's the foot bar,
and here's Malik, Zadie, and
Zeke standing on the foot bar,
and here are the ropes
that connect the foot bar
to the shoulder straps.
(chuckling):
♪ I'm making progress,
I'm making progress ♪
Hmm.
I wonder how strong the rope
for the foot bar
and the
shoulder straps need to be?
They need to be strong enough
that they won't break
when I'm giving my little
squishes a huggyback ride.
To make sure
they are strong enough,
I need to know how much
Malik, Zadie, and Zeke weigh.
And how do I measure
how much they weigh?
With this scale.
I hear something.
(stairs creaking)
See-saw sawing?
No, it's...
ALL:
Grandma's coming up here!
What are you up to now?
Uh, balancing on
our, uh, uh, elbows?
(chuckling)
Are you an inventing
an indoor see-saw?
ZEKE:
Malik thought it up.
No, but may I keep this?
Someday I might use this design
to build your
wonderful invention.
Now, will you please
hold onto these straps?
(grunt)
Uh-huh, I'm going to need
stronger straps.
Why? For what?
You'll see.
And now I need to know exactly
how much you weigh, please.
(scale beeps)
Hmm. Aha.
(scale beeps)
(whirring)
She needs to know how much
we weigh because why?
And what's she gonna
do with the straps?
I don't know, but maybe
we could work it out.
(gasps)
I know!
She's inventing a go-kart!
And the straps
are seat belts.
Come on, Zeke.
BOTH:
Zoom, zoom, zoom!
(yelps and laughs)
Or maybe she's inventing
something to carry Snout on,
like he's a king.
(sings fanfare)
King Snout.
Maybe she's
inventing this.
It's a Buckets of Fun
carnival ride!
She has to know how tall we are
and how much we weigh
so she can know what size
the barrels have to be.
I get it.
And she'll use the wood
for handlebars
for us to hold on to.
And strong straps
to buckle us into the ride.
I think Zadie's right.
She's inventing...
ALL:
Buckets of Fun!
(chanting):
We worked it out,
there is no doubt.
We worked it out!
Need wider straps
and thick rope to hold the
weight of three little wombats.
The Huggyback Rider!
I designed it, now I build it.
I can use the shoulder straps
from this backpack.
Next I need some wood
to make the foot bar.
Now I need to see how long
the foot bar should be.
One wombat, two wombats,
and three wombats.
(saw grinding)
Now for some thick, strong rope
to attach the foot bar
to the shoulder straps.
We know what
you're inventing:
a Buckets of Fun
carnival ride.
ZEKE:
Zadie thought it up.
No, but may I keep this?
Someday I might use this design
to build your
wonderful invention.
Wait, let me sign it first.
Perfect.
This is what I invented.
Ta-da!
Wow, wow, wow!
It's a huggyback rider.
I invented it so I can
give all three of you
a huggyback ride
at the same time.
Whoa! How did
you do this?
Well, I got the idea,
and then I planned out my design
by drawing it.
See?
As I was drawing, I realized
I needed to measure
how tall you are
to get the foot bar
in the right place.
And I had to measure how much
you weigh all together
to make sure the straps
and foot bar ropes
would be strong enough
to hold you.
And then I built it.
Bing, bang, boom.
(laughs)
ALL:
Whoa, amazing.
It's the best thing
my eyes have ever seen
in my entire life!
(giggles):
Let's test it out.
Climb up and stand
on the foot bar.
ZADIE:
It's perfect.
It's a Super invention.
Thank you very much,
my little squishes.
So what are we
waiting for?
(laughs):
All right, okay.
Hug on tight.
Here we go!
