Mrs Pufferbang's Balloony Beach Bonanza Grandpa In My Pocket

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

Come down, Grandpa!

Ha-ha!

JOSH: 'There are always brilliant things going on in Sunnysands.

'Either at the beach, or the cafe, or at Mr Whoops's shop.

'And of course here we get to meet some really fun guests.'

-So, you go puffa, puffa, puffa, puff.

-'Like this one.'

ELSIE: 'We'd never seen so many balloons in our life.'

'And that's because she was a balloon modelling lady.'

-'And her name was Mrs Pufferbang.'

-It's a dog!

Mrs Pufferbang, that was tremendous!

I might take up balloon modelling as my new hobby.

Oh, you must have a try! Here.

'And she handed Auntie Jules her pump.'

Oh, fiddly-foo! I've run out. I've run out of balloons to blow up!

'This was a disaster, because Mrs Pufferbang had come to Sunnysands

'to do a big balloon modelling day on the beach.'

'Yes, this was the day of...'

Now, calm down, Mrs Pufferbang, we go to Mr Whoops's shop

and we get some more balloons. Simple!

Oh, what would I do without you? Come on, hurry, quick.

Elsie, grab the pump. Come on, quick!

Now, where are the keys to Campo?

Mrs Pufferbang went running out in a panic just now with Elsie.

She's run out of balloons, we're going to Mr Whoops's shop.

Are we? Jolly good. I love it in Mr Whoops's shop.

No, Grandpa, you have a little lie down.

Then you won't be too tired for all the balloon fun on the beach later.

Here they are. Come along, Josh.

You know what Mr Whoops is like, he's sure to have little accidents.

Mrs Pufferbang is bound to need my help.

Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

Catch me if you can!

'When Grandpa shrinks, his magic can make things go.

-'Like my cousin Jason's plane.

-'And our Sunnysands train.

'And he can even make Elsie's Mrs Ostrich fly. Which is really clever,

'because ostriches don't fly, actually.

'But today, Grandpa wasn't going to travel by ostrich,

'he was coming with us, in my pocket.

'So, over we went in Campo to Mr Whoops's shop,

-'and Mrs Pufferbang said:'

-What if Mr Whoops doesn't have any balloons?

'And Auntie Jules said:'

Oh, Mr Whoops's shop is the best shop in the world.

-He's sure to have balloons.

-'And she was right.'

Puffa, puffa, puffa, puffa, puffa, puff!

More balloons, please, Elsie, in the store room!

'Grandpa jumped out of my pocket and was watching.'

So, you twist it here, twizzle it there and ta-da!

'Grandpa had been right, Mr Whoops was going to have a little accident.'

You have a go, Mr Whoops.

Oh, Mr Whoops! You've bust your crown. Never mind.

-Plenty more where that came from.

-Oh, how could I be so clumsy?

It's squished. You've squished my pump.

-I can't puffa, puffa puff with a squished pump.

-I'm so sorry.

I may have another pump somewhere.

-'And Mr Whoops tried to find another pump.'

-I'm so sorry.

-I'm right out of pumps.

-Oh, no!

-More balloons!

-More balloons? What's the point of more balloons

-if I've got nothing to blow them up with?

-Now, don't panic.

What we do is we get into Campo and go to the lighthouse

-and ask Mr Mentor the Inventor to invent us a pump!

-Brilliant idea.

What would I do without you?

Come on, quick, quick!

'But Grandpa did not think this was a brilliant idea.'

I'm so, so sorry. This is all my fault.

'While Auntie Jules tried to comfort Mr Whoops,

'I managed to talk to Grandpa.' What are we going to do?

Mr Mentor's inventions never work without your help.

Quite. I've got to get to the lighthouse.

I'll go in Auntie Jules's bag.

Mr Whoops, you can entertain Josh and Elsie,

I'll pick them up later. I'm going to the lighthouse and the beach.

'Grandpa was just about to get into her bag when she grabbed it!'

-Oh, bother.

-I can't believe I don't have another pump.

Maybe there's one out the back!

'Mr Whoops went out the back to see if he could find one.

'Grandpa beckoned to us. He had a plan.'

Pass me a balloon, Elsie. It's the only way.

'So, Elsie passed him a balloon, and Grandpa said:'

I'll be back as soon as I've helped with Mrs Pufferbang's pump.

'And with that, he set off on the balloon to go to the lighthouse.'

'Now, Mr Mentor had been hard at work.'

There you are, Mrs Pufferbang. A huffity, puffity, puffity pump!

