(upbeat music) (music stops) - [Moby] I learned that a zoo is much more than just a fun place to visit.

Yeah, zoos allow us to see and learn about animals that we wouldn't normally get to see.

They take good care of the animals at the zoo, and they make sure their food, and homes, are very much like their natural home.

Zoos also help protect animals with conservation and preservation programs.

Have you ever been to the zoo?

What animals would you like to see and learn more about?

(upbeat music) (music stops) (imitates drums) - I wonder how many animals there are in the entire world.

I haven't thought about it.

Friends, it's time for today's (guitar music) ♪ One, two, three sentence story ♪ Let's write a story in three sentences.

In the first sentence, we set the scene.

In the second sentence, there is a (sing-song voice) problem.

(makes sad trumpet sound) But don't worry, because in the third sentence there is a (sing-song voice) solution!

(makes drum sound) Share with us a person, place, or thing.

Let's get rolling.

Hey Nikel, share with me the very first word, any word at all, to start the story.

- Hmm.

Maybe a hand, a door.

- A door.

I love it!

Thanks Nikel!

All right, the story will begin, and the word door is in the sentence.

Okay.

(clears throat) I decided to open up my front door and head on over to the zoo.

(laughs) So we know I'm leaving my house.

I'm on my way heading down to the zoo.

But oh no!

There's a problem.

(makes dramatic music sound) Seal.

(laughs) Thanks, Joe.

All right, there's a problem with the seal.

There I am, leaving my door, headed to the zoo.

Okay, seal, okay.

I opened up my front door and I headed on out down to the zoo.

As I got to the seal habitat, (clicks tongue) I realized that, Hmm, problem at the seal habitat.

Oh Wimage Board, I see the seal has a ball.

I'm wondering if the problem might have something, oh, okay, I got it, I got it!

When I got to the seal habitat, I noticed there was a ball stuck to the nose of the seal.

Oh no!

What happened?

The seal's like there's a ball, there's a ball stuck to my nose, stuck to my nose!

(laughs) I don't know if that's what the seal sounds like.

Yes, I'm going to try to help you.

Friends, we need a word!

Something that will help solve this problem, the problem of the ball stuck to the seal's nose.

Balloons.

(laughs) Okay I got it, I got it.

(clicks tongue) Okay, from the top.

I opened up my front door and I headed on out down to the zoo.

When I got to the seal habitat, I noticed a ball was stuck on the nose of the seal.

Oh, no!

What happened?

The seal is like there's a ball, there's a ball!

I immediately deployed my rescue balloon to detach the balloon safe and sound.

(laughs) Look at that!

The balloon is going to save, friends, do you have a, what did I call it?

A balloon safety, no I forgot what I called it.

I'm gonna call it a balloon safety kit.

Yeah, the balloon can go and magically solve any problem.

Whoa, we should use this for future stories, friends.

I think so.

The zebra agrees.

I love it.

Well, thanks Wimage Board.

We'll check back with you later and see what else you might add to today's Wimage.

Fun story.

I really gotta, I'm gonna really stick to more about that balloon safety kit.

All right friends, let's find out how to say today's word zoo in some different languages.

(bright guitar music throughout segment) - In Spanish, zoo is (Spanish).

- In French, zoo is (French).

- [Woman] In American Sign Language, zoo is signed zoo.

- In Swahili, zoo is (Swahili).

- In German, zoo is (German).

- Zoo in Haitian Creole is (Haitian Creole).

(bright guitar music comes to an end) - (humming) Whew, friends, guess what?

We are excited to launch the first of our partnership with the John Ball Zoo for today's segment of Going to the Zoo.

♪ We're ♪ (upbeat music starts) ♪ going to the zoo ♪ ♪ With all our friends ♪ ♪ And when we're there ♪ ♪ We're going to see a ♪ (music stops) - [Wimee] Kitchen - [Siblee] Hi Wimee, I'm outside the commissary where Shakira's going to share with me how they prepare the food for the animals.

Let's go check it out!

(footsteps) - [Shakira] Hello, I'm Shakira and we are here at the zoo kitchen and this is where all of the animal food gets prepared for all the animals who eat every single day here at the zoo.

Some of our animals eat lots of fruits and veggies, like right now I'm working on preparing a salad for the spider monkeys.

And some of our animals also eat different types of food kind of like if you have a dog or a cat at home, they might have special dog food or special cat food.

But here at the zoo we have so many different kinds of animals that we also have special toucan food, special bear food, monkey food, all sorts of different foods that we can feed to our animals.

And some animals don't eat fruits or veggies and we take care of them, too.

We might have some meat or fish or other different things that we can share with our animals as well so that they can stay healthy and be happy every single day and well-fed.

(whoosh) (guitar strumming) So we have recipes for all of our animals we prepare things for.

So after we finish following the recipe, we have to measure everything out and cut it exactly how it's supposed to be cut with our cutting board and our knife.

And after we get all of our items, like apples, berries, bananas, and we make it all the way to the end of our recipe, then we're finished with our meal.

