Mateo loves to build. He builds with blocks. He builds with sticks. He builds with boxes big and small. Tap, tap, tap go his busy hands!
One sunny day, Mateo sees something in the sky. A big, shiny bubble! It is round. It is rainbow. It floats down, down, down. Can Mateo catch it?
Mateo touches the bubble. POP! Oh my! The bubble whooshes and swirls. It picks Mateo up, up, up! Where will he go?
PLOP! Mateo lands on a soft, squishy floor. It feels like a pillow! He looks around. It is a shop! A magic shop! The walls smell like bubblegum, and rainbow bubbles float everywhere.
Mateo sees mops on a shelf. But these mops are silly! They wiggle and jiggle. "Mop rhymes with shop!" says Mateo. He picks one up. What can he build?
Tap, tap, tap! Mateo builds and builds. Now the mop can HOP! Hop, hop, hop goes the mop! It hops on the squishy floor. Hop, hop, hop! "Hop rhymes with shop too!" Mateo giggles.
Next, Mateo finds tops! Spinning tops that glow red, blue, and green. He taps and taps. Now his top will not stop! Spin, spin, spin! It goes round and round and round. "Stop rhymes with shop!" But this top will NOT stop!
Then Mateo finds jars of sparkly drops. Drip, drip, drop! The drops are shiny like tiny stars. He tips a jar. PLOP! A big sparkly drop lands on the squishy floor. "Drop rhymes with shop!" says Mateo. Plop, plop, plop!
Uh-oh! The mop hops. The top spins. The drops go plop. POP! POP! POP! Too many pops! The whole shop starts to wiggle. The whole shop starts to wobble! Oh no!
But Mateo knows what to do! He loves to build. He can fix this! Stack, stack, stack! He stacks the jars. Tap, tap, tap! He taps the mops back. Clap, clap, clap! He claps the tops still. Mateo builds it all back into place!
The shop is happy now! Everything is in its place. The mops wiggle. The tops glow. The drops go drip-drip-drop. And the whole magic shop cheers with one great big happy POP!
The big happy POP whooshes Mateo home! He lands back on the soft green grass with a giggle and a wave. What a day! Mateo smiles. "Bye-bye, shop!" Can you say all the rhymes? Mop, top, drop, hop, stop, plop, POP!
