Mateo standing in the middle of a bright, sunny backyard with soft green grass, smiling with his arms stretched wide, looking curious and happy. In the background, colorful flowers — red, yellow, and purple — line a wooden fence, with a big golden sun in a blue sky.

This is Mateo! He loves to play outside. The sun is warm. The grass is soft. What will Mateo find today?

Mateo crouching down with wide, delighted eyes, looking at Bunny who has just hopped out from behind a green bush onto the soft grass. In the background, the sunny backyard with colorful flowers and the wooden fence.

Look! A bunny! A soft, white bunny hops out from behind a bush. Hop, hop, hop! The bunny hops on the grass.

Mateo mid-hop with both feet off the ground, knees bent, arms up, grinning big, while Bunny hops alongside him on the soft green grass. In the background, yellow and red flowers swaying gently near the wooden fence under the sunny sky.

"I can hop too!" says Mateo. Hop, hop, hop! Mateo hops like the bunny. Can you hop? Hop, hop, hop!

Mateo bending down to look at Crab, who is crawling sideways out from behind a smooth gray rock on the soft green grass. In the background, purple flowers and the bright sunny backyard with the wooden fence.

Look! A crab! A little red crab peeks out from behind a rock. Skitter, skitter, skitter! The crab crawls side to side.

Mateo down on his hands and feet, moving sideways like a crab across the soft green grass, laughing, while Crab skitters alongside him. In the background, the sunny backyard with colorful flowers and the smooth gray rock.

"I can crawl too!" says Mateo. Skitter, skitter, skitter! Mateo crawls like the crab. Can you crawl? Skitter, skitter, skitter!

Mateo looking up with wonder as Bird flutters down from a leafy green tree, wings spread wide, landing on the soft green grass near him. In the background, the bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds and the sunny backyard.

Look! A bird! A little blue bird flaps down from a tree. Flap, flap, flap! The bird flaps her wings up high.

Mateo standing on the soft green grass with his arms stretched out wide, flapping them up and down like wings, while Bird flies in a circle around him. In the background, the leafy green tree and colorful flowers under the warm sunny sky.

"I can flap too!" says Mateo. Flap, flap, flap! Mateo flaps his arms like the bird. Can you flap? Flap, flap, flap!

Mateo kneeling on the soft green grass, looking down gently at Ladybug, a tiny red-and-black ladybug sitting on the ground near a tall flower stem with a big green leaf at the top. In the background, Bunny, Crab, and Bird watching from nearby in the sunny backyard.

Oh no! Mateo hears a tiny sound. A little ladybug is on the ground. She is lost! She wants to go home to her big green leaf up high.

Mateo hopping toward the tall flower stem with the big green leaf at the top, with Bunny hopping beside him encouragingly on the soft green grass. In the background, Crab and Bird watching from the sunny backyard near the colorful flowers.

"I can help!" says Mateo. First, he hops like the bunny. Hop, hop, hop! He hops to the tall flower.

Mateo down low on his hands and knees near the base of the tall flower stem, carefully cupping Ladybug in his open palms, while Crab skitters nearby on the soft green grass. In the background, Bunny and Bird watching from the sunny backyard.

Then, he crawls like the crab. Skitter, skitter, skitter! He crawls close to the ground and scoops up the little ladybug very gently.

Mateo standing on his tiptoes with arms stretched way up high, placing Ladybug gently onto the big green leaf at the top of the tall flower stem, while Bird flutters beside him. In the background, Bunny and Crab cheering from the soft green grass in the sunny backyard.

Then, he reaches up and flaps like the bird. Flap, flap, flap! He stretches high, high, high — and puts the ladybug on her big green leaf. She is home!

Mateo dancing joyfully in the center of the soft green grass, wiggling his whole body, surrounded by Bunny hopping, Crab skittering, Bird flapping overhead, and Ladybug sitting happily on her big green leaf on the tall flower stem. In the background, the sunny backyard glowing warmly with colorful flowers, the wooden fence, and a big golden sun in the blue sky.

Hooray! All the friends are so happy! They wiggle and jiggle and dance! Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle! Mateo dances with all his friends. What a happy, happy day!
