[laughing]

- Hi, neighbor! We are in
the vegetable garden at school.

- Hello, neighbor.

Come on, Daniel,
let's go pick some veggies!

- Vegetables! Have you
ever picked vegetables?

I haven't. so I'm excited.
Here I come!

Look at our garden!

What vegetables do you like?

I like tomatoes!

I can't believe how much
our garden grew!

Wow!

- That's because we planted
the vegetable seeds.

- And we watered them.

- And we had lots
of sunny sunshine!

- And now we get to pick
the vegetables and taste them.

- Yippee!
- Yeah!

[laughing]

- Tasting the vegetables?

Oh, no, I don't think
I like vegetables.

I don't want to try them.
- OK, you three,

would you like to find
some juicy red tomatoes
for the group to taste?

- Yes!
- Yep!

- Off you go!
- Tomatoes!

Let's look for red tomatoes.

Where would they be?
- Oh, tomaaaaaaatoes!

- Looking... looking...
looking...

Do you see red tomatoes?

[He gasps.]
Look!

These bushes have tomatoes!
I think.

But... they're so little.
- Are they tomatoes?

- Uh-huh. Those are
cherry tomatoes.

- I never had

a cherry tomato before!
Hi, little cute cherry tomato!

- Daniel, why don't you
and Miss Elaina pick six
cherry tomatoes for us to try?

- Come on, toots!
Let's get picking!

- Will you count the tomatoes
with us?

OK, let's count!

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

- Six tomatoes!

- Great job, you two.

Now I'll just wash them off
so we can taste them.

- Have you ever tasted
a tomato?

I wonder what little
cherry tomatoes taste like.

- Here we go.

♪ We gotta try new food
'cause it might taste good ♪

- ♪ We gotta try new food

Mm. Whoa! The tomato squirted
in my mouth! Yum!

- Uh, I don't like
this cherry tomato.
It is too squirty for me.

- Well, that's OK.
I'm glad you tried it.

Katerina, would you like
to try a tomato?

- No... I don't like
tomatoes.

- Hmm. Have you ever had
a tomato before?

- No, meow-meow.
- You won't know if you like it

unless you try it.
- No, thanks.

Not right now.
- OK, maybe later.

- Teacher Harriet,
I have a question.

Look at these green leaves.
What vegetable is that?

- They are carrots.
- [kids]: Carrots?

- Carrots are orange!
These are GREEN leaves.

- Well, here's the secret.

The orange part of the carrot
is... in the ground.
- What?

- Do you want to pull a carrot
out and see?

- Yes!
- Yes, indeed!

- Meow-meow!
- OK, everyone,

put your hands on the bottom
of the green part.

- Meow-meow.
- Me too, me too!
- Royally ready!

- Now, one, two,
three, pull!

[grunting with effort]

- Whoa!
- I got a carrot!

[laughing]

- See? The orange part of the
carrot grows under the ground.

- I liked pulling the carrot,
but I don't want to try
the carrot.

- It's OK.

- Can you believe carrots grow
under the ground?

I wonder what it's like
under there.

Heeey, do you want
to make-believe with me?

Let's make believe that we're
underground with the carrots!

- ♪ On land you'll only find
our leafy crown ♪

♪ 'Cause us carrots like to grow
under the ground ♪

- ♪ You see us beets,
we live here too ♪

♪ With a few potatoes,
just a bunch of roots ♪

♪ And if you want to find us,
you gotta dig, dig
under the ground ♪

♪ If you want to find us,
you gotta dig, dig down ♪

♪ We grow under the ground

♪ If you want to find us,
then you gotta dig down ♪
- ♪ Under the ground

- Ha! Ha! Wasn't that grr-ific?

- [Harriet]: OK! Carrots are
all ready to eat!
- Come on!

- Delicious. Here you go.

♪ We gotta try new food
'cause it might taste good ♪

Make sure you chew
those carrots well!

- Crunchy!

Thank you!
Nom, nom, nom!

- Try this,
Prince Wednesday.

- Mm... Heh, heh.
I don't think

I like the carrots.
They're too crunchy for me.

