Danny he is getting too big for this

aquarium I can remember when he was just

a tadpole what's a tadpole a baby frog

look I'll show you it starts out as a

little clear egg in the water then the

tadpole hatches from the egg it looks

sort of like a fish it has a tail and

swims underwater oh so that's a baby

frog yeah when a tadpole begins to grow

legs its tail gets shorter and shorter

wow then what happens well pretty soon

the tadpole's tail is gone and it

becomes a frog with big back legs just

right for hopping out of the water and

all around the pond

[Music]

all right everybody who are you oh

what's this it's Kristen's frog she's

had him since he was just a tadpole oh

live near ponds and ducks and squirrels

Wiggle

believe there are some fish in that pot

I could go fishing I need this whistle

though now why on Earth would you need

that whistle scooter well that's how you

go fishing isn't it you blow a

windshield

[Music]

and the fish come running I mean

[Music]

Barney what other animals like to live

around ponds where do we find out with

this

[Music]

ice cream

buns are homes for all kinds of animals

who like fish

and ducks

many animals like deer and squirrels

come to a pond to drink the water

sometimes you might even see a moose or

two thank you

plants around the pond are food for some

animals and some animals like beavers

make their homes in a pond how does it

do that oh beavers build a home out of

sticks and mud then they can swim in and

out of their house on the pond what else

lives in a pond well plants like lily

pads make great shape for fish and frogs

sometimes you might even see turtles

setting themselves on a log in the water

I love turtles

if you take a closer look you might see

animals like a dragonfly for a

grasshopper a pond is a great home to

many kinds of plants and animals

do you think anything will come to live

at our pond well my frog is already here

and we do have some fish I hope some

insects come too oh I hope so especially

butterflies oh I just love butterflies

no buns need to be kept clean so all the

animals that live there have clean water

help keep our pond clean by picking up

any Trash we see and by putting trash in

lived in a pond very much like yours

really a prince who looked like a frog

and he could only be changed into a

prince Again by the Friendship of a

everybody needs friends even frogs and A

promise is a promise I guess you're

right father everybody needs friends and

I should keep my promise

I just love Stella's stories me too they

always make me feel like I'm in a place

Anything Can Happen

where anything can happen oh do you mean

like in a Land of Make Believe

[Music]

little birds get sentencing and we could

fly with magic wings or maybe for a day

I could be king

what if in the sky the rows and rows of

clouds were fluffy marshmallows and we

could reach them on our tippy toes

[Music]

it's true anything can happen

What If see on the ocean in a tub

rolling while we scrub a dub watching

bubbles flying through the sky

[Music]

fly around the world in a big balloon

and every day could bring a new surprise

[Music]

hey look who else wants to live in our

pond what

oh it's a turtle

turtles are so cool I like the way they

come with their own little house

when a turtle wants to go home he just

has to go inside his shell

home right on his back my brother and I

I found a turtle when we were hiking one

time we made a home form in a cardboard

Turtles
