I adore dinosaurs

Octave shows Marys the drawing he's done for the cover of a book about dinosaurs. Tyrannosaurus, brachiosaurus, herbivore: the words might seem complicated but they provide the perfect inspiration for a nursery rhyme.

Duck-billed platypus

Octave is completely out of breath when he gets to Maryse's door, he's just run a marathon. Maryse immediately writes a nursery rhyme to congratulate her friend on his achievement.

The weather rap

Maryse is wondering about the weather, whether it'll rain, whether it won't, blue sky, grey sky... And suddenly she's begun to rap about the weather!

Water is life!

Octave arrives at Maryse's with a very strange object: a water butt to collect rainwater. So precious for us and for fish, water inspires Maryse to write a new nursery rhyme.

Glue, glue, glue

Maryse asks Octave a riddle: what is her nursery rhyme about? A bowl of sticky stuff and pasty paste... Yes, it's all about glue.

Tick-tock

Maryse is looking for her alarm clock. When she finds it, its tick-tock sound inspires her to write a nursery rhyme to sing when getting ready to go out.
