THEME SONG: The sun is coming out,

so let's go find a new adventure.

You can come along with me and be there always by my side.

Hello, it's a brand new day.

Hey.

Buenos dias, mundo.

Come on.

Come along and play, hey, here in Nina's world.

Hello, hello, hello, hey, going to be the best day ever.

Come on.

Come along and play, hey, here in Nina's world.

Hey, Nina.

What you reading?

I'm reading a story about a detective.

She's trying to solve a mystery of the disappearing dog.

Oh, that sounds slobbery.

No, it's awesome.

I borrowed it from school after Mr. Kapur read it to the class.

I wish I was a great detective.

Oh, we can both be great detectives.

Detective Star is on the case.

Now, let's solve a mystery.

Wait.

How do you solve a mystery?

Well, Mr. Kapur told us that all good detectives

look for clues and ask a lot of questions.

He says it's very important to take it one step at a time.

So first, we look for clues.

Hm.

[gasps] Look, crumbs.

BOTH: It's a clue.

Hey, my cookie.

So that's where it went.

But it's not really a mystery, just me being messy.

Hm, you're right.

We need a real mystery to solve.

Yeah.

Let's go find one.

[music playing]

Hm.

Hm.

Nina, que haces?

I'm a detective, Abuelita.

Do you have a mystery you need solved?

Hm, I don't think so.

How about you join me in this stretch while I think about it?

OK.

I call this stretch the Rubber Band.

S‐‐ s‐‐ tr‐‐ tr‐‐ ‐‐etch.

Stretch.

[gasps] Hey, what's that?

[chime]

Whoa, I think I found something under the couch.

Oh, a dust bunny?

No, your earring.

Mi hijita, so I did have a mystery to solve.

I must have lost it yesterday while stretching.

And you found it.

That's amazing.

Gracias, Nina.

Denada.

But I need a real misterio.

Maybe someone in the neighborhood needs my help.

Claro.

Who am I to get in the way of a great detective?

Ah, where did it go?

‐ Hi, Chelsea. ‐ Hola.

Is something wrong?

Hi, Nina.

Hi, Nina's grandma.

Yeah, something is wrong.

I can't find my plane.

I was flying it when a big wind knocked it down and‐‐

[whistles] down it went.

It crashed into the deepest jungle of the courtyard

and disappeared just like that.

Uh, what are you wearing, Nina?

This, oh, it's my detective hat, cause I'm Detective Nina.

And I'm on the case.

I'll help you find your plane. ‐ Really?

Then I'll be a detective too.

While you two detectives are busy solving mysteries,

I'll be over here reading my book.

OK, Abuelita.

One of the first things detectives

do is ask a lot of questions.

So tell me.

What does the airplane you lost look like?

It's red, and it has a propeller that winds up.

Interesting.

And where were you when the plane disappeared?

I was standing right here, but I threw the plane over there,

I think.

I see.

Hm, ah, ha.

Ew, a chew toy.

I bet that belongs to Max the dog.

Good thinking, Detective Chelsea.

This is yours.

Yes, my plane, you found it.

Another case closed.

That's what detectives say when they solve a mystery.

Hm, hey, what's this?

I don't know.

It isn't a plane, and it isn't chewed, so it can't

be one of Max the dog's toys.

[gasps] Do you know what this means?

We finally have a real mystery.

But who would hide it there?

And why?

Good questions, Chelsea.

Perhaps it wasn't hidden.

Maybe it's lost.

Yes, that's it.

Detective Chelsea and I need to find its owner.

Can we, Abuelita?

Por supuesto, who am I to stand in the way

of two great detectives?

OK, Detective Chelsea, let's get a good look

at this thingy for clues.

I think it's made of wood, but it's really light.

Check out the cool shape.

Maybe that's a clue.

Hm, I wonder what it's used for.

Is it a fancy backscratcher, or maybe a weird garden tool?

I know.

The bakery is just around the corner.

