ELINOR: "Butterfly Party"
ARI: Elinor, come on, we're
almost at Olive's house.
ELINOR: Ok, coming.
See you later,
butterfly.
[♪♪♪]
OLIVE'S MOM: Well,
hello kids.
ELINOR: Hi, Ms. Elephant.
Can Olive come out and...
OLIVE: Elinor! Ari!
Come with me...
Oh! Thanks Mom!
ARI: Whooaaa!
OLIVE'S MOM: Oh!
Okay, well, have fun kids.
ELINOR: What is
it Olive?
ARI: Yeah, you
sure seem....
OLIVE: Shhh!
OLIVES MOM: [humming]
ARI: [whispering]
...excited.
OLIVE: I am excited!
Guess what?
Today is my Mom's
birthday!
OLIVE: And I want
to do something...
really special for her.
ARI: [whispering]
Cool. Like what?
OLIVE: I was thinking...
let's have a birthday
party for her!
ARI: That's a fantastic
idea, Olive.
We could have a
pirate party,
like I had on my birthday.
Arrrgh!
ELINOR: Or a bunny-hopping
party, like the one I had.
Hop! Hop!
Now that was a
Hoppy birthday!
KIDS: [giggle]
OLIVE: I'm not sure my Mom
likes pirates that much...
or bunny hops.
ELINOR: Right.
We should plan a party
with something she likes.
ARI: OK, what does
your Mom like, Olive?
OLIVE: Good question.
I'm not sure.
I see her every day but I guess
I've never thought about...
what she likes.
ELINOR: Let's observe
your mom and find out.
[♪]
OLIVE'S MOM: [humming]
ELINOR: C'mon!
OLIVE'S MOM: [humming]
ARI: She likes
reading quietly.
OLIVE: Yeah, but a
sitting quietly party...
doesn't sound
like much fun.
ELINOR: Wait a minute...
look at your
Mom's magazine.
ARI: There's a picture
of a butterfly.
ELINOR: And her apron.
OLIVE: Another butterfly.
ELINOR: And her pin!
I'm starting to see
a pattern here.
OLIVE: My mom
loves butterflies.
She has butterfly
decorations on everything!
ARI: Yeah, there's butterfly
stuff everywhere.
ELINOR: I know!
Let's have a
butterfly party!
OLIVE'S MOM: Hmm?
What are you
kids up to?
OLIVE: Nothing, Mom!
We're just going to
play outside, okay?
OLIVE'S MOM: Ok,
have fun.
ELINOR: I think your mom
would love a butterfly party.
We could have it right
here in your yard.
Your garden is so nice.
OLIVE: Thanks! My
mom and I planted it.
This is my part of
the garden.
ELINOR: It's the perfect
place for a butterfly party.
ARI: Ok, what
do we need?
OLIVE: Well, my mom already
has butterfly plates...
and napkins and
decorations.
ARI: Wait, I know...
what if we got some
real butterflies!
OLIVE: [gasp]
Yes!
Then they could fly around and
it'll be a real butterfly party.
ELINOR: That
would be so fun!
KIDS: [giggles]
ELINOR: Let's find some
butterflies for the party.
ARI: Well, I don't see any
butterflies around here.
OLIVE: Maybe we should
try calling them.
Butterflies!
Butterflies!
ARI: Oh, buuutterflies!
Oh, butterflies!
ELINOR: We want you to come
to Olive's Mom's party!
OLIVE: Still no
butterflies.
ARI: Maybe we
should send them...
some Birthday Party
invitations?
OLIVE: Hmmm...
I don't think butterflies
can read invitations, Ari.
ELINOR: I know there
are butterflies...
around here
somewhere.
ARI: Yeah, we just saw
one a little while ago.
Let's look around!
[♪♪♪]
OLIVE: Butterflies!
Butterflies!
ARI: Butter-butter-butter
-butter-butterflies!!
ELINOR: Hmm... I wonder where
all the butterflies are.
OLIVE: Let's split up.
ARI: I don't see
any around here.
OLIVE: Nothing here!
ELINOR: [gasp]
Look over there!
