Great catch Nick!

Guess I wibbled when I should've wobbled!
If I was super tall I bet I could get my ball.
I have a friend who's tree top tall!
Really? - Who?
Treetop Tom, the giraffe!
He lives in the So Sunny Savannah!
Would you like to meet him?
Yeah! - Yes please!
Your mother will not mind at all if you do.

Hello!
He's not here!
Boy, for someone so tall, he sure is hard to find.
Perhaps he's behind this tree.
Whoaaaa!
(giggles)
You mean he is the tree!
Hellllooo down there!
Hi Treetop Tom!
I'd like you to meet my friends Nick and Sally.
Wow! You ARE tall!
How come we didn't see you?
'cause he looked like a tree.
Indeed!
A tall giraffe is not easy to see, when his spots
blend in with the colours of the tree!

From up here I've got the perfect view!
We want to be tall too!

Yes, have all you want.

I have to be good at finding things because

We think someone took it.

Of course! You've come to the top man.

And will do so for you...
As soon as I find my hat.
Where do you think it's gone?
All my detective skills tell me
that someone must have taken it.
But, fear not! We'll track them down.
How?
Ah, that's the clever part!
Anyone who's been here today will have left foot-prints.
Are those footprints over there?

Yeah, I don't think elephants wear hats.
Hmm... Bath time!

Hmmm, is this one?
It doesn't look like a footprint.
Just three little lines.
Footprints come in all shapes and sizes.

Not again!
You don't have it, do you?
No! His hat's too big for me.
Way too big.

Or our strawberry.
We will!

Footprints are marks that are left on the ground,
You'll see all shapes and sizes
if you look around,
But as for who made them;
well, here's a hint...
Feet are the same size
and same shape as their print!
Look, there are some footprints!
Those are ours.
And those must be Mom's...
Aha!
Tiny, little footprints!
So it must be a small animal.