So I bet it's a cake batter stirrer.

Yeah.

Let's go and ask Mami.

Come on.

Mami, Mami, we solved the misterio.

What mystery?

The mystery of the lost cake batter stirrer.

Cake batter stirrer?

Oh, I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't stir cake batter with that.

‐

So it doesn't belong to you?

No, sorry.

I guess you two great detectives will just

have to keep looking for clues if you're

going to solve the mystery.

We sure will.

Come on, Detective Chelsea.

Right behind you, Detective Nina.

We found this chew toy at the same time

that we found the mystery thingy.

So maybe they belong to the same person.

BOTH: [gasp] Carlos.

Tell us, Carlos, who does this belong to?

And do you know what it is?

Hm?

Yes, no, yes, I don't know.

Why are you asking me so many questions?

It was you, wasn't it, Carlos?

OK, it was me.

I‐‐ I‐‐ ran through the petunias.

I'm sorry.

BOTH: Petunias?

Well, Carlos didn't really know about the mystery thingy.

So we've got to keep looking for clues.

There must be something that will

help us figure out what it is.

Oh, oh, look, there's a little picture of a kangaroo on it.

It kind of looks like a sticker I saw on some fruit

at Mrs. Goldstein's shop.

Ah, ha, just the clue we needed.

Let's go find Mrs. Goldstein.

Ah, ha, something tells me you found another clue.

Yes.

Come on, Abuelita.

Please, Mrs. Goldstein, we just want to know

if you've seen this before.

It will only take a minute.

Oh, my, oh, my, I can't get any work done around here.

First with Mavis delivering my package,

then Mr. Lin searching for his lost boomerang, and now this.

But Mrs. Goldstein, we're trying to solve a mystery.

Wait a minute.

Did you say Mr. Lin was searching for a boomerang?

What's a boomerang?

Maybe that's a boomerang.

Yeah.

Come on, Chelsea.

We need to find Mr. Lin.

He'll know.

NINA AND CHELSEA: Thanks, Mrs. Goldstein.

[speaking spanish]

So if we find Mr. Lin, we'll find the answer to our mystery.

I just know it.

There's Carlos.

Perhaps he's seen Mr. Lin.

Hey, Carlos.

We're looking for Mr. Lin.

Have you seen him?

Yeah, him, a squirrel, a cat, a fire hydrant, it's like Max

the dog is looking for something.

Is Max looking for this?

[barking]

Yeah, thanks, Nina.

You're welcome.

Wow, another case closed.

NINA AND CHELSEA: High five.

Now, Mr. Lin, have you seen him?

I saw him while Max and I were walking through the park.

He seemed to be looking for something too.

Thanks, Carlos.

[music playing]

To the park.

Good luck.

Yoo, hoo, Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin.

My boomerang, you found it.

So it is a boomerang.

Detective Chelsea, we solved the mystery.

BOTH: We did it.

We did it.

Uh huh.

Uh huh.

Thank you so much.

It must have fallen out of my bag on my way to see Mr. Kapur.

I've been looking for it all day.

Where did you find it?

Behind some plants in our courtyard.

I think Max the dog picked it up and tried

to bury it with his chew toy.

So we thought it belonged to Carlos.

But then Nina noticed the kangaroo design

and thought we should ask Mrs. Goldstein about it.

And she mentioned you were looking for a boomerang.

So we put all the clues together

and solved the mystery.

NINA AND CHELSEA: Case closed.

I'm so very grateful.

But why were you taking a boomerang to Mr. Kapur?

Mr. Kapur wanted to borrow a few boomerangs

to create an exhibit about Australia

for the kids at school.

Cool.

So what do you do with a boomerang, Mr. Lin?

Can you show us?

I thought you'd never ask.

[inaudible]

Whoa.

It's flying.

Wait.

Are we going to have to find it again?

No, just watch.

I don't believe it.

Amazing.

This was the best mystery ever.

