the end

[Music]

that was good that brad kid should read

this book

he's kind of like george yeah george

wasn't very good at sharing either was

he

no when you don't share you just end up

playing all by yourself

and it's hard to make friends i think

george

learned that well i bet you're very good

at making friends

have you made any new friends yet sarah

well

what i guess there's a girl who lives

next door to me

but she's older than i am so

you can still be friends can't you uh

it's hard when you move to a new place

making new friends and stuff

yeah well i guess i better head back to

the story place

oh would you like to come sarah

sure you should invite me to this third

place too oh well

then come on thanks a lot for reading to

us ming-na you are very welcome kino

mwah yeah thanks okay bye-bye

bye-bye

[Music]

come on sarah bye-bye here and so is

perry oh hi kino

hi this is perry and stephanie hello

nice to meet you hi just moved into the

neighborhood

yeah oh keno i thought you were gonna

play some soccer today

i was playing but this new kid brad kept

hogging the ball

oh well maybe he's not very good at

sharing

well that's what ming na said sharing is

friendly and not sharing

isn't friendly well what do you do when

you want to make a new friend

i would say hi and i will buy you some

ice cream

that's a good idea yeah

[Laughter]

have you ever moved to a new

neighborhood stephanie no

what do you think it would feel like if

you did

you probably don't have a new friend

yeah lonely

i think when you move to a new place

sometimes you're afraid you'll be

different from the other kids i think

that's

uh very natural to feel that way but

it's important that you just

be yourself yeah you know people can be

very different from each other and still

be great friends don't you think

uh-huh yeah they can you know i have a

couple of stories here that are

about being yourself you want to hear

them yes

yeah sure okay the first one is called

tacky the penguin

and it's by helen lester and the

pictures are by lynn munsinger

oh great why don't you scroll down get

real close you can see the pictures

there you go okay look

[Music]

there once lived a penguin his home was

a nice

icy land he shared with his companions

his companions were named goodly

lovely angel

neatly and perfect

his name was tacky

tacky was an odd bird

every day goodly lovely

angel neatly and perfect

greeted each other quietly and politely

[Music]

tacky greeted them with a hearty slap on

the back

and a what's happening

[Music]

goodly lovely angel

neatly and perfect always marched

one two three four one

two three four tacky

always marched one two

three four two

three six so two and a half

zero

his companions were graceful divers

tacky liked to do splashy cannonballs

goodly lovely angel

neatly and perfect always saying

pretty songs like sunrise

on the icebergs

tacky always saying songs like

how many toys does a fish have

tacky was an odd bird

one day the penguins heard the thump

thump thump a feat in the distance

this could only mean one thing

hunters had come they came with

maps and fraps and rocks and

locks and they were rough and tough

as the thump thump thump drew closer

the penguins could hear the growly

voices chanting

we're gonna get some pretty penguins

and we'll march him with a switch

and we'll sell them for a dollar

and get rich rich rich

goodly lovely angel neatly

and perfect ran away in fright

they hid behind a block of ice

[Music]

tacky stood alone the hunters marched

right up to him chanting we're gonna

catch

some pretty penguins and we'll march

them with

a switch and we'll sell them for a

dollar

and get rich rich rich

what's happening blair attacking

giving one hunter an especially hardy

slap on the back

they growled we're hunting for penguins

that's what's happening

said tacky do you mean those birds that

march neatly in a row

and he marched one two three

four two three six oh

two and a half zero

the hunters looked puzzled

[Music]

do you mean those birds that died so

gracefully

tacky a*s and he did a splashy

cannonball

the hunters looked wet

do you mean those birds that sing such

pretty songs

tacky began to sing and from behind the

block of ice came the voices of his

companions

all singing as loudly and dreadfully as

they could

how many toes does a fish have

and how many wings on a cow

i wonder yep i wonder

well the hunters could not stand the

horrible singing

this could not be the land of the pretty

penguins

they ran away with their hands clasped

tightly over their

ears leaving behind their mats and traps

and rocks and locks

and not looking at all rough

goodly lovely angel

neatly and perfect hugged tacky

tacky was an odd bird but he was a very

nice bird to have around

the end oh boy

it's lucky tacky was so different huh

what would have happened if tacky

had acted just like all the other

penguins

maybe they were to catch them mm-hmm

[Music]

or maybe they could have k*lled him

maybe so tacky just kept on being

himself

that's what saved those penguins from

those hunters

what's the other book about being

yourself perry oh

the other book is called the most

beautiful kid in the world

and it's by jennifer a erickson with

pictures by susan medoff

kid in the world

peanut butter kiss

that was so funny amy's grandmother

wore clothes like the ones annie put on

i do

i know well do you think annie's mother

and annie's grandmother think the same

clothes are beautiful for annie

no no why not

cause annie's mom i don't think she

likes

it but i think he and his grandmother

love her

doctor yeah what do you think stephanie

i think that um annie's mom didn't like

her but

um the grandma did why why do you think

because the grandma um she

um she wore clothes just like that yeah

yeah cause they were being themselves

right yeah

yeah they were yeah but did annie think

that

she looked like the most beautiful in

the world with the clothes that she'd

picked out

just being herself wasn't she and so was

her grandma and so was her mom
