ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Too Many Pinecones? | Playful Adventures with Book Hungry Bears | 9 Story Kids
The book-hungry Bears are on a fun adventure looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there? Let’s find out!
Look at all these pinecones! Some are brown and spiky, some are green, and some are yellow. Crystal and her friends are collecting them. They are so beautiful! Crystal even has a collection now. Do you like collecting things too?
Uh-oh, the pinecones are rolling away! Crystal’s friends help her pick them up. It’s always nice to help friends, just like Tick and Tac help Ma Badger in the story.
It’s time for a story! Everyone gets close and comfy. The story is called “Laundry Day” by Jessica Bagley. Tick and Tac are bored, so Ma Badger asks them to help hang the laundry. They hang up shirts, socks, and even some silly things like toilet paper! What a funny story!
Crystal and her friends keep looking for books. They find a rooster! Roosters are birds with long tail feathers and a crown on their heads called a comb. They say “cock-a-doodle-doo” when the sun comes up!
The rooster isn’t “cock-a-doodle-dooing.” Maybe he needs some help. Crystal and her friends find a sunny spot for him. Sunflowers love the sun, so it’s perfect! The rooster just needed to get ready in his own way, just like Cassy in the bedtime story.
Another story begins! It’s called “It’s Time for Bed” by Sepa Ms and Jeremy Dii. Cassy has fun with her animal friends before bed. She dances with polar bears, runs with caribou, and flies with geese. Finally, she’s ready for bed. Good night, Cassy!
Crystal thinks the rooster has his own special way to get ready. He scratches his wings, shakes his tail feathers, and eats some corn. Then, he finally says “cock-a-doodle-doo!”
What a fun day with the Bears, stories, and the rooster! Do you have a special way to get ready for bed or start your day?
Pinecone Collection Exploration: Go on a nature walk with your family or friends and collect different types of pinecones. Once you have a collection, sort them by color, size, or texture. Discuss with your family or friends why some pinecones might be different from others. Can you find other natural items to collect, like leaves or rocks? How are they similar or different from the pinecones?
Rooster Role Play: Pretend to be a rooster getting ready to “cock-a-doodle-doo.” Think about what the rooster does to get ready, like scratching its wings or shaking its tail feathers. Create your own morning routine dance and perform it for your family. Ask them if they have a special way to start their day, just like the rooster.
Story Time Creations: After listening to the story “Laundry Day,” use some old clothes or fabric scraps to create your own funny laundry line. Hang up items like socks, shirts, and maybe some silly things like a toy or a drawing. Share your laundry line with your family and tell them a funny story about the items you chose. What other silly things could you hang up?

Here come the Bears! The book-hungry Bears are looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there?
This is the most interesting pinecone I’ve ever seen! It’s so brown and spiky. Wow, I’m going to keep it! Look at this one, Crystal! More pinecones! This one is really green, and this one is more yellow. Ooh, they’re so beautiful! I’m going to keep them both.
Here you go, Crystal. You don’t want to lose a pinecone from your collection. Thanks, Scout! Hey, I do have a collection, and a nice one too. Come on, let’s find a book!
I’m going to look for books over here. Whoops! Hey, another pinecone! Whoa, it’s really big! That’s an awesome pinecone, Boomer! Here, add it to your collection. Thank you!
Wow, look at all these pinecones! This one is so tiny and cute! Oh, Scout, I love it! And this one smells so good! I’m going to name you Little Piny. There you go, Little Piny! Have fun with your friends. Can you grab that one there, please? And that one too, and that one?
Sure, here you go! This is for you. Do we need all of these pinecones, Crystal? Yes, they’re all different. Oh my, my arms are full! Can you hold them for me? Sure, if you say so. Uh-oh, the pinecones are rolling away!
Who can help you, Crystal? I’ll take Little Piny. Okay, let’s keep looking!