I'm proud of your detective work, girls.

You followed the clues.

You asked the right questions.

And we didn't give up.

NINA AND CHELSEA: High five.

Then we found him in the park and solved the mystery

of the missing boomerang.

Well done.

I'm sure Mr. Lin was very pleased.

Now I have a mystery for you.

Someone in this room is hungry.

He has two eyes, a tail, and loves water.

I know, Hush.

BOTH: Hush, hush, little fish, we are here to make a wish.

We close our eyes and then we start to make

a wish with all our heart.

Dulce suenos, Nina.

Hasta manana, Mami.

Oh, Detective Nina, look.

It's another mystery.

A purple feather, where did it come from?

Maybe a purple chicken?

No, Star, it's just a feather from my craft box.

Another case closed.

Wow, you are good.

Ah.

Buenas noches, Star.

Buenas noches, mundo.

[music playing]

[music playing]

NINA: Oh, it's another sunny day at the beach.

And wow, it's a hot one.

I know.

Do you want to build a sand castle?

[gasps] Star.

Sorry.

It's been so hot the last few days,

I just wanted to sit under that beach umbrella for some shade.

Yeah, it has been hot, but I know

where to find the best shade in the whole neighborhood.

Where's that?

In the courtyard under our old oak tree.

I love our oak tree.

ABUELITA: Here, have a sip, Jasmine.

It sounds like Abuelita has a friend over.

Let's go.

Oh, Jasmine, you have such a lovely shade of green today.

Don't be jealous, Lily.

Dos flores [inaudible] muy bien.

Sip, sip.

Hola, Abuelita.

Um, who are you talking to?

Buenos dias, Nina.

I am talking to my plants.

It's been so hot and dry lately that they're not doing so well.

So I gave them some water, some sunshine,

and a little extra love.

So how are you and Star going to stay cool today?

We're going to play with Chelsea and Carlos

in the courtyard in the shade.

Plus, I'll be wearing my sun hat.

Meet you outside.

Now, remember, in this game, we need to get to the shady spots

by taking slow, giant steps until I say,

"who made the shade?"

Then everyone has to stop in the shade.

If you land in a sunny spot, then you're it.

Ready?

Okey dokey.

Cool.

Go.

Who made the shade?

Ha, ha, I'm in the shade.

Ah, bananas.

You're it, Carlos.

Ready, go.

Who made the shade?

Ah, you're both in the shade.

Oh, I wanted to be it.

Wait.

Looks like you're it, Nina.

Hey, tree, whose side are you on?

It's on my side.

Uh, oh, more leaves fell off that branch.

That's strange.

The leaves shouldn't be falling.

It's not even autumn.

What do you mean?

Where I come from, leaves only fall

during one season of the year, autumn,

not summer like it is now.

Do you think our tree is sick?

Could be.

These leaves sure look sad and crinkly.

Oh, no, a sick tree, that's not good.

I know. I really love this tree.

I learned how to scooter under it, like this.

And I've read lots of great books in this spot right here.

I remember having my first swinging

lesson under this tree.

[gasps] Sorry, tree.

We have to do something to make our tree better.

there's Abuelita.

She loves plants.

She'll know what to do.

Abuelita, our tree, it's not looking too good.

How do you keep your flowers so pretty?

Mis flores, well, watering helps.

Oh, so would watering work for trees too?

All living things need a little love and care.

Plants, like trees, need food, which they get from the sun,

water, and nutritious soil.

I read that in one of my books.

We should water the tree because the leaves are super dry.

Is there any water left in your watering can?

Only a little, but‐‐

Thank you, Abuelita.

OK, I'm going inside.

All this sun is making me wilt.

Here you go, tree, some nice, cold water.

I don't think that's enough.

I know where to get more water, the garden hose.

Oh, and I'll turn it on.

I don't think this is going to work.

Ready when you are.

Hold on, almost there.

OK, turn her on.

Hey, nothing's coming out.

