Plot[]

Today is a snow day. Kai-Lan puts on her winter parka and goes outside to play in the snow. She slides down snow hills that she runs up. At one hill, she sees ice sculptures of animals, such as pigs, horse, and chicken. She meets Ye-Ye back down one of the snowy hills shoveling snow, who he then gives Kai-Lan a sleigh to slide down the hills. Riding the sleigh, she first stops at Mei Mei on a swing, looking sad. Mei Mei is scared about going too high on the swings. Mr. Fluffy tells her to take it "little by little" before going higher on the swing, which makes Mei Mei not scared anymore.

Continuing onward, Kai-Lan meets Hoho, who was playing in the snow, as well as Tolee and Rintoo, who were making a snowman. They all then run up the tall hill to sleigh, Tolee though worries about going too high. On the way up to the hill, they see spots without snow. Kai-Lan calls Lulu via her song and then Lulu helps out via grabbing buckets of snow to fill the spots. Everyone continues upward, and they all go see the ice sculptures in the distance. Tolee, however, is afraid of heights, and runs back down the hill.

Tolee says that he still wants to go sledding, but he's afraid of heights. Suddenly, Mr. Fluffy and Mei are using an anchor and two sleighs to push the swing set across the snow. Mei Mei says that she isn't even scared of swinging high anymore, which before she was afraid off. Kai Lan gets an idea; "when something's really scary, don't try it all at once; try it little, by little, by little."

Kai-Lan, after realizing what to do, tells Tolee that they will start on the smaller hills. Everyone then sleds down on the first hill, Tolee isn't even afraid. They start sliding down hill by hill, and Tolee still doesn't give up. After going down the biggest hill, everyone goes to see the ice sculptures. Ye-Ye arrives, with soup bowls for everyone.

Goofs[]

  • Kai-Lan's "Let's go-go" line is cropped very poorly and is mis-pitched.