Oh no, it didn’t see us! Follow that book! Careful, come on! Uh-oh! Whoa! Oh no, that’s okay, we’ll pick them up later.
Hello, book! Would you like to share your story? Yes! Story time! Is everyone close and comfy?
Let the story begin: “Laundry Day” by Jessica Bagley. That Badger has a shirt on his head.
“I’m bored,” said Tick. “Me too,” said Tac. “Why don’t you two read a book? You love to read,” said Ma Badger. “We read all our books,” said Tick. “Then we read them backwards,” said Tac.
“Wow, well how about building a fort?” asked Ma Badger. “We already made one,” said Tick. “Then we invaded it and it fell apart,” said Tac.
“Would you like to help me hang the laundry?” asked Ma Badger. “Laundry?” Tick asked, looking surprised. “We haven’t done that yet,” said Tac.
“Okay,” they chimed together, but they don’t know how to hang the laundry if they’ve never done it before. “I’ll bet Ma Badger knows! Let me show you how.”
“You’re right, Crystal! Take the wet clothes and sheets out of the basket, then take the clothespins and clip them on the line like this,” asked Tick. “Very good,” said Ma Badger. “Will you boys finish hanging the laundry for me while I go to the market?”
“Sure, Ma!” chirped Tick and Tac. Those brothers are good helpers, just like us when we picked up your pinecones, right, Crystal?
Yeah! Tick and Tac quickly went to work hanging every shirt, sock, sheet, and sweater that was in the basket. “That was fun, but we’re out of laundry already,” said Tick.
“I have an idea,” said Tac. “What are Tick and Tac going to do? Something fun, that’s for sure!”
Tick and Tac ran inside and each grabbed an apple barrel full of odds and ends from the house and started to hang them up. “This is great!” shouted Tick. “It sure is! What else is there?” asked Tac.
“Wait a minute, that’s not laundry!” They hung everything they could find that wasn’t nailed down. “Look, look, look! The young toilet paper on the clothesline!”
Those brothers just can’t stop, like you when you were collecting pinecones, Crystal. You’re right! I was like those brothers; I couldn’t stop!
“We’re really good at this,” said Tick proudly. “I’m pretty impressed myself,” said Tac. But just then, Ma came home from the market. “I wonder what Ma’s going to say?”
“Tick and Tac, what have you done?” she hollered. “Um, we hung up the laundry,” said Tick. “Uh, and a few other things,” said Tac.
“Well, I’m not sure how you did it,” said Ma Badger, “but you forgot a couple of things.”
“What did they forget?” “I’m bored,” said Tick. “Me too,” said Tac. “I wonder if Ma needs help with dinner.”
They forgot themselves! Ma Badger hung them on the laundry line! That’s so funny! That was such a silly story. Thank you, book!
Thanks! Great story! Hmm, maybe I don’t need all these pinecones. I’ll keep Little Piny for you, but what will we do with the rest of the pinecones?
I have an idea! That’s amazing! Little Piny loves it! Come on, Scout, let’s see what it looks like from up there!
What’s this? Ooh, pretty! Hey everyone, look at this amazing rock I found! Cool! Are you going to keep it, Crystal? Maybe. Uh-oh, not another Crystal collection! Just this one, I promise!
Good morning! We have the whole day to find books. There might be some over there! Ooh, let’s go! Books, books, looking for books to share! Could they be here? Could they be there?
Looking for books to share! See any books, Bo? Nope, not yet. Is it a book, Crystal? No, Melody, it’s a rooster!
What’s a rooster? A kind of bird. They have long tail feathers and a wavy crown on top of their head called a comb. See? And the best thing about roosters is they always “cock-a-doodle-doo” when the sun comes up in the morning!
Really? I like to yawn in the morning, and I like to stretch, and I like to boom! Does a “cock-a-doodle-doo” sound like a boom, Crystal?
No, Boomer, it sounds like this: “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” I want to try! “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” Wow, that’s fun to say!