- Well, that's OK.
I'm glad you tried them.

Katerina? Would you like
to try a carrot?

- Mmm, no, thank you.
I don't want to try a carrot.

- All right. But remember...

♪ We gotta try new food
'cause it might taste good ♪

- Ooh! I'll have it!
I'll have it!

I love, love, love carrots!
They're deeeelicious!

- You really like
those carrots?

- Uh-huh!
- Hmm.

- OK, the next veggie
to look for is bell peppers!
- [Katerina and Daniel]: OK!

- Where could it be? Over here?

- Hmm, I don't know.
- Where would they be?

- So pretty!
- Looking...

[Katerina gasps.]
- What are these vegetables?

- Bell peppers!
- Bell peppers?

They're soooo pretty.

Look at all the colors,
meow-meow! I see yellow,

and green, and red,
and even orange!

- Wow!

Do bell peppers ring
like bells?

- Yeah, the peppers don't really
ring like bells, right,
meow-meow?

- Right. They don't ring. See?

They just look like bells.

Want to pick eight bell peppers
for us to try, Katerina?

- OK! Daniel, meow-meow,
you come too!

- Will you count the peppers
with us?

OK!

One, two...

- Three, four...

- Five, six...

- Oooh! Green too!

Seven, eight!

[laughing]

We picked all the colors,
meow-meow!

- Excellent! Let's wash
these bell peppers first,

then we'll cut them up
into slices.

Katerina, would you like
to try first?

♪ We gotta try new food
'cause it might taste good ♪

- Hmm...

♪ We gotta try new food
'cause it might taste good ♪

OK, I'll try it.

It tastes... good.

Crispy and sweet.

Meow-meow!
I like bell peppers!

I want to try ALL
the bell peppers now!

The yellow peppers,
orange peppers, and green.

Meow-meow! Peppers are
my new favorite!

Can I try
a cherry tomato too?

- Why, sure.

- Mmm!

I like the squirty
tomatoes, meow-meow!

- How about a carrot
while you're trying?

- Hmm...

These carrots are
too crunchy for me.

- It's OK if you don't like it.
You should feel proud

that you gave all
of the veggies a try.

- I did. I tried.
Yay for me! Meow!

- How about we make a big
vegetable salad for snack?

- With lots of bell peppers,
meow-meow!

- Vegetables taste good!
- [kids]: YEAH!

- Ahem. Excuse me, are you going
to finish your carrots?

I think they're
deeeeelicious!

- You can have mine,
Miss Elaina.

I will trade you
for more bell peppers.

Does anybody else have
bell pepper for me?

They are yummy
in my tummy!

Tomorrow, I want to try
a bell pepper sandwich,

and a bell pepper spaghetti,
and bell pepper pizza!

I like trying new things!

[laughing]

- Which foods do you want
to try?

I hope they taste good!

Ugga-mugga!

- Bug!

- [Harriet]: Hello, neighbors.

Today we're going on a school
trip to a community garden.

- ♪ We gotta try new food
'cause they might taste good ♪

♪ Good

- Do you want to hold that one?
Good job.

- These children are picking
vegetables to eat.

It's good to try new foods.

- Do all you guys want to help
with the peas?

- What's this?

- That's a pea.
It's called a sugar snap pea.

- Can I eat it?
- Yes, you can. Right here,

and then pull it. It makes it
so that the whole pea plant
doesn't pull off the vine.

Do you like them?

Do you and David want
to do that bowl?

- Beets grow deep in the
ground.

- After you put the seed
in the ground, it takes

four to six weeks
before you get a beet.
- What do beets taste like?

- When you cook them, they get
a little bit sweet
like a carrot,

and they're crunchy.

Yeah, I like them.

- I'm going to stick the shovel
in and loosen up the soil,

because you always have
to loosen the soil

before you pick carrots,
because guess what happens

if you just pull the carrot
without loosening the soil.

- The root will break.
- Yes,

we eat the root of the plant.

OK.

- Did you know that carrots can
be orange AND purple?