OLIVE: [gasp]
Butterflies!!
OLIVE: Wow, look how many
butterflies there are here.
ELINOR: Butterflies, we're
having a birthday party...
for Olive's mom and we
would love it if you came.
ARI: Yeah, it's over...
this way.
C'mon.
OLIVE: Just fly over to
my house, butterflies.
I have a really
nice garden.
They're not coming.
ELINOR: They're just
staying in this field.
ARI: I wonder why they
like it here so much...
and not in
Olive's garden?
OLIVE: Dun, dun, dunnn
it's a mystery,
a butterfly mystery...
ELINOR: We need
more observations.
ELINOR: Ok, what's the
difference between...
this field and the
garden at Olive's house?
ARI: Well... Both places
have lots of sun.
OLIVE: And both places
have lots of flowers.
ELINOR: Hmmm, the butterflies
seem to really like...
that purple flower.
Olive, do you have that
flower in your garden?
OLIVE: I don't
think so.
We have red flowers,
and yellow flowers...
but we don't have
that purple flower.
ELINOR: Maybe that's why
the butterflies are here
and not in your garden.
They like this special
kind of flower.
ARI: I think you're
right Elinor,
they seem to be big
fans of that flower.
OLIVE: So how can we get the
butterflies to come to my garden
if we don't have these
special flowers they like?
[ humming ]
OLIVE: Who's
humming?
ELINOR: I don't know.
Let's find out.
ELINOR: Ms. Mole?
MS. MOLE: Why, hello kids,
welcome to my home.
ARI: Wait, teachers
have homes?
MS. MOLE: [giggle]
That's right.
ARI: Mind. Blown.
[mimics expl*si*n sound]
ELINOR: Wow, Ms.
Mole your garden...
has so many
amazing flowers.
OLIVE: And lots
of butterflies!
ARI: That's just what
we were looking for!
MS. MOLE: Oh,
butterflies?
Why are you looking
for butterflies?
OLIVE: For my
mom's birthday.
She loves butterflies, so we
want to surprise her...
with a butterfly
party.
ARI: With real
butterflies!
MS. MOLE: Oh, what
a wonderful idea.
ELINOR: We saw some butterflies
in that field over there,
but we couldn't get them
to come to our party.
ARI: Yeah, they only seemed
to like hanging around
a special flower.
Oh!
Like this one!
MS. MOLE: Ah, yes.
Butterflies do like some
flowers more than others.
Lots of animals in Nature
prefer certain plants.
That one is called
a milkweed.
MS. MOLE: But butterflies
also like marigolds...
KIDS: Wow!
MS. MOLE: Lavender
KIDS: Wow! Cool!
MS. MOLE: Asters.
ARI: Cool!
MS. MOLE: Black-eyed
susans, phlox and sunflowers.
OLIVE: Ooooh.
OLIVE: I wish I could have
these flowers in my garden.
Then the butterflies would come
to my mom's party for sure.
ELINOR: Yeah!
ARI: Oh, yeah!
MS. MOLE: You can
have these flowers!
ELINOR: But how?
We don't have time to plant
them and wait for them to grow.
MS. MOLE: That's ok.
Take some of mine!
OLIVE: We can take
some of your flowers?
MS. MOLE: Sure!
In gardening, it's
ok to move plants...
from one spot
to another.
It's called
'transplanting'.
OLIVE: Transplanting!
I like that word.

I'm here as a butterfly

for your party, Ms. Elephant,
so we observed some.
OLIVE: And we learned that they
like some kinds of flowers
more than others.
ARI: So Ms. Mole helped us
bring some of her...
butterfly flowers here.
OLIVE: And then we transplanted
them into our garden,
so the butterflies
would come.

ELINOR: "More Than
One Way"
ELINOR: Hi Olive.
Hi Ari.
Are you scared?
OLIVE: Why should we
be scared, Elinor?
ELINOR: 'Cause it's
almost Halloween.
That's when spooky things
appear out of nowhere.
ARI: That doesn't
scare me.
Nothing scares me.
ARI: Ah!
KIDS: [giggle]
ELINOR: It was
just a leaf, Ari.
