Hey there, little friend! Are you ready for a fun story about a monkey named Chico Bon Bon? Chico is not just any monkey; he has a special tool belt that helps him solve problems. Let’s see what adventure he and his friends go on today!
Chico Bon Bon is a monkey with a tool belt, and he has some awesome friends: Rainbow Thunder, Clark, and Tiny. Together, they are the Fix-It Force, and they love to help others. Today, they have a big challenge to solve!
It’s Clark’s birthday, and he’s having a great time with his friends. They are playing with a piñata and having lots of fun. But wait, there’s more! They hear about a concert by Elkin John, a famous piano player, at the top of a tall tower. Clark loves Elkin John, but he’s a little scared of high places.
Suddenly, the banana phone rings! It’s Elkin John, and he needs help. His piano can’t fit in the elevator to get to the top of the tower. Oh no! But don’t worry, Chico and the Fix-It Force are here to save the day!
Chico and his friends start thinking of ways to get the piano to the top. They try using a rocket, but it doesn’t work. They try floating it like a balloon, but that doesn’t work either. What will they do?
Chico has a great idea! They can use a pulley to pull the piano up to the top. A pulley is a special tool that helps lift heavy things. They find a long, strong velvet rope to use with the pulley. Clark is a little nervous, but he’s brave and helps with the plan.
With everyone working together, they use the pulley to lift the piano up, up, up to the top of the tower. Clark sings a happy song to feel brave, and soon enough, the piano is at the top, ready for the concert!
Thanks to Chico and his friends, Elkin John can play his concert, and Clark gets to be on stage with his favorite singer. It’s the best birthday ever for Clark, and everyone is so happy!
Chico Bon Bon and the Fix-It Force did an amazing job solving the piano problem. They showed us that with teamwork and a little bravery, we can solve any problem. Hooray for Chico and his friends!
And that’s the end of our fun adventure. Remember, you can be a problem solver just like Chico Bon Bon!
Build Your Own Pulley: Gather some simple materials like a spool, string, and a small basket or cup. With the help of an adult, create a basic pulley system. Try lifting small objects like toy cars or blocks using your pulley. How does it feel to lift the objects with and without the pulley? Talk about how Chico used a pulley to solve a problem and how you used yours.
Teamwork Challenge: Just like Chico and his friends, teamwork is important! Gather a few friends or family members and try to build a tall tower using blocks or cups. Work together to make it as tall as possible. What did you learn about working together? How did you solve any problems that came up while building?
Bravery Song: Clark sang a happy song to feel brave. Think of a time when you felt a little scared. What song would make you feel brave? Create your own bravery song or choose a favorite song that makes you feel strong. Share it with your friends or family and talk about how music can help us feel better.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Chico Bon Bon and the Musical Meltdown.
-[Rainbow Thunder] Yeah, Clark!
-[Clark] Here we go.
-[Rainbow Thunder] That’s it!
-[laughs] I’ll get it this time. [grunts]
-[Clark laughs]
-Whoa! Almost got it!
♪ Piñata, where are you? ♪
Oh! Sorry lamp, whoopsies. [chuckles]
Clark, the piñata’s over here.
Come on, birthday boy.
Ooh!
-[Chico] Happy birthday!
I got it! I got it!
Ooh, peanuts!
Ooh, this is the best birthday… ever!
Well, it’s about to get even better!
Tiny… [drum roll]
Neil Ostrich reporting live from the top of Blunderburg Tower,
where the piano man Elkin John will soon play a concert for his dear fans.
Elkin John! I love Elkin John!
He’s my favorite singer of all time!
Well, what do you say, Clark?
Want to go see Elkin John perform live at the very top of Blunderburg Tower?
Of course I do!
But… Blunderburg Tower?
[whispering] Chico, Clark’s scared of high places.
What? I thought he was scared of low places.
I’m actually kind of scared of all places,
but especially high places!
Oh, I could never go to the top of Blunderburg Tower.
Aw, that’s okay, Clark.
We can just watch the concert on TV.
[alarm blares]
The banana phone!
[action music playing]
Chico Bon Bon!
You got a problem? We can solve ‘em!
Hello, hello there, I’m Sir Elkin John.
Oh, man! Elkin John! [sighs]
My show’s about to begin and I’ve got a major piano problem.
-Can you help me, Chico Bon Bon?
-[piano playing]
Sir Elkin, you’ve reached the right monkey business.
There’s no piano problem we can’t solve.
Fix-It Force, time to bring the awesome!
[kids] Chico Bon Bon! Rainbow Thunder! Clark! Tiny!
[action music playing]
Whoa! [grunts]
Whoa!
[robot] Tool Force One activated.
[wheels squeal]
[Rainbow Thunder]
Blunderburg Tower straight ahead.
Wow, look at all the fans here to see Elkin!
That’s gotta be the longest velvet rope I’ve ever seen.
[Rainbow Thunder]
Sir Elkin should be around back.
I’m Chico Bon Bon, monkey with a tool belt.
And we’re the Fix-It Force.
And you’re… [gasps] Elkin John!
Oh, I’m Clark, your number one biggest fan!
Love the entrance, gang!
And you’re just in time.
I need to get my precious piano to the top of the tower for the show.