Now, your balloon goes on just here, and we push this lever

-up and down to make it pump up.

-You are an amazing inventor, Mr Mentor.

Well, though I say it myself,

Mrs Pufferbang, I am a little bit remarkabobble.

'Mr Mentor doesn't just invent things, he invents words too.'

'While they weren't looking, Grandpa flew in on the balloon and landed.'

It's time to test our huffity, puffity, puffity pump.

'But then, this happened...' BANG!

Oh, my goodness!

I didn't know I had a balloon.

Now I can't fly back to the toy shop.

A balloon, please, Mrs Pufferbang.

'So, Mrs Pufferbang handed him a balloon.

'But when he tried to blow the balloon up, the lever was stuck!'

It's stuck. The lever is stuck.

It won't huffity, puffity, puff if it's stuck.

It isn't working. This is disastrous.

There will be no balloony fun at the beach.

No, no, patience, Mrs Pufferbang.

My inventions don't always work straightaway.

They need a bit of time to think about it.

'Grandpa decided to get inside the invention to mend the lever.'

Try again. Try again, for goodness' sake!

-'And Mr Mentor tried again and...'

-It works!

'But then something terrible happened.

'Grandpa was huffity, puffity, puffed into the balloon!'

A triumph! You truly are remarkable.

Now, you shall have a crown, Mr Mentor.

'While Mrs Pufferbang made Mr Mentor a crown,

'Grandpa had to find a way to get out of the balloon.

'There was only one thing for it.

'He rolled it towards Mr Mentor's foot and stood at the knotty

'end of the balloon with his fingers in his ears.'

I love it, it's spectacular!

'Mr Mentor jumped up and down all excited and then this happened!

'Clever Grandpa wasn't hurt. He ran as fast as he could.

'But the only way to get out of the lighthouse was with Mrs Pufferbang.

'So he jumped into the balloon bag.'

Thank you so much, Mr Mentor.

Now, I must go to the beach

and set up your remarkable huffity, puffity, puffity pump.

'Mrs Pufferbang picked up her bag and the pump and off she went.

'Back at the toy shop, Mr Whoops was showing us a puzzle.'

Find the corner first, I always say.

'We didn't really want to look at his puzzle.

'Partly because we don't like puzzles.

'But also because we were both really worried about Grandpa.

-'But then Mr Whoops did this.'

-How can I be so clumsy?

I hope Grandpa gets back before Auntie Jules arrives.

We can't go home without him.

'At the beach, Auntie Jules had been helping to set things up.'

'Just then, Mrs Pufferbang arrived.'

Oh, this is the perfect place for balloony beach fun.

-And is that a new invention I see?

-It is.

This is the huffity, fuffity, puffity pump.

Mr Mentor is remarkabubble. I must get pumping straightaway.

'Now was Grandpa's chance to get out of her bag and into Auntie Jules's.'

I'm off to get Josh and Elsie and pick up Grandpa from the Mill.

He's been having a little lie down so he's all fresh

for the balloony fun. See you later.

'At the toy shop, we were still looking out for Grandpa.

-'But Auntie Jules came back first!'

-I'm back. The beach looks wonderful.

Mr Mentor has made a pump.

'Where was Grandpa?'

Come along, let's get back to the Mill and get Grandpa.

-I'll see you all there.

-'Disaster!'

'We couldn't leave the toy shop until Grandpa was found.'

-Can't we stay here and finish this?

-Yes, I love this.

-Oh, you've never liked puzzles, Elsie.

-But I love this one.

Please can I stay, Auntie Jules, please, please?

'While Elsie pleaded with Auntie Jules, I suddenly saw this!

'Grandpa was safe, it was fine to go home.'

No, Elsie, let's go, or we'll miss all the fun at the beach.

But, please can I stay? Please can I stay...

OK, let's go!

Bye-bye.

'So, off we went, back to the Mill on the Marsh,

'with Grandpa safe in Auntie Jules's bag.'

-I'll wake Grandpa.

-Wait!

Can we load all of the balloon animals in Campo first,

-so we don't forget them?

-All right, Josh, come on.

'That was a brilliant idea,

'and it meant I could get Grandpa out of the bag.

'I picked him up, put him down on the floor and said,

"Cap off, Grandpa".

-We did it, Grandpa! We got Mrs Pufferbang to the beach!

-We did!

-And what we call it?

-ALL: Teamwork!

-You're up. Are you all fresh for the balloony fun?

-I am, I'm fresh.

-I bet it's ages since you've played with a balloon.

-It is. Ages!

ALL: Teamwork!
