Rainforest Race/Gallery

Snapshots

(Our special day begins at the rainforest that we have another race after Dora and her friends succeeded their super adventure race!)

[WHOA! Look at all these animals!]

And here come Diego and Alicia!

"¡Hola!"

"I'm Diego!"

"And this is my sister, Alicia!"

"Hi!" she says.

"We're animal

adventurers!"

Alicia explains why all those animals are here. "Today is the

Rainforest Race!" (Cool!)

"Animals come from ALL OVER

to be in this race!" Diego explains.

"And the WINNER of today's race

wins a

day at the

brand new

animal playground!"

Diego has a question for you: "Do YOU like playgrounds?"

Feel free to tell them!

Well, Diego does! "I LOVE playgrounds!"

So does Alicia. "Me too!"

Spectacled Bear team

Howler monkey team

Puma team

"Diego!

Alicia!" WHO said THAT?!

"What about

ME?!"

"Hey,

that's Armadillo!"

"She's REALLY nice!"

Can you say, "Armadillo"?

Say, "Hi, Armadillo!"

"HI, ARMADILLO!"

"¡HOLA!"

"I wanna be in the race, too!"

"But I don't have a team!"

Diego has an idea! "That's okay, Armadillo."

"I'LL be on your team!"

"Really, Diego?!"

"SURE!"

What about YOU? "Will YOU be on our team?" asked Diego.

Tell them your thoughts! Armadillo would really appreciate it.

"GREAT!"

"¡Gracias,

GRACIAS!"

"I'VE GOT A TEAM!"

"I'VE GOT A TEAM!!"

Armadillo wants to win and play in the animal playground, but the other animals are so big!

Count the bands with Diego in Spanish!

¡Uno,

dos,

tres!

"I'm a three-banded armadillo!" said Armadillo. "OH, OH, OH! And check THIS out!"

"I can turn myself into a ball!"

"There are three places you need to get through:

The shaky nut trees,

the muddy slide,

and the giant mountain!"

These are the three obstacles.

"Whoever makes it to the finish line first…

WINS! And gets to play in the animal playground!"

(all cheering)

"YAY!"

"Are you ready to start the race?"

"Great!"

"Ready,

Set…

GO!!!"

Who can roll up into a shape that's round? Say,

"Armadillo!"

(ARMADIL-LO!)

Who's got sharp claws that can dig in the ground? Say, "Armadillo!"

(ARMADIL-LO!)

With your help we can keep up the pace! And maybe we can win the race!

Who's got a shell that's

REALLY strong?

Who can smell danger with a nose that's long?

Say, "Armadillo!"
(ARMADIL-LO!)

With your help we can keep up the pace! And maybe we can win the race!

(This must be the shaky nut trees. On the way, the flag has all colors of the rainbow like the Pride Month flag!)

"Look!" Diego said.

"The shaky nut trees!"

(Grrr! Grrr!)

"All the animals are getting HIT by nuts!" (That's not good.)

"It's

slowing them

down!"

It's a picture of a maned wolf!

The pumas,

the bears,

and the monkeys are sliding down the Muddy Slide!

"This going to be FUN!"

WHEEEEEEEE!!!

Oh, no! The muddy slide stopped and Armadillo got stuck!

Will you help Armadillo roll down the Muddy Slide?

Roll,

roll,

roll!

¡Rueda, rueda!

Again! ¡Rueda, rueda!

Roll, roll, roll!

"¡AYÚDENME!

¡AYÚDENME!"

(growls sadly)

(growls sadly)

"HEY!"

"That sounds like one of the pumas might be in trouble!"

"We can use

my

spotting scope to help us find the puma team!"

"Making a spotting scope with your hands

to look for the puma team!"

Do you see the puma team?

"There they are! But it looks like one of the pumas is missing."
(Boy, do they look sad!)

(Let's find out why.)

"Come on! Let's go see what happened!"

One of the pumas is stuck in the hole!

"¡Ayundenme, ayundenme!" cried the Puma.

(growls sadly)

"Diego,

¿puedes ayudar a mi amigo?" ("Diego, can you help my friend?") asked one of the pumas.

"¡Claro que si!" ("Yes, of course!") Diego replied.

We need something that can help the puma out of the hole.

"My Rescue Pack can transform into ANYTHING we need!"

(You know what to do!)
"To activate my Rescue Pack,

say:

'Activaté'!"

Come on! Say it LOUD and PROUD!

He can't hear you! "LOUDER!" Diego called.

(Now, say it with him!)

"¡ACTIVATÉ!"

"YOOOOOOOOOOO!

Rescue Pack here!"

Can we use a bike to pull the puma out of the big hole?
No!

Can we use a hammer to pull the puma out of the big hole?
No way!!

Can we use a rope to pull the puma out of the big hole?
YES!

So tell Diego he needs a rope!

What do we need?

A rope!

Diego asks, "What animal can crawl into a hole?"

Who do you think?

"Armadillo! Right!"

"Yeah, I can do it!"

"I can crawl into the dark hole!"

"¡Fantastico!"

Down goes Armadillo.

"We're ready, Diego!" said Armadillo.

"Pull us up!"

Off to the giant mountain!

We made it to the giant mountain!

"We're almost to the finish line!" said Armadillo.

If you want to win the race,

you gotta dig, dig, dig to make the pace! (The animals are climbing up the mountain)

"Look!" said Alicia.

"Armadillo's

team

IS

THE

WINNER!!!"

And here come the other teams!
