Can a kangaroo out-hop a car? Let's find out! Tiny seeds and ocean dreams, paint and puppies, tasty things! Wonder it! Draw it! Juno Blooms! And so can you! Lolo… friend? This is Petal! She blooms wherever we go. Tickle! Hee hee! I have the BEST idea! A bounce ballet! Do we bounce for snacks? How high can we bounce? Kangaroos bounce the best. We should copy them! A kangaroo ballet?! Wonder time! My wonder question: how do kangaroos hop so far? Bloom Book, come alive! Be curious, mija! And gentle with the animals. How far does it hop? One big hop can be longer than a car! Wow. Two cars! Strong back legs push. A big tail helps them balance. Tail! I have a snack tail. Tail makes you wobble less! But how do legs hop so far? Bloom Trip! Wheee! Come on, Petal! Bloom Trip! This is Australia! Kangaroos live here. Shh. We watch from far away with our eyes. Eyes only. Pretty roo. Look at her legs go! Inside her legs are stretchy bands called tendons. They stretch like a spring, and snap back to push her up! Like a spring! Squish… and boing! What do you think happens next? A baby! Let's look closer! Try-It test! Can a tail help us balance? Hop on one foot. First, with no tail. No tail. Splat! Now, a tail! Tail! Balance! A tail swings the other way, to help you balance. Petal dizzy. Hee hee! Next, a Bloom Song! One, two, three, four! Boing… boing… WOW! Boing, boing! Bend and spring! Legs like springs can do anything! Stretch it down, snap it back, Boing, boing, bend and spring, hooray! Big strong legs and a balancing tail, Hop, hop, hop on the red-dirt trail! That's it! Squish down? Spring up! Baby in the pouch? Joey, joey, joey! Make-It moment! Paper-spring kangaroos! Fold, fold, fold. That's the spring. Tail for balance. Done! Pouch for snacks! Petal go boing! Predict: whose kangaroo will hop the farthest? Squish… and spring! One hop! Five paper feet! Squish… spring! Longer! Because I squished it more! A bigger squish stores a bigger push. A baby kangaroo! A baby kangaroo is called a joey. When it is born, it is as tiny as a jellybean! It crawls into the pouch and grows safe and warm. Cozy! Lolo pouch! Hi, joey. Stay cozy. Good Petal. We watch with our eyes. A wild kangaroo needs space. Watch from far away. Time to practice our ballet! Five, six, seven, eight… leap! Ow! My legs went CLUNK! Maybe we need to jump higher! Or faster! A higher jump makes a harder landing. Look closer. Wonder it… draw it… figure it out! Look at the knees! Bend your knees, like springs. The squish makes the landing soft. Kangaroos land soft because their legs are springs! Squish, squish. Soft landing! One, two, three. No clunk! Lolo spring! Now it feels like a real ballet. Squish and spring! Beautiful AND brilliant! Welcome to the Kangaroo Bounce Ballet! One jump! Two jumps! Ta-da! Snack ballet! Joey in the pouch! Cozy hop! Counting our jumps: ten jumps! Bravo, my bouncy ballerinas! Soft landings! Ooh, fact flash! A kangaroo can't walk backward! I can't hop backward either!