But it won’t fit in the elevator.
[dings]
♪ Can you lend me a hand, oh
With my piano? ♪
♪ Oh, yes, we can, oh ♪
Fix-It Force, we’ve got to find a way to get this up there.
Whip out your umbrellas.
It’s time for a brainstorm.
Okay, what have we got, people?
-Rockets.
-Go on.
Rockets go fast.
-Yes.
-Rockets go high.
Ooh, tell me more.
-Rockets are…
-[all] Awesome!
We attach the piano to a rainbow rocket and ka-pow, blast it up!
Ha! Love it!
♪ I really like your rocket plan ♪
Pow pow meow!
♪ Whoa ♪
It’s working!
Whoa!
[screaming]
-It’s not working.
-On it.
♪ Ah ♪
Phew!
Hmm. Perhaps this calls for a more gentle approach.
♪ And I kind of think that I’m rising up
Like a balloon in the wind ♪
♪ Like a balloon in the wind ♪
I think I know just what we need.
[Chico] A giant ramp!
All we have to do is push the piano up!
♪ Yeah, they’re pushing me up
Pushing me up ♪
♪ Pushing me right up to the top ♪
♪ Now I’m sliding back down
Sliding back down ♪
♪ Sliding back down to the bottom ♪
Oh! It’s too steep!
With no way to get Elkin’s piano to the top of Blunderburg Tower,
will the concert have to be canceled?
No!
[plays off key notes]
Don’t worry, Sir Elkin, sir.
We’ll think of something.
-Won’t we?
-Chico, what do we do now?
Well, we– Maybe we could, uh, uh–
Maybe it’s time for a banana break.
[ding]
[Chico] Come on, Chico, you can solve this problem.
-We couldn’t launch the piano to the top.
-[buzzer]
-We couldn’t float it.
-[buzzer]
-We couldn’t push it.
-[buzzer]
But maybe we can pull it.
-Pull it, just like Clark’s piñata!
-[ding]
Blazing bananas, that’s it!
We can pull the piano to the top!
How are we going to do that?
With the wheel thingy!
Uh, it’s called a pulley, Chico,
and it’s a great tool for pulling heavy things up.
-Like my piñata!
-Or Elkin’s piano.
Oh, a piano pulley.
♪ I love it ♪
Hmm. Now, to engineer it, we’re going to need some kind of roping material
that’s long enough to reach up to the top of the tower.
Uh-ha, you know I never leave the lab without my super stunt yarn.
Too weak. It needs to lift a piano.
-[Chico] A shoelace?
-Too short.
-Duct tape?
-Too sticky.
-My spaghetti lunch?
-Too stretchy.
Whoa! Oh!
Uh. And too sticky.
Oh, Chico, where will we find something
long enough and strong enough to lift a piano?
Oh. Clark, you’re sitting on it!
Oh, you mean this peanut lollipop?
Now, how’d that get there?
No, not the peanut lollipop,
the velvet rope!
It’s super long and it can support
the weight of a full-grown elephant.
[chuckles] I guess it is pretty strong.
-Now, let’s build a wheelie thingy.
-It’s a pulley!
A piano pulley!
Right, let’s design a piano pulley!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Sir Elkin has never missed a show before.
Will this be the first?
Two minutes to show time, gang.
Which means, it’s go time!
Okay, Tiny!
[action music playing]
Oh, peanuts! It’s too short.
♪ Oh, we are running out of time ♪
Clark, if you hold onto the piano
and grab the velvet rope with your trunk,
you can fill the gap.
You’re long enough and strong enough!
But it’s going all the way up there,
and I’m afraid of up there.
Don’t worry, mate.
I’ll be right up there with you.
Well…
[both chanting] Clark!
♪ Clark ♪
Okay, I’ll do it!
For Elkin.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Chico] Good job, Clark!
All right, Fix-It Force,
time to bring the awesome.
Hit it, Rainbow!
Hang on to your whiskers.
This pulley’s going up.
[grunts]
Time for a glitter blast. Pow pow meow!
[Clark] Whoa!
Keep it up, Rainbow. It’s working!
You’re brave, Clark.
Oh, no, don’t look down.
You know, Clarky boy, whenever I’m feeling scared,
I like to sing me a little tune.
♪ Raise me up now mighty pulley
Lift me high up off the ground ♪
♪ Wheel goes round as I move skyward
Spinning round and round ♪
♪ Heading right up to the clouds ♪
♪ Raise me up now mighty pulley
Flying high without a fear ♪
♪ In the sky we sing together
Crowd begins to cheer ♪
♪ Yeah, it’s music to my ears ♪
Hello, Blunderburg!
We made it to the top!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
All right, Clark!
I’m on stage with Elkin John!
This is the best birthday ever!
Let’s hear it for Clark!
The super brave birthday boy.
And a big thanks to Chico and the gang
for solving my piano problem.
Ladies and gentlemen, with the help
of this incredible wheel thingy…
Pulley!…
Chico Bon Bon and the Fix-It Force
have saved the day again.
And I must say,
when I hear a song this rocking,
it makes me want to shake my tail feather!
Well, what you waiting for, Neil?
Shake that thing.
-Whoa! [laughing]
-Uh-uh!
Watch the hips.
Oh! [laughs]