And then, we've got everything that we need in its own container.

So each animal, or each group of animals, sometimes they share their lunch or dinner, will have its own name tag.

So for instance, this one here is for Sammy, the chimp, and he has his own little container by himself because each of the chimps get their own little meal.

So I've got Sammy's name tag here and I'm gonna put that in there and close our container.

And that will be ready to go for Sammy.

And we've got a few more that are different sizes.

So Sammy has really big pieces and our little monkeys have little small pieces for them to have since they're a lot smaller than the chimpanzees.

We've got a few other options as well.

Here is Yogi Bear's diet all finished, and Yogi Bear is a bear so Yogi eats really big pieces.

And we have to make sure that they don't roll away because the bears have a hill that they live on and we don't want them to roll down the hill.

So we have to think about all those things before we finish making their meal.

And once they're finished and they're all packed up, then they get put into another big box and we deliver our big box to the zoo.

And then the animals receive all of their food for the day and then our zookeepers help to give them their breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

And that's the day at the zoo kitchen so we appreciate you visiting.

Bye!

Thanks Shakira for showing us about your kitchen.

All right friends, it is that time when we're going to check in with Siblee for Siblee's joke.

(children cheering) (whimsical sound) - Which animal rarely gets invited to play games?

- [Wimee] I don't know.

Which animal does rarely get invited to play games?

- The cheetah!

(laughs) Never pays to cheat.

(children cheering) (whimsical sound) - Yeah, that's good advice, Siblee.

Friends, let's take a deep breath.

Breathe in.

(inhales) Hold it.

Let it out.

(exhales) It's time for slowing down.

(soft guitar music) (music ends) Breathe in.

(inhales) Hold it.

And let it out.

(exhales) That zoo was just like the zoo I've got right here on my desk.

(laughs) All right friends, we, we love books.

It's time for Check Out This Book.

(intense rock music) (book closes) - Hola, Wimee.

Hi, friends.

Miss Mara here from the Ventura County Library.

I am so happy to be here with all of you today.

Wimee, I had such a hard time.

There are so many wonderful books about this week's theme, the zoo.

But at the end I decided to go with an informational book, otherwise known as a non-fiction picture book, and the title is What Do They Do With All That Poo?

Written by Jane Kurtz.

Illustrated by Allison Black.

And it was published by Simon and Schuster.

This was such a fun book to read.

Have you ever asked yourself that question?

What do they do with all that poo?

So at the beginning of our book they go over different names for poo.

My favorite one is scat.

And then they go over different animals and their poo.

Did you know that panda's poo does not smell?

Yeah, because they mainly eat bamboo.

How cool is that?

And then they go over to answering the question what do they do with all that poo?

Hmm.

(clicks tongue) My favorite, there's different answers, but my favorite was did you know that out of a certain animal at the zoo they can make paper?

Yes, you heard that correctly.

Paper.

Which one do you think?

Hmm.

Guess what?

I will let you find out when you visit your public library and check out this book.

See you next time!

(intense rock music) (book closes) - (laughs) That book's awesome.

I had no idea that panda's poo did not smell.

What about you cow?

I gotta pick you back up, cow.

Sorry about that.

And the snake and the lion.

Man, I love it.

Thanks friends.

Like zoo.

Can you find something with spots or stripes?

Animals sometimes have spots or stripes.

And can you find an animal, or a stuffed animal.

Friends, let's see what you can find.

Let's go to Lucy.

Lucy, what did you find?

- Wimee, I found a zebra.

A zebra.

Because it starts with a z.

And then I have an animal here that has stripes and then she makes me laugh, too.

Let me see, come on over.

Come on over.

- Oh, cool.

Let's see a close-up of that.

Can we zoom?

Put it right up to the camera.

Oh, that's awesome.

That looks great.

Zebra.

I love it, Nikel.

Nice.

All right friends, keep on looking.

What can you find?

Wait a minute, that was all three wasn't it Nikel?

Zebra with stripes and an animal.

(imitates bell dinging) Gotta make sure I got the full credit there for the trilogy.

(imitates bell dinging) Jim, what have you found?

- Well, you know what it just works out.

I've got a zipper on my shirt.

(Wimee gasps) A sweater, actually.

I've got stripes on my shirt.

I didn't even plan this.

And then I don't have a stuffed animal.

I have a stuffed Scribble Jim.

(Wimee laughs) This is the blonde variant version with the tags still on.

Collector's item.

It's worth a lot of money.

- Wow.

That's so cool.

- Yeah.

- [Wimee] (laughs) That counts.

Nice.

Friends have you found anything that starts with z or has spots or stripes or is an animal or a stuffed animal.

Zebra.

Indeed!

(imitates bell dinging) Turtle has spots.

Indeed.

Thanks, Grace.

Mm-hmm.

In fact, when we check in with the zoo later on down the year here they're gonna have an Eastern box turtle to share with us.

Oh man, so cool.

So cool.
