(kids applauding) - Ba da beep ba ba da ba.

Just before we went live there.

I knocked my globe over or monkey did you do that?

- Nope - Oh, I know it was me.

Well, hi friends.

I'm so glad you're here.

Okay.

To get things rolling we've got an opening question.

If you were a howler monkey, what would your howl sound like?

Let's go to you Scribble Jim.

What would your howl sound like?

- Well I know that they have a very, it almost sounds like a horrible sink drain.

It sounds like a (howling) so I think it would sound something like that.

(animal howling) - What?

- That's what Kylezilla thinks it would sound like but I think it would sound more like (speaker howling) - Those are similar though.

They both have a nice deep tone to it.

- They kinda are.

Right?

Yeah.

- Thanks Jim.

That's good.

Hey Brody.

Brody's with us.

Ooh, I like that.

SkrEEEEEEEEEE.

What do you think Moby?

- Hello.

- Whoa.

Look at all those monkeys.

Whoa.

- So I think mine howler monkey and howl would sound kinda like this.

(howling) - Nice.

That's got nice texture to it.

Like a vibrato.

Nice.

Do any of those monkeys that you have with you do they make any sounds?

- These two do.

- Nice.

Nice.

Can I put you on the spot and have you demonstrate-- (monkeys laughing) Oh.

Whoa they really do.

That's not even just pretend.

That was like the real deal.

Thanks Brody.

All right.

Lucy, same question.

What would your howler howl sound like.

- I was thinking maybe.

(howling) - Nice.

You got like nice syllables and almost a melody to yours.

- Yeah.

I was thinking it was fighting for a monkey.

- Oh, I love it.

Oh there's a monkey behind you too.

Did you see that monkey there?

- Wait, where?

- Right behind you.

No on the other side.

No.

Yeah right there.

Do you see him?

- Yep.

Partly because of the episode.

I'll tell you about him later.

- Oh.

I love it.

Thanks Lucy.

We'll see you soon.

Friends at home.

I need your help with the opening song.

Will you share with me a number between one and 10 and something that rhymes with that number?

You know what I mean?

So think of a number then come up with a rhyme for that number.

I'm gonna go to Brody.

Brody.

You got a, you got a number or a rhyme?

- Well, I was thinking the number of monkeys I have.

- Oh, how many?

- So there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6.

So six.

- Six of them.

Okay.

Six and then a word that rhymes with the number six.

- Well, I was thinking fix.

- Oh.

Fix.

Got it.

Thanks Brody.

Okay, here we go.

The monkeys go marching six by six.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching six by six.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching six by six.

The little one stopped because he had to fix the broken chair that he was sitting on and they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom.

The monkeys go marching two by two.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching two by two.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching two by two.

The little one stopped to tie his shoe (howling) and they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom.

I'm gonna pick up the speed here a little bit.

The monkeys go marching seven by seven.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching seven by seven.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching seven by seven.

The little one stops and looks up to heaven and is up in a tree.

(laughs) I didn't even plan that looks up in a tree to be closer up to heaven.

And they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom.

Do monkeys like the rain?

Why do they have to get out of the rain?

I think they'd be like, ah, nice shower.

Ooh.

Nine.

The monkeys go marching nine by nine.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching nine by nine.

Ooh ah.

Ooh ah.

The monkeys go marching nine by nine.

The little one stops to read the sign that said, hmm.

Friends.

Any idea for what the sign might say?

Hmm.

Maybe the sign says... Ooh three and cheese.

Maybe it's a sign about cheese cuz that tied right into the cheese.

Hey, did I see cheese?

I saw cheese.

Right?

Where did that rhyme with?

Cheese three?

Three, yeah three of course.

Three cheese.

Okay.

They saw a sign that said free cheese must be three or older.

No three pieces of free cheese.

(laughs) Blue cheese?

Havarti?

Cheddar?

Oh man.

I'm getting off focus now.

And they all go marching down to the ground to be the first one done singing the song.

(laughs) Hi Joe.

Man that was lot of fun friends.

Thanks for helping out with that song.

Hey, let's go find out what Moby's gonna say today.

(upbeat horn music) - I was reading that there are more than 260 different species of monkeys in the world.

Oh, I also learned that monkeys have tails apes don't.

And monkeys have unique fingerprints like people do.

Monkeys like to hang out in trees.

Some monkeys spend all their time in trees but some spend part of their time on the ground.

And monkeys are smart.

Did you know that monkeys were the first astronauts in space?

(laughs) That is so cool.

