I'm a bunny!

Come on!

Hop inside with me!

Hop!

Hop!

Hop!

Hop!

Hop!

Today, it's my turn to take our class bunny, Snowball, home with me.

Teacher Harriet, is it time to take Snowball home?

- Not just yet, Daniel.

We still have a little bit of playtime left.

- And then it will be time to take Snowball home?

- Yes.

- Grr-ific!

Snowball, we're going to have so much fun at my house.

Now is it time to go?

- Not yet.

Why don't you join O and Katerina in the playhouse?

And I'll come tell you when it's time to go.

- Okay.

Hop hop hop hop!

Ow!

- Oh!

Are you all right?

- Uh-huh.

But...

I bumped my knee.

- Does this help?

- Uh-huh.

Thanks, Teacher Harriet.

- You're welcome.

See?

- What pet can I take care of?

I'll take care... of this bunny.

Because soon I'll be taking care of a real bunny.

Snowball.

Hi, bunny.

Are you hungry?

Here's a carrot stick for you.

Can you do all of those things?

It's really fun taking care of him.

It would be really fun to go to your castle, too.

- So will you come over?

- Well...

I'm...

I really want to play at Prince Wednesday's castle... but I also want to stay here and take care of Snowball.

- Well, it's all right with me.

- Me too.

How about I pick you up in a little while?

Sound good to you?

- Yes!

- Will you help us remember how to take care of Snowball too?

What else did Teacher Harriet say we should do?

Oh yeah!

Clean his cage!

- That's right!

Now, to clean his cage, you'll need to take Snowball out.

Can you do that by yourself?

- Uh-huh.

I'll be very gentle.

Come here, Snowball.

You need to come out so we can clean your cage.

'Cause it's kind of smelly.

- Rrrrrroyally smelly.

(giggling) This is the bunny play room.

- You stay here, Snowball, okay?

And we'll clean your cage.

- I'll empty out the stinky part, and you two wipe out the cage.

Deal?

- Deal!

Thanks, Mom!

Take out the water and food bowls... - Snowball's cage is kind of messy.

- And I'll wipe it all clean.

- Oh, that looks good.

- There.

Mom, look how we cleaned Snowball's cage.

- Nice work, you two.

Now you keep taking care of Snowball, and I'll go fix you both a snack.

- Royally great!

- Thanks!

- What do we do now?

- We need to brush Snowball's fur!

- Don't hop away!

- This will make your fur so soft and fluffy.

We cleaned his cage, we brushed his fur.

Now... - I have an idea!

We can play with him.

Come on, Snowball!

Try and knock down the cups.

- You can do it, Snowball!

- Yeah!

- He did it!

- One more cup, Snowball.

You can do it!

(giggling) - Tigertastic!

- All rrrrrrright!

- Who's hungry for a snack?

- We are!

- Why don't you two put Snowball back in his cage, and then wash up.

- We'll take care of it.

Into your comfy cozy cage.

Okay, let's go wash up.

- A royally great idea.

- ♪ Washa washa washa... and dry!

♪ (giggling) - Wait!

Mom, we can't eat our snack yet.

- Why not?

- We need to feed Snowball his snack first.

- I think he's very hungry.

- Let's go find a snack for Snowball.

What do you think Snowball would want?

How about some... lettuce.

Ooh, and carrots.

I think Snowball will like his snack.

What are you doing today, Neighbor?

- This is Maya with her dog Sparky.

Today, she's helping her dad give him a bath.

It's one way she helps take care of him.

Whoa!

Out comes the water.

I bet that water feels good.

Then, the shampoo.

Dogs use shampoo too, just like people.

Taking care of Sparky makes Maya feel good too.

Now for the rinse.

Time to dry him off.

Maya's doing a great job drying him.

Thanks, Maya, for showing us how you help take care of Sparky.

- I need your help, please, Daniel.

- Okay, Mom.

Be right back, horsie.

Let's go see what Mom wants.

(crying) Heeey!

Hi, Margaret.

What do you need, Mom?

- Margaret is a little fussy, and I can't reach her toys.

Could you reach them for me?

- Okay.

There you go... Margaret, do you want to play with the squishy octopus?

- Oh, dear.

- I don't think she wants the octopus.

Do you want this... red tugboat?

Toot toot!

No?

Um, how about this... toucan?

I think she likes the toucan.

- Ooh, good choice, big brother.

- I thought she would like it.

Margaret!

You splashed me!

You're taking a bath, not me.

- Margaret loves to splash.

I always get wet too!

- Do you like giving Margaret a bath... even though she gets you all wet?

- I do.

- Well, first we do the shampoo.

Can you squirt a little bit into my hand?

- Okay.

(Squirt!

Squirt!)

Splat!

- Now I can wash Margaret's fur.

- Sure, let's go.

- How many bunnies are there?

- There are eight bunnies.

There's a mother bunny, five babies and two white rabbits.

- Can I play with them?

- Sure.

Hello, Snowball.

Have you ever held a bunny before?

- Um, I have in my preschool.

'Cause one other teacher, she had, um, I don't know what kind of bunny it is, but it's the kind with the red eyes.

- Oh, wow.

Yeah, he does like being brushed.

He's spoilt.

Would you like to feed the bunnies?

- Yeah, sure.

- Here's some bunny food!

Nope, they don't seem to be very hungry.

- Karen, thank you for letting me play with your bunnies.
