Trees and Tall Things Show Me Show Me

We're off on a journey

to play in the sky.

Into the lift to zoom way up high.

Up at the top are friends that we know.

Let's go and meet them and count as we go.

One elephant exercising.

Two trains chug-chugging.

Three tigers snoozing.

Four giraffes bathing.

Five snakes sneezing. Aa-choo!

Six cars cart-wheeling.

Seven hamsters hopping.

Eight monkeys missing. Pee-po!

Nine jellyfish jiggling.

Are you wriggling your worms with us?

# Show me, show me a tiny Chris. #

Oh, I'm ever so small.

# Show me, show me a great big Pui... #

# Show me, show me all the toys. #

There's Mo Mo Bot and Tom and Stuffy

Miss Mouse and Teddington, is that everybody?

Who's missing?

Yes, it's Tom.

We'll find our toy and you can get yours.

Come on, let's go.

Tom, where are you?

Tom, are you there?

"SHOW ME" JINGLE

Someone wants a show me.

Show me, show me trees.

Trees! Well we've got a beautiful tree here.

Let's look at some more trees. Come on.

Oh, I haven't got a token. Have you?

Yes. Here we are.

Let's have a look.

Oh, look. A long, long trunk.

What's at the top?

Ooh, lots and lots of branches with leaves.

It's a tree. Look how green they are.

A big tree.

A small tree.

A tree with no leaves.

Trees with lots of leaves.

Trees in a park.

Trees in a garden.

Are there trees where you live?

Your turn. Show me, show me trees.

Trees are green and the branches are brown.

Trees have got lots of leaves on them.

The birdies live in the tree.

Um, trees is for leaves to stay up and they fall down

when you shake the tree.

And the wind is very strong.

SHE GIGGLES

I've got one tree in my garden.

It's really tall.

Not that tall!

That's it.

You showed me.

And me.

And Tom.

Let's build a tree the size of the playroom.

Ooh, let's see what we've got. Come on.

Hmm. We need things that are brown for the tree trunk.

Yes. Can you spot anything brown like bark for the trunk?

Let's have a look in here.

Ooh, this is brown.

We'll use that. Anything brown here?

Something yellow. Ooh, this is brown.

Thank you, Pui.

I've got brown socks for the branches.

I've got some green things here that we can use for the leaves.

Green gloves and scarves for leaves.

How's that looking?

Our terrific tall tree.

It is tall, isn't it.

And, Chris, if we all stand on our tip-toes

we could all be as tall as a tree.

My arms are branches and my fingers are leaves.

Are your fingers leaves too?

Ooh, the wind's blowing.

The wind's really blowing now

and it's going to blow the leaves off our branches.

Are you ready for your leaves to spin to the ground? Here they go.

Whee!

Whee-ee-ee.

Whee-ee-ee-ee.

Hello.

Hello.

HE BLOWS

HE BLOWS

HE BLOWS HARDER

HE GIGGLES

Oh, that's better.

I've got a game for us to play. A tree game.

Some of these things grow on trees,

some of them don't.

Guess which do.

If they stick to the tree then they grow on trees.

If they don't stick, they don't grow on trees.

What about leaves?

Do leaves grow on trees?

What do you think? Let's find out.

Will it stick to the tree?

Oh, look. Yes! Leaves grow on trees.

That's good. What about biscuits?

I love biscuits.

Do biscuits grow on trees?

Let's find out. Let's put it on the tree.

Will they stick?

No! They don't.

They don't grow on trees.

What about an apple?

A lovely, juicy red apple.

Mmm, delicious.

Do apples grow on trees? Let's find out.

Will it stick?

Yes! Apples grow on trees.

What's next? Cheese. Mmm, delicious cheese.

Rhymes with trees.

Does cheese grow on trees?

Let's find out.

No. Cheese doesn't grow on trees.

What about pears? Here's a juicy pear.

Pear is a fruit as well.

Will it stick? Let's find out.

It sticks! Pears grow on trees.

MUSIC PLAYS

Whoa! Show me, show me your groovy moves.

Come on, Stuffy.

Freeze!

MUSIC STOPS

Tom, you moved.

BELL RINGS

The lift's calling. I wonder who's inside.

Time to open the shop.

RINGS BELL

Shop's open.

It's the Hey Diddle Cow.

Hello there, Pui. Hello.

# Hey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle

-# The cow jumped over the moon

-Whee!

# The little dog laughed to see such fun

# And the dish ran away with the spoon. #

-RINGS BELL

-Shop's open.

Hello. I wonder if you can help me, shopkeeper.

I'm having trouble jumping over the moon.

Oh, dear. I'll see what I've got to help you.

Oh, good. How exciting. I wonder what it will be?

You'll need something as tall as a tree to reach the moon.

-Tall, that's good.

-How about this ladder?

-GASPS

-It's not tall enough. Dear, oh, dear.

Have you any other tall things?

Tall things? I'm not sure. Hang on a moment.

I haven't got a tall thing, but I've got this.

-Let's see.

-That might help you.

It's a trampoline for you to bounce on and jump to the moon.

Oh, dear, oh, dear. That's not a good idea.

I might bounce the wrong way.

Have you anything else?

One moment. Um...

Oh, I know the perfect thing to help you reach the moon.

Oh, really? I'm so excited. What could it be?

-There.

-Oh, I like it, I like it! Hey, diddle, diddle.

It's a rocket. All you have to do is pop inside and blast up to the moon.

But it's only got a little door. I'm a great big cow!

Oh, I'm sorry.

PUI SIGHS

Excuse me, but if you don't mind me asking,

how do you normally jump over the moon?