ARI: I knew that.
I was just jumping.
For fun.
You know...
So... what were we
talking about again?
KIDS: [giggle]
OLIVE: Halloween.
I love it.
ARI: Me too.
ELINOR: And you know what the
best part of Halloween is.
ARI: Mmhm.
OLIVE: Yep!
ELINOR: The cool
decorations.
ARI: Hmmm...
OLIVE: Oh!
OLIVE: Decorations
aren't the best part.
OLIVE: It's
the costumes.
ARI: Right...
Wait... What?
ARI: No! The best part
of Halloween...
isn't the costumes
or the decorations.
It's alllll the
yummy candy!
ELINOR: Okay, the candy is good,
but it wouldn't be Halloween
without all those
fun decorations.
Like jack-o-lanterns
and ghosts.
OLIVE: But what about wearing a
costume and going around...
the neighborhood dressed
like something fun?
ARI: I'm sorry but Halloween
is all about the candy.
Am I right?
ELINOR: I wonder...
how can we all have such
different favourite things
about Halloween?
ARI: I don't know.
OLIVE: Well I do know
we'll be late for school...
if we don't hurry.
Come on.
I can't wait to see what Ms.
Mole's doing for Halloween.
ELINOR: I hope there are
lots of scary decorations.
OLIVE: [gasp]
What's that?
ARI: [gasp]
It's a witch!!
ELINOR: [giggle]
It's just Ms. Mole.
She loves
Halloween too.
ARI: Oh yeah, I knew
it was her.
I was just trying to make
sure Olive wasn't scared.
You okay Olive?
OLIVE: Uh-huh
KIDS: Oohh! Wow!
Whoa!
MS. MOLE: Hi!
KIDS: [giggle]
MS. MOLE: Good Morning
Ghouls and Goblins.
Welcome to Halloween
Headquarters.
We're making decorations
for the classroom.
Want to help?
KIDS: Yeah! Ok!
ELINOR: Halloween decorations
are my favorite thing.
MS. MOLE: Well, it's one of the
things that make Halloween fun!
That and costumes and
candy, of course. [giggle]
They all make
Halloween special.
ELINOR: Ha.
We can all think
differently about Halloween.
MS. MOLE: Let's see
what we've got.
Ah!
Would you like to make spiderweb
decorations out of yarn
for the classroom?
KIDS: Okay! Sure!
MS. MOLE: Here are
some supplies.
Do you all know what a
spiderweb looks like?
KIDS: Yeah!
MS. MOLE: You know, when you
make something
that looks like the
real thing,
that's called
'making a model.'
KIDS: Oh! Cool!
MS. MOLE: Okay,
kids, have fun!
ELINOR: I'm going to
make the scariest looking
spiderweb model.
[humming]
OLIVE: I'm using this
yellow yarn,
so it looks like my
spiderweb is in the sun.
OLIVE: What color is your
spiderweb going to be, Ari?
ARI: Not "going to be."
ARI: Ta da!
A spiderweb.
ELINOR: Hmmm, I don't think a
spiderweb looks like that.
ARI: It doesn't?
Well, what does it
look like then?
ELINOR: Like this.
Kind of.
I think.
OLIVE: Mmmm.
I think a spiderweb
looks like this.
MS. MOLE: How are my
spiderweb builders doing?
ELINOR: Not so well,
Ms. Mole.
We each made spiderwebs,
but they're all different.
Can you tell us which one
looks like a real spiderweb?
MS. MOLE: You've all
made interesting models.
But...
I'm trying to remember what a
real spiderweb looks like.
OLIVE: You know, I haven't seen
a real spiderweb for a while.
ARI: It's been like
forever for me.
ELINOR: Me too.
[gasp] I know, let's go outside
and look for a real spiderweb.
Then we'll know how to
make our decorations
look like the real thing.
OLIVE: Good idea Elinor.
ELINOR: We need
more observations.
MS. MOLE: Ah yes, Bye!
[giggle]
ELINOR: Have
you found one yet?
ARI: Nothing here.
OLIVE: Nothing here either.
ARI: Aaah!
ARI: I wasn't scared.
