[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

beautiful kid in the world
and it's by jennifer a erickson with
pictures by susan medoff

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
