Storyworld | The children blow a bed into Storyworld. Grandmamma arrives and, wanting to relax, decides to rest in the bed, only to find herself tossing and turning as she tries to stay comfy. She tosses around so much that she ends up getting caught in the comforter and rolling downhill...at which point the children blow a music box into the scene. At first it seems like Grandmamma will finally get a good day's sleep, but the music box ends up unwinding just as she can. Frustrated, she gets out of bed to wind it back up, and this time the music is long enough to lull her to sleep. Night-night, Grandmamma... |
| Boohbah Dance | Back in the Boohzone, the Boohbahs do a lot of their own turning (or rather, spinning)...and then go to sleep themselves when they're summoned back to their pods in the Boohball. |
