ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Book Hungry Bears – Melody’s Look-For-A-Book Stick (Full Episode) | Videos for Kids
Hi there! We are the Book Hungry Bears, and we love finding books with fun stories to share. Do you want to join us on our adventure to find some books? Let’s go!
We have special sticks called “Look for a Book” sticks. They help us find books! Melody is leading the way with her stick. She even found extra sticks for Scout, Boomer, and Crystal. Now, we all have one!
Let’s use our sticks to make some noise and see if the books can hear us. Ready? Bang your sticks and sing along!
Books, books, looking for books,
Looking for books to share.
Oh no, we can’t see any books yet. Maybe they’re playing hide and seek with us! Let’s use our sticks to tickle them out of their hiding spots. Ready or not, books, here we come!
Look, Boomer found a flag! If we wave our flags, maybe the books will come out. Let’s try it together!
Wave your flag, wave it high,
We’ll find books if we try.
Oops, Melody’s stick broke! But don’t worry, we can still have fun. Let’s share and keep looking for books together.
Hooray! We found a book! It’s time for story time. Gather around and get comfy. The book is called “No Matter What, Friend” by Carrie Lynn Winters, with pictures by Pierre Pratt. It’s about a dog and his friend. Let’s see what happens!
The story shows us how the dog and the boy have been friends for a long time. They play together and share happy moments, just like us!
Even though the dog is older now, they are still best friends. They might not play ball like they used to, but they can find new games to enjoy together. Just like us, they are “no matter what” friends!
Melody has a great idea! Even with a broken stick, we can still have fun. Let’s use our sticks as drumsticks and make music together. We can be the Look for a Book band!
Play your stick fast and slow,
Join the band, here we go!
Play your stick fast and slow,
Join the band, here we go!
Thanks for joining us on our book adventure. We had so much fun, and we hope you did too. Remember, books are always waiting for you to find them and enjoy their stories!
Book Hunt at Home: Ask a grown-up to hide some of your favorite books around the house. Use a stick or a pretend magic wand to find them, just like the Book Hungry Bears! Once you find a book, share a fun fact or your favorite part of the story with your family.
Create Your Own Flag: Make a flag using paper, crayons, and a stick. Decorate it with your favorite book characters or scenes. Once your flag is ready, wave it around and sing the Flag Waving Song. Imagine you’re calling out to all the books to come and play with you!
Friendship Story Time: Think about your best friend or a pet you love. Draw a picture of you both doing something fun together. Share your drawing with the class and tell a short story about why you are “no matter what” friends, just like the dog and the boy in the story.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

[Music]
We are the Bears, the Book Hungry Bears,
Looking for books with stories to share.
Oh, come on everybody, this way,
Over here, follow the stick.
See any books, Melody?
Not yet, Crystal, but my Look for a Book stick will find them.
Wow, that’s amazing! I wish I had a Look for a Book stick.
This way, closer.
We’re getting closer.
Uh-huh. Did you find a book, Melody?
Nope, I found three more Look for a Book sticks—
One for you, Scout, one for you, Boomer, and one for you, Crystal.
Uh, this is an interesting way to look for books,
But it’s worth a try.
How do they work?
Any way we want!
Okay, let’s bang our sticks so the books will hear us.
[Music]
Books, books, looking for books,
Looking for books to share.
[Applause]
Huh, no books.
Maybe the books are hiding in the bushes,
Hiding like in hide and seek.
Yes, and they want us to find them.
Oh, let’s use our sticks to tickle them out.
Ready or not, books, here we come!
Take a tickle!
Books, we’re coming to find you!
Hello? Any books in there?
Books are really good hiders.
Look, I have a flag!
Oh, I love flags!
I want a flag too, Boomer!
Perfect!
If we wave our flags, maybe the books will come.
Okay, sure, ready?
[Music]
Wave your flag, wave it high,
We’ll find books if we try.
[Music]
Oh no, my stick!
My Look for a Book stick is totally broken.
That’s too bad, Melody.
Yeah, we were having so much fun.
You can share mine.
Thanks, Scout, but we all need our own Look for a Book sticks.
That’s how it works.
Guess I just can’t play anymore.
[Music]
Huh, a book!
Look everyone, a book!
We are so glad you came.
Would you like to tell us your story?
[Music]
Yes, story time!
[Music]
Is everyone close and comfy?
Close!
No matter what, friend, by Carrie Lynn Winters,
Illustrations by Pierre Pratt.
It’s about a dog. I love dogs!
And friends, they’re playing ball together.
Yeah, the dog’s going to play too.
I bet he’ll chase that ball all over the place.
Old dog, sleepy dog.
Oh, maybe the dog isn’t going to chase the ball.
What do you see when you lift your lazy lids and look at me?
Do you see me and think, “That’s my boy”?
Do you watch me and wonder, “Wasn’t that my toy?”
Oh look, that’s when the boy was a baby and the dog was a puppy,
And the ball was the dog’s toy.
Oh, pictures!
There they are at the beach,
And that’s a birthday party. See the cake?
Oh yum!
Do you wish that things were like they used to be?
[Music]
And no matter what, you were there for me.
Wow, they sure are good friends, just like us!
[Music]
Want to run with me now?
Come here, bud, come on, come and play!
See? Now they’re going to play ball.
Boomer, I don’t know.
The dog is older now.
See the wrinkles around his eyes?
He looks tired.
Now wait, bud!
Stop!
Stay!
Is he going to leave his dog behind?
Looks like he might go play ball with his friends.
[Music]
Old dog, sweet dog.
I hope that you see, and no matter what, friend,
When you look at me, he stayed.
They’re friends forever.
What a nice story!
Thank you!
Thanks, bye!
Thank you!
I knew he’d stay with his dog. Me too!
They’re no matter what friends, just like us.
But what are they going to do if they can’t play ball?
I guess they’ll just have to play something else.
Play something else?
I have an idea!
[Music]
Maybe I can still play with my stick, even if it is broken.
I can use them like drumsticks!
We can be the Look for a Book band!
I want to be a drummer too, like you, Melody!
One, two, three, four!
Play your stick fast and slow,
Join the band, here we go!
Play your stick fast and slow,
Join the band, here we go!
Play your stick fast and slow,
Join the band, here we go!
[Laughter]
You!
