A tiny three-line story about a bee, a frog and a balloon starts out quiet. Then the sound words Buzz!, Splash! and Pop! are added one at a time as each picture makes its noise. The video names these as sound words, shows that each one sounds like the noise it names, and ends with children saying all three aloud.
