Welcome to Birthday Cake Mountain! Meet Giddyup, the best cake-baking horse ever! We are so excited because we picked up all of Grandma’s friends, and soon we will sing a special birthday song for Grandma!
Oh no! Our bus-copter is stuck in sticky frosting! We need to push it out. Everyone, let’s count together: one, two, three, push! But it won’t move! What can we do to get to Grandma’s birthday party?
We need some help! Guess what? Milk can make frosting unsticky. And today, the weather says it’s going to rain milk! Hooray! The milk rain is melting the frosting, and now we can go to Old West Color Street for Grandma’s party!
We’re almost there, but oh no! Our horn isn’t playing the birthday song. How can we have a party without a song? But wait, we can sing it ourselves!
Let’s all sing a big birthday song for Grandma! Ready? ♪ Happy birthday, Grandma, we love you! ♪ ♪ Happy, happy, happy birthday! ♪
What a wonderful birthday! Now it’s time for some yummy cake. Happy birthday, Grandma!
Sticky Experiment: Let’s explore how milk can make things less sticky! At home, with the help of an adult, try this simple experiment. Take a small piece of bread and spread a little bit of sticky frosting on it. Now, pour a tiny amount of milk over the frosting and watch what happens. Does the frosting become less sticky? Talk about what you see and why you think milk helps. Remember to clean up after your experiment!
Birthday Song Practice: Practice singing the birthday song just like in the story. Gather your family or friends and sing the birthday song together. Try singing it in different ways: fast, slow, loud, and soft. How does it feel to sing in different ways? Which way do you like best? You can even make up your own birthday song with new words!
Observation Walk: Go on a short walk with an adult and look for things that might be sticky, like tree sap or mud. Talk about what makes them sticky and how you might make them less sticky, just like the milk helped in the story. Can you think of other liquids that might help? Share your ideas with your family!

This stop, Birthday Cake Mountain. Hi, Giddyup, old friend. Who’s the best cake-baking horse ever? That’s right, it’s you! Hello, horsey. I’m so excited! We picked up all of Grandma’s friends, and soon we get to play Grandma the birthday song!
♪ Happy birthday! ♪ It’s not a birthday party without a birthday song. Next and final stop… Old West Color Street! For Grandma’s party! Huh? That doesn’t sound right. We’re stuck! In frosting!
Uh-oh! Well, looks like we’re going to have to push. Charlie, push, push! Attention, all friends, I’m going to need you to remain seated. Okay, on the count of three. One, two, three! Push! It won’t move! Oh no! If we can’t get our bus-copter unstuck from the frosting, I can’t drive us to Grandma’s birthday party! Our story’s getting stickier! What happens next, storyteller? How can we unstick our bus-copter?
Uh-oh, empty! More milk, please! Milk? Sunny skies, Charlie! Milk makes frosting unsticky! Good thing today’s weather forecast calls for… milk rain! Thank you!
It’s working! The frosting melted! Next and finally final stop, Old West Color Street! For Grandma’s birthday party! Stick with us! Whoa! We’re on our way! Ooh, a birthday bus-copter! Hop on board, Grandma! Let’s go for a ride! It’s time for your party, starting with… the birthday song!
Oh no! Something is wrong! Our horn isn’t playing! The birthday horn is… missing! No birthday? It’s not a birthday party without a birthday song! Is this how our story ends? With no song for Grandma? Not if we’re the ones telling this story!
It’s time for something big to happen! Like a big birthday song that we all sing and play together? Yes, yes, yes! The horn can’t play the song, but we can! We can do it! Happy birthday!
♪ Color me happy birthday! ♪ ♪ Happy birthday, Grandma, we love you! ♪ Yeah, we do! ♪ Happy, happy, happy, happy birthday! ♪ Oh, how wonderful! Now, how about some cake? Happy birthday! What a lovely birthday!
