# Wren loves her flapping and she likes to sing away

# Noa's really sensitive

# Draff's got so much to say

# Tang has lots of energy

# Mouse loves quiet play

# Llama likes repeating things

# And I draw all the pictures in

# When we all get together and the fun begins

# Fun begins

# Fun begins

Woohoo!

RATTLING

Nearly ready, Pablo.

I just need to sort my bag out and then we can go.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm...

I don't mean to be rude, Noasaurus,

but you're being very shaky today.

I know, Draff, but very confusing things keep happening.

Such as?

Pablo is wearing funny clothes.

What kind of funny clothes?

This kind.

My jacket has no sleeves.

That's not actually a jacket, Pablo.

That's a waistcoat.

Well, it's still itchy, whatever it is,

and not only that,

but my shirt has corners on it.

In point of fact, those are clothes for going somewhere special.

Is your mum taking you out today?

We were going to Uncle John's wedding, but my mum disappeared.

How can a mum disappear?

I told you confusing things keep happening.

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

Maybe your granny is here, Pablo.

Is your granny looking after you today?

No. My granny's not looking after me.

Then who is actually looking after you, in point of fact?

I don't know, Draff, but I did see a big purple bird.

A big purple bird?

Purple birds don't usually look after children.

Do you know anything about a big purple bird, Noa?

No. Why would I know?

Because birds are related to dinosaurs -

everybody knows that.

-Well, I don't know anything about a big purple bird.

-Tweet-tweet.

What big purple bird?

Is it a hawk?

Hawks are big birds, but they're not very friendly.

How would I know if it was a hawk?

Hawks have big claws, like this.

And a curved beak, too,

but I can't draw that very easily.

I know what a hawk's beak looks like.

And I need some bigger wings.

This is what a hawk looks like.

WREN SCREECHES

Argh!

Wah!

Wren, you frightened Mouse.

I didn't mean to.

We'd better go after her.

We'd better go after her.

Mouse! Mouse!

Mouse! Mouse!

Mouse!

Hello, Llama.

Hello, Llama.

Mouse thought she saw a hawk.

Eek!

That wasn't a hawk -

that was Wren.

Look, Mouse, it's me. It's Wren.

Wren doesn't look like Wren.

Now do I look like Wren?

Yes.

-WREN GASPS

-And I look like Tang!

-Ta-da! Ha-ha-ha!

-Ha-ha-ha!

Hello, Tang.

Huh.

But Pablo doesn't look like Pablo.

That jacket doesn't have any sleeves.

It's a waistcoat. Pablo is going to a wedding, Mouse.

You have to dress up if you're going to a wedding.

Only Pablo can't go to a wedding now, Draff,

because he's lost his mum, remember.

Pablo's lost his mum?

Then who's looking after him?

A big purple bird.

Ah!

Big purple birds don't usually look after children.

Ooh, ooh! If Pablo's mum is lost, we have to find her.

Where did you lose her, Pablo?

In the sitting room.

Did you look behind the sofa?

Mouse was hiding behind the sofa,

but Mouse didn't see Pablo's mum.

Did you look on the telly?

Oh, banana...

And each of these recipes uses a banana as the main ingredient.

That's right, Enil, they all use bananas.

Mmm, bananas!

Maybe Pablo's mum is in the bathroom!

-Ooh.

-Sometimes that's the place people disappear to.

The first step is to take the skin off, Enil.

Where'd everybody go?

Wait for me!

Or the peel, as some people like to call it.

Has anybody seen Mum anywhere?

Not since this morning.

She's had her hair done.

She didn't want to get it wet.

She didn't want bubbles either.

-MUM:

-Pablo! Pablo! Are you ready to go?

Tweet-tweet! Someone is calling Pablo.

It sounds like Pablo's mum.

It does sound like my mum, but I don't think it really is.

Wait until you see her.

-TOILET FLUSHES

-Tee-hee-hee!

Tweet-tweet!

Ah!

THEY GASP

It's the big purple bird!

Big purple birds don't usually look after children.

Confusing things are happening!

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm...

Are you sure that's a big purple bird?

She doesn't actually have proper bird feet.

She's wearing high heels.

And those wings aren't exactly like most wings.

In point of fact, most birds have feathers all over them,

not just on top of their heads.

Ah-hah, Pablo, there you are. Are you ready to go to the wedding?

That bird sounds exactly like Pablo's mum.

Most birds sound like this.

Tweet-tweet-tweet!

Pablo's mum definitely doesn't sound like that, Wren.

And neither does this big purple bird.

Come on, Pablo. I'll just brush your hair before we go.

In point of fact, that big purple bird is Pablo's mum.

She's just dressed up like Pablo is dressed up.

You mean she's wearing special bird clothes for the wedding?

Ooh, ooh! Smell her hands and her hair.

That's the best way to know for sure, Pablo.

PABLO SNIFFS

HE SNIFFS

There we go.

Mum.

Don't you look very handsome now, Pablo?

Shall we go to Uncle John's wedding?