Hey, would you like to visit space?

Would you like to visit with a monkey?

Huh, monkeys.

They're cool.

(upbeat horn music) - Oh, that would be so cool.

Going up to outer space with a monkey astronaut leading the way.

Friends it's time for today's one, two, Three Sentence Story.

Let's write a story, friends, in three sentences.

In the first sentence we set the scene.

In the second sentence there is a problem.

And in the third sentence there is a solution.

Friends let's go to Lucy.

We're gonna find out what idea Lucy has for the very first word to start this story.

What do you think Lucy?

- Oh Wimee, I was thinking the best word is banana.

- Banana.

Thanks Lucy.

Okay.

The story begins with the word banana.

Okay, here we go.

I was out in the jungle ready to have a delicious lunch of banana salad this morning.

All right.

We know the scene is in a jungle.

We know I'm gonna have a delicious lunch of a banana salad.

But oh no, there's a problem.

Oh my goodness.

Okay.

Brody, can you help me out?

Share with me a second word any word at all.

What word you thinking of?

- Little monkey's sleeping.

- Oh, shh sorry.

Sorry monkey.

- So I think we should do mango.

- Oh, mango.

Thanks Brody.

Thanks monkey friends.

Okay.

I'll keep whispering just in case.

This morning I was out in the jungle having a delicious banana salad.

I realized that mangoes would make the salad taste even more delicious, but the mangoes were rotten.

No!

Not a rotten mango!

Whew.

I can't have a mango banana fruit salad if the mangoes are rotten.

What do we do?

How do we get a fresh mango?

Okay.

We need a third word.

We need to figure out the solution.

I've got a monkey friend.

He's ready to help I can tell.

That monkey is just anxious to, hmm.

Maybe the third word will inspire a location or a way to get fresh mangoes or maybe we can hmm.

Rainstorm.

(gasps) Rainstorm.

We need to grow more fresh mangoes and it takes rain.

So here we go friends from the top.

I was out in the jungle having a delicious banana salad for lunch.

I wanted to add mangoes, but all the mangoes were rotten.

No!

I decided to plant a mango tree and with enough rainfall... What was the word exactly?

Was it rainstorm?

Rainfall?

Rain.

It was rain something.

Rainstorm!

It was a rainstorm.

Okay.

So with enough rain and especially from rainstorms we grew the world's most amazing mango tree.

(glass thudding) Oh my goodness.

I just knocked over... That's okay, nothing to see here.

Sorry plant!

Maybe the rainstorm came right into the studio and knocked the plants over.

But what happened was I actually, you know what?

I should do some research to find out how long a mango... Is it a mango tree?

I'm pretty sure it's a tree, right friends?

That mangoes grow on.

How long does it take?

Maybe the monkey has got a secret ancient ability to grow like Jack and the bean stock kind of thing.

Right?

Maybe it grows really fast.

Okay.

I'm getting focused on the details now.

We'll get the details later.

But right now friends, we did it.

Thanks Wimage Board.

Yeah.

I'll have to get that plant, but that's okay.

It's time for Check Out This Book.

(rock music) - Joyanne from the Kid District Library here to share another great book with you.

This one is called "There Was An Old Monkey Who Swallowed A Frog" and it is so fun.

I loved reading this book.

I read it to some of our preschool friends and had such a terrific time.

I challenge you as you read it to not sing the song while you're going through, because that was fun.

And this book there's terrific illustrations and pictures, and it even introduces you to some of the unusual animals and plants that you'll find in a rainforest.

Like an iguana, or a toucan, or the sloth and mangoes and the old monkey eats them all.

And it's just a fun little romp through the rainforest and it goes kind of like this.

♪ There was an old monkey who swallowed a frog ♪ ♪ I don't know why he swallowed frog ♪ ♪ What a hog ♪ (speaker laughs) And it's fun.

I hope you enjoy it.

This one is by Jennifer Ward and it is published by Marshall Cavendish Corporation out of New York.

And I will see you next time.

(rock music) - That book looks awesome.

And that song remake of the song and Jim, in the song, he had an old monkey.

I wonder if that's the same old monkey who swallowed the hog?

(laughs) Was it?

- It is.

Same monkey.

- Okay.

I wondered.

I had a feeling.

Whew oh man.

I think it went down based on the weight and the lift.

And now it just went back up and look at all the fresh mango on the trees.

And the monkey is so happy.

And I'm gonna go join the monkey and have a banana mango fruit salad.

Sunny day, sun rain, nature trees.
