.

Hey, Abadas!

ALL: Hello, Ben! Come and play with us and...

# We'll have a...

# Abadaba shoobedowah Abadaba play today!

# Abadaba shoobedowah Abadaba play today!

I wonder where they're playing today.

They're in the house!

# And a quack-quack here And a quack-quack there

# Here a quack, there a quack Everywhere a quack-quack. #

Hello, Hari. Are you enjoying your bath?

Oh, yes! But I can't find Quack.

-Maybe he's under the water.

-Oh, let's see!

# La, la, la! #

Where's Hari?

There's water in the bath. And bubbles.

But there's no one there.

Oh! Lovely and warm.

-He, he, he!

-Oh!

THEY LAUGH

-We found Hari!

-Where?

-There!

THEY LAUGH

Hello!

And I found Quack!

THEY LAUGH

Bath time is fun, but I know something else that's fun, too.

It's your favourite.

ALL: It's the word game! Come and play with us!

# You opened up the book and found us three!

# It's time to play the word game You and me!

# Listen to the word Then spot and see

# Match the words and objects Help us three!

# Let's play! #

Ready?

I've got a brand-new Abada word

and you have to guess what it looks like.

The word is...starfish.

Star fish.

It sounds like a very special fish.

Is it a fish?

No, but it is alive.

ALL: Oh! But what does it look like?

-Would you like a clue?

-ALL: Oh, yes, please, Ben!

A starfish is shaped like a star.

Look! I'm a star twinkling in the sky.

-Does it look like me?

-Mmm... Not really.

-Would you like another clue?

-ALL: Oh, yes, please, Ben!

-A starfish lives in salty water.

-ALL: Oh!

So, where would you find it?

In the mountains?

Lots of creatures live up there.

Is the water salty in the mountains?

I don't know!

How do you know if the water is salty?

You can taste it. It tastes like salt.

Oh, no! Mountain water isn't salty.

And the water in the garden pond isn't salty either.

But the sea tastes salty!

-Well done!

-ALL: Yay! Go, go, Abadas!

The Abadas think that they will find the starfish in the sea.

But which Abada would be the best one to find the starfish?

# My name is Seren I can fly up high

# Up past the trees and towards the sky

# I hang topsy-turvy in the night and day

# Fly right down when it's time to play!

# My name is Hari, I like to swim

# I dive down deep, I see everything

# That lives in the seabed

# Or on the shore!

# Swimming and playing is what I adore!

# My name is Ela with a special nose

# Where it will lead me, nobody knows

# I can smell all the things that you can't always see!

# I love my nose, it's a part of me

# Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way!

# Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-way! #

MUSIC STOPS

-ALL: Hari!

-Hari should go.

-Me?

-You love finding new creatures in the sea.

-Good choice, Abadas.

Hari, who can swim in the sea, is the best Abada to find the starfish.

With a dash and a bump, look at me jump!

-Let's play!

-Whoa!

-Ha, ha, ha!

-TOOT

-Whoa!

Mmm...

Keep going!

Aba-dooby-dee!

Weeee!

-HE LAUGHS

-I'm at the seaside.

Splash!

HE LAUGHS

Yippee!

I can taste the salty water! Mmm...

Starfish, starfish. What looks like a star?

# Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are. #

-Does it twinkle like the stars in the sky?

-No, it doesn't.

That looks a bit like a star.

It's beautiful! Is this a starfish, Ben?

No, that's a seashell called a conch.

-A little creature lives in there.

-Does it? Anyone home? Hello!

Oooh!

You're a very pretty conch, but I need to find a starfish.

Oh! Look at all the lovely colours.

And all the different shapes!

-But no star shape.

-That's coral, Hari.

-Coral?

-It's alive, but it doesn't move around like a starfish.

Can a starfish swim like me?

No, it moves along the seabed very, very slowly.

Hello, little fishy. You move around, too!

But you're very, very fast.

Where are you, fishy wishy?

Hari, you're looking for the starfish, remember?

Hari's hip-hip and away!

Oops!

-HE LAUGHS

-Ah!

Who are you?

That tickles! Wow, you're beautiful!

What a lovely pattern! And you're shaped like a star!

-Is this the starfish?

-Yes, it is.

-Yippee! I found the starfish.

I can't wait to tell Ela and Seren all about you!

# I found a word It was there all along

# The word is...starfish!

# And now that word is in my song

# Ba-ba! Shoodoo-wa! #

Boing, boing, boing!

HE LAUGHS

Neyow!

You'll never catch me! I'm back in the book!

Hari, you're back!

Hari the happy traveller is back!

First, I found a seashell called a conch.

It had a little creature living inside it.

What did the creature look like?

I don't know, it was too shy to come out.

What are you doing?

Hiding, because I'm shy, too.

THEY LAUGH

-Then I saw something really pretty.

-Oh! What was it?

Coral! In lots of different colours. Purple like Seren.

SHE LAUGHS

Blue like me.

-And orange like Ela.

-Weee!

And then I saw something moving under a rock.

BOTH: Oooh!

It's arm was sticking out, so I touched it.

Oh! What happened?

It disappeared! Then it came out again.

What did it look like?

-A star!

-It was the starfish!

-Yes!

-BOTH: Yippee!

-There it is!

-BOTH: Wow! You're cool!

-It looks like my belly!

-Thanks for finding such a fur-tastic word, Hari.

You're a star!

-You really are.

-Thank you.

-And Ela and Seren are, too.

-Yippee!

-Yoo-hoo!

You're all amazing, Abadas. It's time for me to go now.

We had fun today, didn't we?

ALL: Oh, yes, we did!

-Weee!

-Aba-dooby-dee!

# It's time to say goodbye It was great to play

# Shoodoo-up-up! Shoodoo-up-up!

# Come back and see us once again some day

# Abadas, we're Abadas

# Some day! #

THEY LAUGH

-Goodbye, Hari.

-Goodbye!

-Goodbye, Seren.

-Goodbye!

-Goodbye, Ela.

-Bye-bye!

See you soon!

'Ben!'