Are you sure you turned it on?

Yeah, it's on.

That's what I was worried about.

My dad said they had to shut off the tap because it's so dry,

and we have to be careful about how much water we use.

But where else can we get water?

[gasps] My wading pool, Mami set

it up for us to go swimming.

But how are we going to get the tree to swim in the pool?

How about we bring the pool to the tree?

Come on.

I never knew water was so heavy.

I don't think we can do this without a tow truck

or something.

What about the bucket?

Look, the roots must be drinking up the water.

Ah, it's not working.

Ah, the sun is shining, so the tree has lots of food.

And we gave it some water.

What else did Abuelita say the tree needed?

Oh, loving care.

Maybe we can talk to it the way Abuelita talks to her plants.

I don't know what to say to a tree, but I can read to it.

I'll go get my book.

And I know just what I can do too.

Be right back.

"The dinosaur looked down and heard a little lizard call out,

'I wish I was as‐‐'

There, nice and cozy.

When I'm sick, my abuelita makes me feel better

by wrapping me in a blanket.

I bet that's what she means by loving care.

"And so the mighty dinosaur carried the tiny lizard

up the mountain."

That's an interesting book you're reading to the tree.

Your attention, please.

I would like to perform this get well soon

dance for our old oak tree.

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, watch me dance, tree.

It's a short little tune, so you'll get well real soon.

Not bad, but the tree wants to hear the rest of my story.

Now, where was I?

Oh, yeah, "up the mountain the dinosaur climbed.

A tiny lizard kept watch around."

Psst, Nina, I want to help the tree too.

What can I do?

Hm, well, your hugs always make me feel better.

Maybe you can give the tree a great big hug too.

Yeah, I'll even add a snuggle and a cuddle.

Good thinking.

"Over there," said the lizard.

[music playing]

NINA: Oh, oh, I think it's working.

Aw, it doesn't look better yet.

Quick, let's all hug the tree.

Oh, no, the clouds, they're stopping the sunshine.

Now the tree's going to get hungry.

[thunder]

Yikes.

Come on, everybody, inside.

You shouldn't be outside when there's thunder and lightning.

I hope the tree will be OK.

Ey!

Do‐‐ do you think that the tree's

afraid of the‐‐ the thunder and lightning?

NINA: I hope not.

Be brave, tree.

We'll be back as soon as the storm stops.

Look. I don't believe it.

Some of the leaves aren't droopy anymore.

Yeah, even the branches look greener.

The birds are back.

The tree must be feeling better.

Yep, this tree is super duper Jupiter healthy again.

We did it.

Hurray for the tree.

Nuestro arbol es tan hermoso.

Yes, it is so beautiful.

I'm going to draw a picture of it.

I think the tree needed a lot of water to feel better.

You mean that scary storm helped the tree?

It did.

But you three were also very important to our tree.

You helped it by bringing it some water.

But not as much water as the rain.

Hm, what about our hugs and Carlos's story?

Did that help the tree?

Don't forget my awesome dance.

Of course it did.

I knew the tree loved my dinosaur book.

She was talking about my dance.

When we love something, we want to take care of it.

That's what you, Chelsea, and Carlos did.

So yes, your love helped save the tree too.

And if you continue to take care of it‐‐

The tree will stay healthy and strong.

[music playing]

Mm, te quiero, arbol.

I heard that you really took care of our arbol viejo.

It's been here for a long time, even when

I moved here as a little girl.

And now, it's an arbol hermoso.

I agree, Nina.

Now I have to take care of a fish who needs food and water

and a little extra loving care.

BOTH: Hush, hush, little fish, we are here to make a wish.

We close our eyes and then we start to make

a wish with all our heart.

Buenas noches, Nina.

It's too bad the tree can't come in the house with us.

I like cuddling with it.

Me too, Star.

But the tree will be waiting for us in the morning.

Buenas noches, Star.

Buenas noches, mundo.
