Episodes
Always Take the Weather with You
Monkey wakes up as he has every other morning, although this morning is not like every other morning. Snow blankets the landscape, something monkey has never seen before.
You Give Me Fever
For Bee, collecting pollen when you happen to be allergic to it is not the easiest task in the world. But try he does and sneeze he does, often.
I Want to Break Free
Tortoise has been lugging his shell around for a long time now, his whole life in fact, and he resents this clumsy heavy thing, so he breaks free. But when an eagle soars overhead, the race is on for Tortoise to get back in his shell.
Because I Got High
Giraffe becomes unsure that being high up is the safest thing for him and eventually decides it would be better if he were to come down to earth and stay there, moving along caterpillar-like with dexterous movements of his neck. This is fine for a while until those juiciest fruits on the tops of the tallest trees start to become irresistible!
Born to Be Wild
As timing would have it, all of Mother Ostrich's eggs decide now is the time to break free and she has a rather hair raising time trying to contain her four escapees.
Stuck on You
In the process of trying to shake the leaf embedded on his spikes, Hedgehog ends up rolling over a whole lot more leaves and looking suspiciously like a bush.
Shout, Shout, Let It All Out
Frog's croak decides to hop it and leave him speechless, literally. After sampling a number of other voices Frog decides this is not fun so tries to catch up with his runaway croak.
And So the Feeling Grows
Ant stumbles across a strange liquid, drinks it and shrinks. He finds his way to a different liquid, drinks it and grows. He hiccups and shrinks again, he hiccups and grows again, oh what a predicament.
Moondance
Giraffe is happily enjoying his night time stroll when he bumps his head on the moon and knocks it from the sky. In the clumsy process of trying to fix it, he creates more stars through a magical fusion of moonlight and dandelion seeds.
Yes We Have No Bananas
Bananas are any monkey's delight. But not all monkeys would go to the lengths that our monkey does when a chasm separates him from his favourite food. Oh what's a hungry monkey to do?
I've Looked at Clouds from Both Sides
"All work and no play" is a phrase that definitely does not apply to our bee! He uses a petal of his flower as a springboard and has a ball leaping high into the air... too high as he finds himself embedded in a cloud above where he discovers what clouds are really made of and gets further distracted from his work!
I've Got You Under My Skin
Tortoise walks along casually, when a dandelion seed gets blown into his shell. This is a rather distressing thing to happen to tortoise as scratching within his shell is not the easiest thing in the world for him to do.
Love Is in the Air
As Monkey sleeps his tail is alert, has a look around, spots a vine hanging in a tree a little way off and instantly falls in love with it. Tail proceeds to drag Monkey around as it tries to reach the vine.
