1
00:00:01,885 --> 00:00:02,718
(marker scratch)

2
00:01:21,770 --> 00:01:26,770
- Hi, it's Mo Willems here on
our third Thank You Thursday,

3
00:01:27,330 --> 00:01:32,143
on the third Thursday in May,
having another Thank-O-Rama.

4
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:36,903
I am an author, and an illustrator,

5
00:01:37,870 --> 00:01:41,780
and I'm also a thanker.

6
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:45,860
I like to thank people and things

7
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:48,420
for making my life easier and better,

8
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:50,320
even when it's kind of difficult.

9
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,850
Like, I'm really thankful
today that I have this table,

10
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:58,410
and I have these pens, because
I get to make drawings,

11
00:01:58,410 --> 00:02:01,080
and you know sometimes
when I'm having a hard day,

12
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,950
it's really great just to be by myself

13
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:07,513
with my pens and just make some drawings.

14
00:02:08,500 --> 00:02:12,050
So, today we're going to
say a very special thanks

15
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:14,250
to a very special group of people.

16
00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:16,517
I don't know who it's going to be.

17
00:02:16,517 --> 00:02:17,350
So, let's go

18
00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:18,183
(snap)

19
00:02:18,183 --> 00:02:19,530
to the Thank-O-Rama spinner.

20
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:20,710
Yep, there it is.

21
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:23,580
Look at all those different
people we can thank.

22
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:25,810
Now it's time to spin the spinner.

23
00:02:25,810 --> 00:02:28,630
Remember I need your
help to spin the spinner.

24
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:31,170
And when I say three when
I say three, two, one,

25
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:32,670
you're going to yell, spin!

26
00:02:32,670 --> 00:02:37,473
Ready, here we go, three, two, one, spin!

27
00:02:38,712 --> 00:02:40,440
Wow, look at that spinner, it's spinning,

28
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,240
it's spinning, it's spinning,
it's spinning, and it stopped.

29
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,598
Oh, look where it stopped...

30
00:02:45,598 --> 00:02:47,065
(snap)

31
00:02:47,065 --> 00:02:47,898
Scientists.

32
00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:51,670
Boy, I am really appreciative

33
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:54,130
of all the work that Scientists are doing

34
00:02:54,130 --> 00:02:57,720
to try and find ways to
make people healthier,

35
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,330
but also to find ways for us to behave,

36
00:03:01,330 --> 00:03:04,480
so that we don't make more people sick.

37
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,960
The Scientists have been
working every single day,

38
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,350
really, really hard and I think it's time

39
00:03:10,350 --> 00:03:15,350
for us to thank them with
a big thank you poster.

40
00:03:15,575 --> 00:03:18,180
So, oh before we, we're
going to press pause,

41
00:03:18,180 --> 00:03:19,580
because we're going to
do a couple drawings,

42
00:03:19,580 --> 00:03:21,420
make sure you have some big paper,

43
00:03:21,420 --> 00:03:24,230
and some pens, or crayons, or pencils.

44
00:03:24,230 --> 00:03:27,490
It doesn't matter what kind, any crayon,

45
00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:31,140
any marker, it's all
good, okay, you got it?

46
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:32,631
Oh and maybe some scissors later,

47
00:03:32,631 --> 00:03:35,124
and maybe someone to be a scissor

48
00:03:35,124 --> 00:03:38,013
helper, cutter person, yeah, okay.

49
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,697
Play, all right.

50
00:03:41,697 --> 00:03:45,677
As I was saying, I want to
make a poster for Scientists

51
00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:49,430
to thank them for all
the things that they do.

52
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:50,850
This is pretty big piece of paper,

53
00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:55,353
I can put this in my window. Scientists.

54
00:03:57,270 --> 00:04:00,540
Whew. S.

55
00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:04,533
That's a tricky thing to make
a thank you drawing out of.

56
00:04:05,634 --> 00:04:07,020
And I want to draw some Scientists.

57
00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:08,860
Let me see, what am I going to do?

58
00:04:08,860 --> 00:04:12,690
Oh, I have an idea. I like
to make my Scientists,

59
00:04:12,690 --> 00:04:17,690
my characters, birds. This is
going to be a scientist bird.

60
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,521
And on one wing

61
00:04:22,521 --> 00:04:27,521
it's holding up a test tube,

62
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:31,070
testing a formula, bubbles are coming up.

63
00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:33,595
And on the other,

64
00:04:33,595 --> 00:04:38,595
it's on a birdie computer.

65
00:04:38,740 --> 00:04:41,290
There's the monitor down there,

66
00:04:41,290 --> 00:04:44,340
and it's doing some scientific research.

67
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:47,340
Oh, that's a pretty good bird,

68
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:50,703
sitting there, little
bird legs, bird feet.

69
00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:56,674
There we go, that is our Scientist.

70
00:04:56,674 --> 00:04:58,620
Make sure that people understand

71
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:00,210
what that S with the bird is,

72
00:05:00,210 --> 00:05:03,210
so I'm going to write
it. Be very explicit.

73
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:05,676
Thank

74
00:05:08,101 --> 00:05:10,040
you

75
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,855
Scientists.

76
00:05:13,855 --> 00:05:15,240
I had to put it up here because

77
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,079
I didn't have space down
there. Thank you Scientists.

