Sammy the Spaghetti-Loving Raccoon
Sammy Raccoon found a bowl of spaghetti. Slurp, slurp, munch, munch! He had never tasted anything so yummy.
"Slurp, slurp, munch, munch! Spaghetti is so yummy!" Sammy sang.
Sammy ate and ate until spaghetti was in his fur, on his ears, and even on his nose!
"You're a messy eater!" laughed his friends. Sammy looked at his reflection in the pond.
"I'm a spaghetti monster!" he giggled. Slurp, slurp, munch, munch! Now Sammy's friends bring him spaghetti every Tuesday.
Greta the Giraffe's Mismatched Socks
Greta Giraffe couldn't find matching socks. Mix, match, this, that! She put on polka dots, stripes, and zigzags.
"Mix, match, this, that! My socks are silly!" Greta laughed.
The other animals stared at Greta's colorful legs. "Your socks don't match!" they said.
"I know!" smiled Greta. "Matching is boring!" The next day, all the animals wore mismatched socks.
Mix, match, this, that! Now every Tuesday is Silly Sock Day in the jungle.
Eddie the Rubber Duck Collecting Elephant
Eddie Elephant loved rubber ducks. Squeak, squeak, float, float! He collected yellow ones, blue ones, and even a purple one with a hat.
"Squeak, squeak, float, float! Rubber ducks are neat!" Eddie trumpeted.
Eddie's bathtub was full of ducks. "There's no room for you!" laughed his friends.
"I know," sighed Eddie. So he built a duck pond! Now all the animals bring their rubber ducks to swim in Eddie's pond.
Squeak, squeak, float, float! Eddie has duck parties every Saturday afternoon.
Cookie the Cookie-Stealing Fox
Cookie Fox had a sweet tooth. Munch, crunch, yum, yum! She sneaked into kitchens to find treats.
"Munch, crunch, yum, yum! Cookies are so tasty!" Cookie whispered.
One day, Cookie couldn't open a cookie jar. She pulled and pulled but it wouldn't open!
"Need help?" asked Rabbit. Together they opened the jar, and Cookie shared all the cookies.
Munch, crunch, yum, yum! Now Cookie and her friends bake cookies together every Friday.
