wondering about today. Wait for it. Wait for it. (Elmo laughs) Nursery rhymes! There's lots of them. Oh, like Humpty Dumpty. Hi. Oh hi cat and the fiddle. Oh, hi old woman that
lives in a shoe. (laughs) Elmo loves nursery rhymes and wants to find out more about them. (laughs) Let's ask Elmo's friend, Smarty
. Let's call her together. - [All] Oh Smarty! (phone rings) - Hi, Elmo. - (laughs) Hi, Smarty. Oh Smarty looks great. - I dressed up as my
favorite nursery rhyme, ♪ Twinkle, twinkle little star ♪ (both laugh) - Well that's perfect, Smarty, because Elmo wants to learn
all about nursery rhymes. - Well, what do we do
to learn something new? - [All] We look it up! - Getting the story on nursery rhymes. (bright music) A nursery rhyme is a short
poem or a song that rhymes and can tell a story. Jack be
nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candlestick. And there's lots of
others like Little Bo Peep and Humpty Dumpty. Just to mention a few! - (laughs) Smarty rhymed. - That's right, Elmo. Well, I'm off. See ya. - Oh thank you, Smarty. Bye bye. Boy, nursery rhymes sure are a lotta fun. Hey, that gives Elmo an idea. Oh let's play a game together. Yeah. Come on, come on. (bright music) Three pieces of this puzzle are missing. Let's see if we can put
them in the right place. Is that right? -
[Child] No, that piece is blue. Like the sky. Put it in the sky. - [Child] That's right. - [Elmo] Now how about this piece? - [Child] It's part of the
wall. Put it on the bottom. - [Child] Yeah, down there. - [Elmo] Okay, the last piece. Oh, that's weird. It's not fitting. - [Child] Yeah, it's upside down. Try turning it around. - Oh! Thank you. We did it! Wow, really loves nursery rhymes. And that makes Elmo wonder even more, does Mr. Noodle have a
favorite nursery rhyme? Let's ask him. (Elmo l
aughs) - [All] Hey, Mr. Noodle! Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle. Hi Mr. Noodle. Mr. Noodle, Elmo was wondering, do you have a favorite nursery rhyme? Oh boy, can you show us? - [Child] Yeah, show us. He's Little Bo Peep! - (laughs) Little Bo Peep is Mr. Noodle's favorite nursery rhyme? Oh, oh wait a minute. Elmo thinks Little Bo
Peep has lost something. (playfully pensive music) Can Mr. Noodle show us what she lost? - [Child] That looks heavy. - Child] It's his luggage! - [Elmo] Little
Bo Peep lost her luggage? No, Elmo doesn't think
that's right, Mr. Noodle. Little Bo Peep lost something fluffy. (playful music) You got it? Okay. - [Child] Whoa! He has pancakes. - (laughs) Oh well, okay. Yes, pancakes do look light
and fluffy, Mr. Noodle. But Little Bo Peep
didn't lose her pancakes. Silly. Little Bo Peep lost something
that is fluffy and goes baa! You got it? Okay. Okay, okay. - [Child] Her sheep! That's right. - [Elmo] That's right, Mr. Noodle! Little Bo Peep lost her sheep.
You did it! (sheep bleat) Thanks for showing us your
favorite nursery rhyme, Mr. Noodle.
- [Children] Yeah! Bye, Mr. Noodle. - Bye bye. Boy, learning new things
makes Elmo so happy it makes him want to dance! (upbeat music)