Don't they look wonderful?

- Oh, a nice big purple one.

Look at that. Do you want
to hold that one?

- ...in the salad bowl.

- Because vegetables grow
in the ground, it's important

to wash them before eating.
- Put them in the salad bowl.

- ...wash some of the ones
over in that bowl still.
- Yep,

just shake 'em off.

Don't squeeze 'em.
Good job, everybody.

the garden, everyone.

Enjoy those veggies.

- Hi, neighbor!

You're just in time to come
on an adventure with me!

Tigey is coming too!
Grrrrr!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Let's go play!

We're playing adventure
in my pretend cave! See?

Let's tiptoe,
and we have to be

very, very quiet.

Shh.

Hey... wait a minute.

There's somebody
in my cave. Dad?

Dad, what are you doing?

- I'm not Dad.
I'm... a silly beast!

- A silly beast?

We've never played that
before.

- I know. It's new.
I made it up. Ha! Ha! Ha!

Will you play with me?
- OK!

Let's go look
for the silly beast!

Oh, silly beeeast.

Dad was a silly beast,
and I found him!

- A silly beast?
Well, that's a new one!

- Dad made it up.
- Well, it sounds like fun.

Want to take a break

and help me in the kitchen?
- OK, Mom. I like helping.

- OK, let's see

what we'll need.
- Oooh,

whatcha making?
- Well,

since Miss Elaina is coming over
for dinner tonight...

- Yay!
- Yay! Ahem.

Yes, well, I'm making
something new for dessert.

It's called Banana Swirl.

- Banana Swirl? What's that?
- Well,

I put these bananas
in the freezer.

- Brr! They're cold!
- Mm-mmm. Freezing cold!

And now, we put them
in the blender, like this.

And put the top on.

And we can press
the go button together.

Here we go. Ready?

- Whoa!

- Aaaaaand... stop!

- They don't even look
like bananas anymore!

- Nope! Now it's
Banana Swirl!

Can you... taste it and tell me
what you think?

- Taste it? But...
what if I don't like it?

- Well, you tried
a new game today.

Can you try a new food too?

♪ You gotta try new food
'cause it might taste good ♪

It might even taste...
smushy-yummy!

- ♪ We gotta try new food

OK, I'll try it and see
if Banana Swirl tastes good.

- That's the spirit! Daniel,
we can taste it together!

Ready?

- Hmm. Swirly...

banana-y...

it's cold...

hmm... and sweet.

It kind of tastes like...

banana ice cream!
I like Banana Swirl!

- Mmm! I'm glad.
I like it too.

And I'm glad you tried
something new, Daniel.

- Me too! Banana Swirl tastes
goooooood!

[mom laughing]
- Sure does!

It will be a great dessert
after the veggie spaghetti
we're having for dinner.

- Veggie spaghetti?
What's that?

- You want to see?
- Yes!

- Here's the spaghetti,

and these veggies go on top
of the spaghetti

to make it...
veggie spaghetti!

- Hmm... I've never had veggie
spaghetti before, you know.

- I know. It'll be something
new to try.

[doorbell]
I hear the doorbell.
That must be Miss Elaina.

- Miss Elaina!

- Bye, Mom! Hiya, toots!
- Hi, Miss Elaina!

Mom, do we have time to play
before dinner?

- Sure. I'll call you
when dinner's ready.

- [both]: Yay!
- Come on!

Let's play adventure!
We need to find the silly beast

that's in the cave!
- A silly beast?

We've never played
that game before.

What if I don't like it?
- Well... I think if you try it,

you'll like it.
It's very fun

and VERY silly.

- Oh. I do like
silly things.

I'll try it. Let's go get
that silly beast!
- All right.

We have to be very,

- Hi, I'm Roshan, and I'm going
to make Banana Swirl!

First we have
to peel the bananas.

You have to put the warm
bananas
in the freezer and freeze it.

And then when it's all frozen,
you put the cold bananas
in a blender.

Then you put it on high.

Banana Swirl is done!

Cheers, everyone!

- Mmm!

- Yummy!