Let me think. The little cat plays the fiddle -

that's a violin - and then I jump over the moon.

-Oh, really?

-Yes.

So the cat plays the fiddle. Erm, I know.

How about if I pretend to be the cat by putting this mask on, meow,

and I play this fiddle or violin, as you call it.

Oh, let's see if it works.

# Hey, diddle, diddle the cat and the fiddle

-# The cow jumped over the moon... #

-Whee-ee-ee!

Oh, well done, Hey Diddle Cow! You jumped over the moon.

Did the little dog laugh?

GIGGLING

Oh, yes. He can't believe his eyes.

# And the dish ran away with the spoon. # Ooh! Ha-ha.

"SHOW ME" JINGLE

Somebody wants a show me.

Show me, show me, tall things.

Tall things.

I'm going to try and build a tall thing

using some of Teddington's bricks.

Right, one, two, three, four,

five... Oops.

Oh, dear. Let me try again.

Right. Let's build up and up,

make it taller and taller...

and even taller...

and taller and taller.

What do you think, Teddington? It's looking good, isn't it?

But is it as tall as Teddington?

Right, hang on a minute.

Let's see.

Is it as tall as Teddington? No, it's not.

Teddington is much taller.

A-a-ah.

A-a-ah.

A-a-ah.

A-a-ah.

-A-a-ah.

-A-a-ah.

Get cosy and comfy, sit down with your toy.

Here comes a tale for us all to enjoy.

Right now it's Stuffy's tale.

Ready, Stuffy?

Here we go.

Stuffy is soft and Stuffy is quite small,

but sometimes Stuffy would like to be tall.

"If only I could find a way to be a bit taller just for one day,"

thought Stuffy one afternoon.

"I don't want to be as tall as a tree.

"To be as tall as a tree would be too tall for me,"

thought Stuffy.

"I don't want to be tall as a tower

"or even as tall as a yellow sunflower,"

mused Stuffy.

"Not tall as a table or even as a chair.

"I'd like to be as tall as Teddington bear."

"Teddington's ever so tall.

"In fact, he's the tallest toy of all.

"I'd like to be as tall as him cos being tall is a useful thing,"

thought Stuffy.

Once when Miss Mouse needed help to fetch the jam down from the shelf,

Teddington was there, a very tall and helpful bear.

And later on when Toddler Tom couldn't reach his yellow crayon

Teddington let out a shout,

"Don't worry, Tom, I'll sort it out."

When Mo Mo Bot's Frisbee got stuck in a tree

guess who came and set it free?

"I just wish it could be me

"who's tall enough to reach in a tree," thought Stuffy.

And then one very windy day, Miss Mouse's scarf blew away.

It dropped on top of the climbing frame

and Teddington said, "Oh, what a shame.

"That's far too high for even my paw to reach."

Then, suddenly, Stuffy was there

and he was quite a lot taller than Teddington bear.

"Stuffy," squeaked Miss Mouse, "You have rescued my scarf,

"but how come you're as tall as a necky giraffe?"

"Well," said Stuffy,

"it isn't just me, all my friends have helped, you see."

Oh, what a funny sight to see!

A tower of toys all holding Stuffy.

But just then, Toddler Tom felt a sneeze coming on

and that is when it all went wrong.

Tipple, topple, to the ground,

all the toys came tumbling down.

"Are you hurt?" squeaked Miss Mouse with a frown.

"We didn't get hurt at all because soft, bouncy Stuffy broke our fall."

"Ha-ha," giggled all the toys.

"I enjoyed being tall," thought Stuffy,

"but being soft and quite small is best of all.

"Especially if you're Stuffy."

Oh, I agree, Stuffy.

You are soft and you're very small, but you enjoy being Stuffy-height

and I like being Chris-height.

"SHOW ME" JINGLE

Listen.

Come on, let's go outside.

Puffs of cloud high in the sky,

what can you see floating by?

A leaf.

Puffs of cloud high in the sky,

wonderful things floating by.

Pui, am I the tallest thing?

Um, I think we're IN the tallest thing.

-Our tower.

-Of course!

I can't think of anything taller than our tower.

Well, let's see. Come on.

Oh, let's have a look.

What can you see?

A tall, tall tower.

And what's this?

Tall, tall cranes.

And a tall, tall animal.

It's a giraffe.

That giraffe was so tall.

We're going to be tall things now. Join in with the guessing game.

# Guess what I am

# I'm very tall

# Guess what I am

# With windows

# I'm tall with windows and people live here

# Guess if you can. #

What's Pui being?

Have you guessed?

Tall. I'm a tower.

I'm going to be something you find on a building site

to help builders and I turn like this.

# Guess what I am

# I'm very tall

# Guess what I am

# I turn, like this

# I'm tall, I turn and I pick things up

# Guess what I am. #

What is Chris being? He's tall, he does that. Do you know?

I was being a crane.

Of course. What shall I be next?

-How about an animal.

-Oh, yes.

# Guess what I am

# I'm very tall

# Guess what I am

# With a long neck

# I'm tall, I reach high with my long, long neck

# Guess if you can. #

Have you guessed what animal Pui is being?

I'm a giraffe.

The giraffe can reach the tree tops

and we have seen lots of trees today.

Trees are tall with leafy branches.

In fact, you have made us feel as tall as a tree on tip-toes.

Tall as a tree on tip-toes?

Try saying "tall as a tree on tip-toes" to your toy today.

Tall as a tree on tip-toes.

BELL RINGS

Oh, there's the lift.

It's time for us to go, but be sure to come up and see us again soon.

Get your worms ready.

Ten worms wriggling, waving goodbye.
