It's a little red squirrel

From the Woodlands of Scotland ♪

Hello, Wonder Pets. Look how high

You can really throw it ♪

Aye, and don't I know it ♪

I can bounce an acorn on

my tail too. Wanna see?

Oopsie.

Come back here, acorn.

Uh, little red squirrel? Usually, when

an animal calls, they have a problem.

So, is there anything

you need help with?

My problem is I have ten acorns,

but I buried them for the winter,

and now I can't find them.

There's just so much fun

stuff To do in the woods ♪

I found it a

terrible struggle ♪

To stop playing and dancing

And frolickin' about ♪

Acorns are such

fun to juggle ♪

And now I can't remember where

I buried any of my acorns.

In fact, this is the only one I have

left. And now I lost it too.

The red squirrel's

in trouble ♪

He needs our help for sure ♪

Unbelievable ♪

Don't hide from your friend

Who's name starts with a Z ♪

That's me.

I know ♪

Zuri, what's wrong?

I just got the steering

wheel right over there.

Then I played for a

bit, and it disappeared.

Bunny's honor.

It's okay, we can

help you find it.

- You can?

- Sure.

When I misplace something, I try to stop

and think about where I last had it.

I do that too.

Then I took this stool

for a spin. Whee!

Then I put on this hat.

Hop-swept with this broom.

And dropped the steering wheel in…

…this pile of doll clothes.

You did it!

Nice work, Zuri.

Now it's done.

Come on, we've got a little

red squirrel to save.

Bubble power!

We are coming to save you,

little Scottish squirrel!

Welcome to the Scottish

Woodlands, Wonder Pets.

Keep your eyes peeled for

the little red squirrel.

Ooh, at least we've got some

hoppin' beats while we search.

Wait, where's that music coming from?

It kind of sounds like bagpipes.

Or twig-pipes. Look, it's

the little red squirrel.

Um, excuse me?

Little red squirrel?

Uh…

Oh, Wonder Pets. Sorry, I was playing

my twig-pipes, and I didn't see you.

Can you help me to find

Where my acorns are buried? ♪

Winter is coming,

and I am so worried ♪

It's okay. We got this.

Tate, you dig for his

acorns over there.

I'm on it.

Zuri, you dig over there.

I'm digging that.

Hop-dig, dig-a-dig-a-hop ♪

And you and I can search here.

We're digging and

searching all around ♪

Gotta find ten acorns

Buried in the ground ♪

I found one! Sorry,

it's just a pinecone.

We're digging and

searching all around ♪

Got one!

False alarm It's just an

old berry that I found ♪

Hold on What's that sound? ♪

Oh, sorry. Okay,

back to searching.

Hey, I found one!

Ouch! That's my tail.

Whoops. Sorry, Tate.

How many more holes

do we need to dig? ♪

And why are these

woods all so big? ♪

Aw, we'll never find

the acorns at this rate.

Look, it's starting

to snow. Which means…

Winter is here!

Unbelievable ♪

This is even worse than when I couldn't

find the steering wheel back at school.

That's it! Instead of

searching all around the woods,

maybe the squirrel can do the same thing

you did to find the steering wheel.

Hoppin' idea, Izzy!

Retrace your steps ♪

Remember how ♪

You found your way To

where you are right now ♪

What was it you were doing? ♪

Carefully recall Your

movements and your actions ♪

Every detail, big and small ♪

Retrace your steps

What comes to mind? ♪

Where were you when you lost

The thing you want to find? ♪

Just think back

You can do it ♪

You'll lead

yourself right to it ♪

Just retrace your steps ♪

Ooh, I love that idea. So,

retrace my steps means, like

It means, go back and try to

remember what you were doing

when you lost your ten acorns.

- And we can help with some teamwork.

- Teamwork!

So, what were you doing when you

first started burying your acorns?

First I put 'em down here in a pile

Then I juggled 'em around for a while ♪

Then I played a sweet tune

And I said, "See you soon" ♪

And I buried them over

there With a smile ♪

That's it! I was playing and

dancing, and I dug right here!

I see one.

Nine more to go.

Then what'd you do?

Then I danced and dug

Over here and here ♪

It's all coming back

to me Nice and clear ♪

One, two ♪

- Three ♪

- And four ♪

It's working Tell us more ♪

Then I got a bit thirsty

So I went to the loch ♪

A loch is a

lake. Like this one.

And I stashed some acorns

In a boggin' old sock ♪

There they are! Three more!

That's five, six, seven. Three

more to go, and we'll have all ten!

Then what did you do?

Then I did cartwheels

All the way back here ♪

Whee!

- And after that? ♪

- I took a break right up this tree ♪

Eight, nine, and ten.

That's all of them.

You did it!

Yay!

Yay, indeed. Thank

you, Wonder Pets.

Mom, Dad, look.

The Wonder Pets helped me

find all ten acorns I lost.

Oh, how wonderful.

Now you'll have enough

to eat all winter. Ooh.

Speaking of eating, I think

this calls for a celery-bration.

Would you like to try some acorn

nut butter with your celery?

Ooh, it has just

the right amount of nuttiness.

Mind if I take this as

a souvenir?

It's all yours.

I think our work here

is done, Wonder Pets.

I'll play you a song as you go!

Uh, wait a minute. Where

did I leave my twig-pipes?

I know! I'll just stop

and retrace my steps.

Over here where I last had it.

This is even worse than when Izzy

and I were fighting over that carrot

back in the classroom.

Hey, we weren't

this bad. Were we?

Kinda.

Wait. That's it!

Maybe they can do the

same thing you two did.

Eat a carrot?

No, I mean split the dung and share it.

dung-a-riffic job spotting it.

Thanks. And your rolling

was pretty dung-tastic too.

This is a pretty giant ball of

dung Enough for both our families ♪

It's true!

But how can we be sure to break it

up So that it's split exactly in two? ♪