78
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:21,188
Let me write my name.

79
00:05:21,188 --> 00:05:24,370
So people know that I did
it, you can write your names,

80
00:05:24,370 --> 00:05:27,794
so people know that you've made yours.

81
00:05:27,794 --> 00:05:29,893
Let's see, I got my date stamp.

82
00:05:31,090 --> 00:05:33,053
There it is, May 21.

83
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,290
Look at mine, ha?

84
00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:39,900
That's an S, but it's
really a scientist bird

85
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,210
that says thank you Scientists.
That's what it does, ha?

86
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:45,700
Can I see yours? Why
don't you hold yours up?

87
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:48,300
Oh, yeah. Oh, I like that.

88
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:51,240
I like how some of you
did something similar.

89
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,700
And some of you just did
something totally different.

90
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:56,930
That's both really, really cool.

91
00:05:56,930 --> 00:06:01,770
Well, I'll save that and I'll
stick that up on my window.

92
00:06:01,770 --> 00:06:03,943
You know that I'm a thanker.

93
00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:08,353
But the question is, am I a singer?

94
00:06:09,330 --> 00:06:11,270
No, I'm not a very good singer.

95
00:06:11,270 --> 00:06:16,060
But I'm going to sing anyway
because I am so thankful

96
00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:18,140
that I'm willing to sing poorly.

97
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:22,450
We're going to do a song that
is written by my composer

98
00:06:22,450 --> 00:06:25,225
and friend Debbie Wicks
La Puma. Say hi, Debbie.

99
00:06:25,225 --> 00:06:26,066
(snap)

100
00:06:26,066 --> 00:06:28,299
- Hey, good to se ya.

101
00:06:28,299 --> 00:06:29,720
(snap)

102
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,380
- And Debbie wrote the music to this song.

103
00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:34,470
Also wrote the music to

104
00:06:34,470 --> 00:06:36,860
"Elephant & Piggie's We Are in a Play!"

105
00:06:36,860 --> 00:06:39,880
Which is a musical that we
wrote about Elephant and Piggie.

106
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,550
All right, before we sing our song,

107
00:06:43,550 --> 00:06:47,840
let's think of a good instrument
that I can play at the end.

108
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:51,970
A little solo, oh, and if I
think about Elephant and Piggie,

109
00:06:51,970 --> 00:06:54,223
there's a book called
"Listen to My Trumpet."

110
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,250
Let's make a trumpet.

111
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,900
Trumpet is just a bunch
of shapes and letters

112
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:02,280
put together in the right order.

113
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,220
So, I have my piece of
paper sideways, like this.

114
00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:09,040
Let's see what I got. I'm
going to start with a really

115
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,040
squished out letter O, like
that on this end of the paper.

116
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,960
And then, I'm going to make
kind of like two lines,

117
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:23,888
kind of like a letter V, there.

118
00:07:23,888 --> 00:07:27,230
Troooop. Roooop.

119
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:31,900
Two lines like that, and kind
of of a squishy letter U.

120
00:07:32,930 --> 00:07:35,980
Oh, letter U. Oh, I'm
going to make another one,

121
00:07:35,980 --> 00:07:39,163
smaller squishy letter U.

122
00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:43,160
Now I talk about myself three times,

123
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,463
I. I. I. And they're lower case I's.

124
00:07:48,588 --> 00:07:51,380
All right. And the letter O,

125
00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:54,920
and maybe another little
O in there. Look at that.

126
00:07:57,776 --> 00:07:59,730
That kind of looks like a trumpet.

127
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:02,980
All right. Grabbing my scissors,

128
00:08:02,980 --> 00:08:05,480
and I'm not a very good cutter-utter-er,

129
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,920
but that's okay, I'm just
going to do a quick one.

130
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,920
You don't have to cut it out.
Or, you can it out real quick.

131
00:08:14,050 --> 00:08:19,050
Or, you can press pause
and take your time.

132
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:24,430
Or, you can ask an official
cutter in your family,

133
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,650
maybe there's somebody where
you're staying right now,

134
00:08:28,650 --> 00:08:32,160
who's really good at cutting things.

135
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,283
Say hey, I drew this trumpet,

136
00:08:36,690 --> 00:08:37,873
let's do some cutting.

137
00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:41,640
All right, so this is
going to be for my solo.

138
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,120
I'm going to put these
pieces of paper here,

139
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,173
because I may need them later.

140
00:08:47,180 --> 00:08:49,880
The other week, I had some scratch paper,

141
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,640
and I turned it into this
sign that says singer.

142
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,150
Not a singer.

143
00:08:55,150 --> 00:08:58,980
All right. Here we go,
I've got my trumpet.

144
00:08:58,980 --> 00:09:00,990
And I've got my friend, Battery,

145
00:09:00,990 --> 00:09:04,873
who's going to help me sing.
All right, are you ready?

146
00:09:05,770 --> 00:09:07,487
- [Battery] Battery hi.

147
00:09:07,487 --> 00:09:08,687
- Hi, Battery. All right.

148
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:13,883
Let's do this all together
and thank some Scientists.

149
00:09:15,442 --> 00:09:18,104

There we go, thank you
for thanking Scientists.

And we'll see you next week

169
00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:10,350
on the fourth Thank You Thursday.

170
00:10:10,350 --> 00:10:11,867
