rainy day. Do you
think Weather Koala should wear
his raincoat
or his
green jacket, what do you think, for this rainy
day? You can tell me aloud, shout
it out, or you can point.
Oh, well, if you
chose the raincoat, I agree.
Since it's raining, he should put on his
raincoat so he'll stay nice and dry
and we'll save his green jacket for
another day. Okay, Weather Koala,
raincoat it is.
And now, do you think, Weather
Koala, well, he should put on his
pants, right? What do you think?
His blue jeans
with the belt. Okay, let's
put on his jeans. There you go,
Weather Koala, your blue jeans.
We'll put them down a little. Blue
jeans and
he's going to need something on his feet.
Should he put on the rain boots or
the snow boots, the winter boots? What do you think?
Rain boots or winter boots?
You can point or you can tell me.
Rain boots,
I agree if you pick this one.
Let's save the winter
boots for a snowy day
or a cold winter day.
Let's put the rain boots on for today.
And then his feet will stay dry.
Good idea. Okay.
Here you go, Weather Koala.
There you go. You have
some rain boots now.
You think he needs anything else? Maybe something
for his head?
Oh, yes.
That's called his rain
hat. Yes, hat.
Rain hat. We'll put on
his yellow rain hat.
Great. And now I think he's
ready for this rainy day.
Oh, what's that?
You think he needs an
um, um,
um,
umbrella.
Okay, umbrella.
We have an umbrella
for Weather Koala.
You want to put it on this side? Okay, Weather Koala.
We'll put your umbrella right here.