And there’s the sun! Now here comes the “cock-a-doodle-doo!” Wait for it!
I think the rooster was just itchy after sleeping in a straw bed. Who’ll “cock-a-doodle-doo” now? I just know it!
Maybe the rooster needs some help. Then let’s help him! But how? One thing that makes a rooster “cock-a-doodle-doo” is the sun, so maybe we need to find a sunnier spot. Where can we find that?
I know where! I saw a super sunny spot on our walk! Right this way, rooster! Look, he likes it! I knew it would be extra sunny here because these flowers love the sun. That’s why they’re called sunflowers!
Good idea, Melody! Now can we hear your “cock-a-doodle-doo,” rooster, please?
Rooster? Maybe the rooster is shy. Sometimes I feel shy too, but you can do it! I know you can! Oh, maybe you’d feel more comfortable if I don’t watch. I’ll close my eyes.
Is he going to “cock-a-doodle-doo”? No, I don’t think so. He wasn’t shy, just thirsty! Maybe he forgot how to “cock-a-doodle-doo.”
Here, I’ll show you again, rooster! It’s like this! I think it’s working!
I don’t understand. He’s a rooster, and roosters always “cock-a-doodle-doo” when the sun comes up. Maybe this rooster is a “cock-a-doodle-don’t” kind of rooster, or maybe he just needs to eat first.
Let’s keep looking for books and come back later!
Book, book, books! Where are you?
Crystal, look! Books! Does one of you want to come down and share your story with us?
Yes! Story time! Is everyone close and comfy?
Let the story begin: “It’s Time for Bed” by Sepa Ms and Jeremy Dii, illustrated by Tim Mack.
Look at all the animals! I guess they’re going to bed too.
It’s time for bed; the sun has set. “Cassy, have you brushed your teeth yet?”
There’s the toothbrush, but why isn’t she brushing her teeth?
“No, I don’t want to brush my teeth! I want to dance with a polar bear!” Roar!
Oh, that’s why! She’s having too much fun with the polar bear!
“It’s time for bed; the sun has set. Cassy, have you put on your PJs yet?”
“No, I don’t want to put them on! I want to run with the caribou! Run, run, run!”
Cassy sure likes to have fun with her animal friends before she goes to bed.
“It’s time for bed; the sun has set. Cassy, have you put away all your toys yet?”
“No, I don’t want to put them away! I want to fly with the geese! Honk, honk, honk!”
I like to fly with the geese too! Honk, honk!
“It’s time for bed; the sun has set. Cassy, have you picked a good night story yet?”
“No, I don’t want to pick a story! I want to howl with the wolves!”
Cassy is getting ready for bed in her own way.
“It’s time for bed; the sun has set. You’ve danced with the polar bears, run with the caribou, flown with the geese, howled with the wolves. Cassy, are you ready for bed yet?”
I hope she’s ready for bed after all that fun!
“Yes, I’m ready for bed! What are you waiting for? Let’s go to bed!”
Finally, she’s in bed! She must be ready to sleep now.
Ah, that looks comfy! Good night, Cassy! Good night! Good night!
That was a great story and great animal sounds too!
Thank you! Goodbye!
Cassy had her own special way of getting ready for bed. Maybe the rooster has his own special way of getting ready to “cock-a-doodle-doo.”
What do you mean, Crystal?
Well, first he scratches one wing, then he scratches the other, and then he shakes his tail feathers. Oh, and then he has to drink some water and eat some corn, like this!
(Laughter) Look, he’s finished his breakfast! I wonder what else he does to get ready.
Let’s follow the rooster!
Okay! He walks to the barn and he scratches three times like this. Then he gets up really high. I think he’s ready now!
You did it! There’s the “cock-a-doodle-doo!” The rooster just needed to get ready in his own way!
“Cock-a-doodle-doo!” That was pretty good, rooster! But can you…
(Boom) Nice try, Bo!
