In through your nose, out through your mouth.

Good.

Good.

Get over on this side.

Oh, yeah.

Well, your bottom piece is a little flappy.

You need some glue.

My assistant will schedule something.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Oh, hi!

Welcome to my terrific elevator!

Should we make sure the elevator is ready for the day?

- We should.

- Let's do it!

Elevator buttons ready.

- [Tibitz] Elevator buttons are colorful, shiny and activated.

Ready!

- Toothbrush team, ready?

- [Tibitz] Teeth are squeaky clean.

Ready!

- Pep talk, ready?

- Pep talk, you are smart.

- I am smart.

We're just a couple of smarties at the party.

Hooray!

- Step one of my shoeseum complete.

- Your shoeseum?

Looks like a shelf to me.

- Well, it is a shelf, but it's also part of my shoeseum.

- What's a shoeseum?

- It's my dream, my vision, my latest artistic masterpiece.

(chimes jingling) It's like a museum and it's all shoes.

A shoeseum.

- Oh!

And you're using these shoes.

- They're all the shoes from the lost and found.

People left them behind and they've been stinking at my office.

I'm going to display them here in the elevator, so hopefully the people who lost them can find them again.

- The shoes are art.

I get it!

- I'm turning blah into ah!

- Turning shoe into shoe.

Can I help?

- Of course.

You can be my assistant.

- (gasping) Museum assistant?

I like the sound of that.

Let's make this the most fabulous shoeseum ever.

- Now I have a very specific idea for how the shoes will go on the shelf.

I'm thinking something like these boots.

- Oh, yes.

- And then maybe these heels (Albie gasping) and then these flip flops.

(Albie gasping) - Incredible.

Amazing.

Genius.

- Definitely better than a lost and found pile.

Okay, so next.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Another pair of boots.

- Yeah.

(elevator dinging) - Oh!

Rosie!

Albie!

I'm in dreadful trouble.

- Elaine, what is it?

- Oh, I simply cannot find the key to my mailbox in this enormous bag.

Oh, and I must get to the birthday gift my sister sent me.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

- It's okay.

It's okay.

Albie, could you take over the shoeseum for now?

I'm gonna help Elaine get her package.

- Me?

The museum assistant?

Take over?

- Just continue the pattern I started.

- [Albie] The pattern?

- You know, just keep putting the pairs of shoes on the shelf in that order and so on and so on.

- Oh, that poor birthday gift in my mailbox, sitting there alone, without me.

Oh!

- It's gonna be all right.

- Just keep the pattern going.

I'll be back soon.

- But!

But!

(elevator door clanking) Tibitz!

What did Rosie mean by patterns?

- A pattern is an arrangement of things that repeats.

For example, a pattern of shapes might be circle, then square, then another circle, followed by another square, and so on.

- And so on and so on and so on and so on and- - And so on and so on and so on and so on.

- Ah!

I don't know which ones I'm supposed to put up next!

I need a shoe expert!

(Albie gasping) Destination, shoe experts!

- Hey!

Hey!

- Oh, yes.

All right.

- Bring it!

- Hey!

(tap shoes clicking) (Albie gasping) - Oh, hey, Albie.

- Now those are some cool shoes.

- These are tap shoes.

- There's a little metal plate on the toe.

- The front of the shoe.

- And heel.

- [Dancer] The back of the shoe.

- And they make a sound when you dance with them.

- Sounds like you know your way around a shoe, which is perfect.

I'm helping Rosie set up her shoeseum and she wants the shoes to be in a pattern.

- How fun?

- It would be if I knew which shoe came next.

Ugh!

- Well, let's break it down.

We know a pattern is a certain order of things that repeats.

- Like in tap dancing, I can do a shuffle.

(tap shoes clicking) - Ooo!

- Ah-ha!

- Woo!

- And a step.

- Then you repeat those moves.

- Shuffle, hop, step.

(tap shoes clicking) - [Together] Shuffle, hop, step.

(tap shoes clicking) - Shuffle, hop, step.

(laughing) - Exactly.

So what pattern do you see on the shelf?

- Ah, I see boots, then heels, then flip flops.

Rosie said another pair of boots.

- Looks like Rosie started a pattern.

- What would come after the boots?

- Hmm.

After the boots, she put a pair of high heels.

So maybe another pair of heels.

- Awesome job, Albie.

- Which means after that, I'd put up another pair of flip flops.

- You're getting it.

- Ha!

- Heel, boot, flip flop.

- [Together] Heel, boot, flip flop.

Heel, boot, flip flop.

(dancers laughing) (Albie laughing) - Hey, Albie, would you mind adding this lost pair of tap shoes to your collection?

- Of course.

(items clattering) (Albie laughing) Got 'em!

