[narrator] The babies are just waking up from their nap.
They need to wake up now because today is a very special day.
It's my birthday!
Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday, happy birthday! Happy birthday to me!
[all] Happy birthday!
Thanks!
I wanna play outside for my birthday!
[Bailey] Oh. Um...
Actually, Franny, maybe we should go to the playroom.
The playroom... Why?
I wanna climb on the jungle gym!
Well... Climbing is fun, but maybe we should go to the playroom instead?
Yeah Franny, let's go to the playroom to get your ca--
Shh!
-My what? -Nothing.
[narrator] The babies have something to show Franny in the playroom.
Okay. But since it's my birthday, can I decide how we get to the playroom?
-[all] Okay! -[Lulu] Franny's birthday!
Then let's take the Bubble Train!
[Kip] Hi, kitchen!
[Lulu] Caboose!
Hi, my favorite tree!
[all] Hi, Word Wally!
Boy, I sure loved that birthday Bubble Train!
-What? -Surprise, Franny!
-[Kip] Happy birthday, Franny! -[Lulu] Happy birthday!
-For me? -[all] Yeah!
Thank you! What's inside?
Well, open it and see!
Okay. Um...
Wow!
The most beautiful birthday cake ever!
Oh, I wish it were my birthday.
Then I could have a whole cake all to myself.
Kip, eating a whole birthday cake would give you a tummy ache.
I know, because I tried it.
And it's no fun to eat all by yourself.
I want to share my birthday cake with my friends!
-[Lulu] Cake for me? -[Kip] Yeah!
[all] Stickety Bot!
Am I getting a sticker? Am I getting a sticker?
[narrator] Franny gets a sticker
for wanting to share her birthday cake with her friends.
It's a balloon sticker!
Perfect for my birthday!
Thanks, Stickety Bot!
-[Kip] Bye, Stickety Bot! -[Lulu] Bye-bye!
Oh, boy! I'm gonna put this on the sticker chart.
There!
[Franny gasps]
My cake!
Kip! Kip, don't take a bite out of Franny's cake!
I thought we were sharing.
We are, but I have to cut the cake first. So we each get a piece.
Oh... Got it.
I want a flower! Please! Flower.
And I'd like extra frosting, please.
Can you make my piece really big!
Okay, okay! Everyone's gonna get a piece! Okay?
Now, how do I cut this cake?
I don't know.
[Kip] Hey! Look, it's the Whatsit Toy!
Maybe the Whatsit Toy can help me cut the cake!
Yeah. Help us eat cake, Whatsit Toy!
[Kip] We're gonna get you!

[Franny] Whatsit Toy! Come back!
[all] Whatsit Toy!
[Franny] I'm gonna get you!
Stop!
-You get it, Franny. -Okay.
Ooh... What is it?
It's a cake cutter.
Thank you, Whatsit Toy!
Bye, Whatsit Toy!
Okay.
I think I should cut this cake in half.
Mmm. What does that mean?
That means cutting the whole cake
into two pieces that are both the same size.
Like this. Let's see.
Okay!
Did it!
Good job, Franny!
Eat it now?
Ooh! This is my piece! Nice and big!
Wait, Kip!
We should all have the same size piece of cake.
And there are one, two, three, four of us
and only one, two pieces of cake.
That's not enough pieces.
Cake?
Sorry, Lulu.
I want to eat the cake too, but I need to cut more pieces,
and I'm not sure how to cut them so that they're the same size.
[narrator] Franny has already cut the cake into two halves.
Now she needs to cut it again to make four quarters.
Right. Quarters. Of course.
Good old quarters...
What's... What's a quarter?
I have no idea!
What do I do?
We have to learn what a quarter is if we're ever gonna eat this cake.
Word Wally?
[all gasp]
[all] Word Wally!
[Bailey trumpets]
-[Franny] There he goes! -[Kip] We need your help!
[Kip] We need your help!
[narrator] The babies are here to learn words
for different pieces of Franny's birthday cake.
-And you can help us! -Let's start!
Hey big kids, what's the word for when the cake is one big piece?
Before Franny cut it.
[drum roll]
[big kids] Whole!
Uh-huh. Yep! Yum yum!
I really think I could eat a whole cake.
-[all] No! -[Bailey] It's too much!
Franny cut her cake into two equal pieces.
Each of these pieces is called a...
[drum roll]
[big kids] ...half!
There are two halves in a whole.
-Franny's so smart! -[proudly] Well...
[Franny] Oh, look!
That piece of cake is a half of a half.
What's that size piece called, big kids?
[drum roll]
[big kids] Quarter!
A quarter!
There are four quarters in a whole cake.
Four pieces.
[narrator] That's right. And, each piece of the cake is also called a fraction.
Fraction.
I love birthday fractions!
I think it may be time to eat my cake.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
But first we need to have a...
word party!
Yeah!

A quarter for you.

[Franny] And one for me!

[chewing noises]
This sure is a delicious fraction!
