Twin brothers play ball with their dog Slim.

When his mother takes him to buy new pants, a young boy tries on many different pairs, but finds just what he wants back at home. Includes "Phonics Guidelines."

A child pretends to be a veterinarian who heals sick pets.

A girl and her father build a figure out of tin cans that wins a blue ribbon.

A child describes the special relationship shared with a cuddly red stuffed bunny.

A girl describes her spotted clothes, rug, lamp, and mug, but her twin sister prefers stripes.

These girls are not alike. They don’t look alike. They don’t act alike. But that doesn’t matter. They are best friends.

This is Dr. Bret, the pet vet. Is your pet sick? Is your pet hurt? He will fix it right up!

Hop, hop, hop! Skip, skip, skip! Run, run, run! There's a boy who loves to hop -- high and low, forward and backward. And another one who loves to skip -- over the fields, in town, all around. There's a girl who loves to run -- as light as a feather and as fast as the wind. What happens when they all head to the same place?

Who wants new pants? Not this little boy! He wants to keep his old, worn, torn, too-small pants. His mom does not agree.