Thanks!

(upbeat music) - Nice!

- Good luck with the rest of your shoeseum, Albie.

- [Dancer] Bye!

- [Dancer] See ya!

- [Albie] Bye!

- [Dancer] Buh-bye!

(upbeat music) - There are still plenty of lost shoes and a whole other shelf.

I can make my own pattern.

Hey, Huggy!

- Hello!

- Wanna help me make a pattern?

- He do!

- All right!

You're officially the assistant museum assistant.

(Huggy Pepper gasping) - Here!

Here!

- I think we should put a small shoe on the shelf, then a big shoe, then a small, big, small, big.

(Huggy Pepper exclaiming) Let's do it!

That's three pink beads, then a blue bead.

That bracelet is a pattern.

- Imagine a metal tool with crab claws on the side.

- Ooo!

Crab claw!

Here you go.

- And wrench-o was his name-o.

(elevator dinging) - Oh, hey, Albie.

- Hi!

I wanna make a tiny bicycle.

- Ooo, I love making teeny tiny art.

- How teeny tiny we talking?

- Check this out.

I actually had a very big piano exactly like this growing up.

I took piano lessons on it.

This is my teeny tiny piano that I made from all sorts of scraps that I've collected for years and years and years.

The keys are made from some old gift boxes.

This is an old notebook.

You can even see some of my handwriting on it and my favorite part is these pedals here, that was always my favorite part of playing the piano too.

It was a really loud, really big piano, but for me, the memories still fit inside this little teeny tiny one that I made.

- Whoa!

That is so tiny!

- Let's make a teeny tiny bicycle.

I've gathered up a lot of scrap materials that I think remind me of a bike that I wanna make.

So first I'm getting, I think, another old notebook and I cut it apart and I'm gluing it to make the bars a little thicker.

I use scissors, sometimes I use stronger scissors 'cause the paper's really thick and then when I get a little bit of it constructed, I start working on another part, like this wheel.

I look around and say, what reminds me of a wheel?

Or maybe they remind me of something else, like a special time that I rode a bike and so I gather those together and start cutting apart and gluing.

The fun part is kind of just diving in and seeing what happens.

I like working with small things because it helps me think about the object and the memories a little closer to me, but I don't think of them as small.

In my mind, even though they come out small, they're still really big and important.

Like this bicycle, it may be tiny, but in my mind, I think of it as this big important bicycle that took me lots of places.

Lots of important places.

- Hmm.

- Albie, why do you need a tiny bicycle?

- Well, Huggy needs a teeny tiny bike so they can help.

- I wonder if there's a way we can all work on the same bike together.

- Even a big bike has teeny, tiny details.

- Really?

- Sometimes the little details are the most important part.

Bye, Albie.

- Bye!

(elevator doors clanking) - Hmm.

What can Huggy help with?

- Everybody's good at different things.

I'm good at making deliveries, so I help our neighbors carry up their groceries.

- Huh?

I'm good at hitting buttons.

- Remember that one time when you helped our neighbor find their hat?

- Oh, yeah.

Tibitz and I help everybody get ready for the day.

- What do you think Huggy is good at?

- Lots of things.

One time Huggy helped me get a toy that was stuck under my chair and Huggy always has the perfect song to play.

- See?

Everybody's good at something.

We just have to find the right Huggy job.

- Right Huggy job.

(Albie gasping) Huggy?

Huggy Pepper?

Huggy?

Huggy, I'm sorry.

I thought that being bigger meant I was better at helping, but that's not true.

You're a good helper, Huggy.

(Huggy Pepper speaking gibberish) - I love you too, Huggy.

(tire hissing) What's that sound?

Huh?

(Albie gasping) - Oh, no!

Well, sss to you too, bike.

(Huggy Pepper speaking gibberish) - Huggy's right.

It's sounds like air is coming out of the wheel.

- I almost forgot, the cap.

- The cap?

- There's a tiny cap that twists on the wheel so none of the air comes out.

Oh.

It's so teeny tiny, I can barely hold onto it.

(Albie gasping) - Huggy, we need your help.

You can put the cap on to stop the air.

That's the Huggy job!

(Huggy Pepper speaking gibberish) - Okay, helper, Huggy.

♪ Twist the cap ♪ ♪ Twist, twist the cap ♪ ♪ Twist the cap ♪ ♪ Twist, twist the cap ♪ ♪ Twist the cap ♪ ♪ Twist, twist the cap ♪ - The air stopped!

- Not squishing, not hissing.

(Huggy Pepper speaking gibberish) (Albie laughing) - Thanks for spending time with me today.

Anybody can help and helping your friends is fun.

- One wheel down.

- Hmm.

- One to go.

- That one looks hardcore.

- It is.