KIDS: [giggle]
OLIVE: Sorry.
ELINOR: There's got
to be spiderwebs...
around here somewhere.
Let's keep looking.
ELINOR: Hmmm...
ARI: Hmmm...
OLIVE: [humming]
OLIVE: Nope!
ELINOR: I haven't
seen any spiderwebs.
Or spiders.
Maybe we're looking in
the wrong place.
OLIVE: You're right Elinor.
You should
look up.
ELINOR: [gasp] A spider.
ARI: Okay, we've found a
spider, but where's its web?
OLIVE: Let's watch
where it goes.
ARI: Wow!
ELINOR: Look!
ELINOR: It's hanging from a
really thin kind of string.
OLIVE: I think it's
called a spider thread.
It's making it
with its body.
That's what it uses to
make spiderwebs.
ELINOR: Look how it
climbs up the tree,
and then starts a
new one.
That's so cool.
ARI: Yeah...
But it's going to take a long
time to make a whole web.
OLIVE: You're right Ari.
Maybe we should look for one
that's already made.
ELINOR: You go ahead.
I'm going to stay and watch
this spider make its web.
It's so interesting!
OLIVE: Ok.
We'll let you know if
we find one.
[♪♪♪]
OLIVE: Okay
little spiders.
Come out, come out
wherever you are.
OLIVE: There's one.
Hello little spider.
Oh.
You look different from the
spider we saw before.
Now if you could just
lead me to your web.
[♪♪♪]
ARI: [gasp] Cool.
A spider!
And where there's a spider,
there must be a spiderweb.
Oh!
Let's go!
ELINOR: Wow. Look at how
fast you can make a web.
I bet it's going to
look just like mine.
OLIVE: Right behind
ya little spider.
Huh...
This spiderweb is not
what I expected.
OLIVE: It looks just
like the one Ari made.
OLIVE: I guess
he was right.
ARI: Ari the World's
Greatest Spider Finder...
lost his spider.
But he'll find it again.
Aaah!
ARI: Aha! I found you.
Right in the
middle of...
Huh..
That doesn't look like
the spiderweb I made.
It looks like the
one Elinor made.
ARI: I guess she
was right.
ELINOR: Well, you are a
very good web builder, spider.
But it doesn't look like
the web I made at all.
It looks like the web
Olive made.
ELINOR: I better
go tell her!
KIDS: Elinor,
Olive! Ari!
You're right!
ARI: Wait... what?
Huh?
ELINOR: How can
we all be right?
I watched my spider make
a web that looked...
just like the one
you made, Olive.
OLIVE: But the web I found
looked like Ari's model.
ARI: And the web
I found...
looked just like the
one Elinor made.
ELINOR: Wait, what did
your spider look like?
ARI: It was way different
from the first one we saw.
OLIVE: Mine was
different too.
ELINOR: That's
so interesting.
OLIVE: I think I know
what you're thinking, Elinor.
ARI: What? What are
you two thinking...
that I'm not thinking?
ELINOR: Maybe different
kinds of spiders make...
ARI: Aha! Make
different kinds of webs!
OLIVE: So there are different
kinds of spiderwebs.
ELINOR: Just like there
are different ways...
to think about
Halloween.
OLIVE: Let's go
tell Ms. Mole.
[♪♪♪]
ARI: Huh?
MS. MOLE: [scary moan]
[scary laugh]
ARI: [gasp]
It's a ghost!!
MS. MOLE: Ari?
Are you okay?
ARI: Sure. I was
just... um...
checking out for
ghosts under the desk.
It is all clear.
[giggle]
KIDS: [giggle]
MS. MOLE: Did you
find a spiderweb?
ELINOR: We didn't
find a spiderweb, Ms. Mole.
MS. MOLE: Oh?
ELINOR: We found
three spiderwebs.
MS. MOLE: Oh!
OLIVE: And they
were all different.
ARI: Because the spiders
were all different.
MS. MOLE: Well
aren't you clever.
You figured out that
different kinds of spiders
make different
kinds of webs.
ELINOR: So we were
all right.
Cool.
Let's get decorating.
