#133: Tingo's Crush
Tingo has a huge crush on his teacher, Ms. Huong, and wants to do a good job on his homework for her. Suddenly, Tingo realizes that...his backpack with all of his schoolwork is missing! Niki searches all over the house with him, but they still can't find it. Finally, the doorbell rings...it's Ms. Huong! Much to Tingo's delight, she has brought his backpack. Ms. Huong stays for a while to play some basketball with Niki and Tingo.

#134: Still Life Without Fruit
Tingo and Niki are spending the day painting. Niki wants to paint a picture of a bowl of fruit, but Tingo is hungry and wants to eat the fruit instead. While Niki is busy at her easel, Tingo sneaks more and more fruit out of the bowl to eat until there is nothing left. When their pictures are done, Niki has painted an empty bowl, while Tingo is still hungry for lunch!

#135: Here in Right Field
Niki is trying her best to teach Tingo how to catch, but Tingo is not doing very well. He gets hit on the head with the ball; he crashes into a wall...he just can't seem to get the hang of it. Tingo is a bit dejected and about to give up when Niki offers him lunch. She tosses him an apple...and he catches it! She tosses him grapes and a banana...and he catches them too!

#136: Niki for President
Niki is running in an election to become President of her school. She is nervous about the speech she will have to deliver to all of the students. Tingo tries to help her calm down by teaching her a song about...hopping! Tingo and Niki hop all over the house while singing and -- it works! -- Niki feels less scared. She goes to school and wins the election...but starts hopping again when she remembers all of the work she'll have to do as President!

#137: Snack Attack
Niki is throwing a birthday party for her friend, Stu. The pizza arrives before the party begins, and Jake wants to have a snack. Niki and Tingo explain to him that they need to save the pizza for the party. Later, Niki and Tingo just can't help themselves -- they want a snack too! But this time, it's Jake who stops them -- with a hilarious song telling them not to eat the pizza. Thanks to Jake, there's enough pizza for everyone at the party!

#138: Tingo the Superstar
A movie director asks Niki to be in his next film! Tingo begs for a role too and is reluctantly given a small part. On the set of the film, Tingo can't seem to follow directions (try as he might!) and causes the director a lot of frustration. When Niki and Tingo finally watch the finished movie, they discover that Tingo is not in the film after all, and Niki only has one line. Tingo, however, still thinks she is a star!

#139: Dance with Me
Niki is entered in a dance contest, but her partner suddenly can't go. Now what will she do? Tingo offers to be her new partner, auditioning for her by dancing wildly (and hilariously!) all around the room. Niki gives him a chance and teaches him how to do the cha-cha. When they arrive at the contest, Tingo is afraid that he is not as good as the other contestants. But despite flying off stage at one point and causing a huge crash, Tingo is great. Niki and Tingo win the contest!

#140: Tall, Taller, Tallest!
Niki is doing some redecorating in the house, and Tingo is helping her. Unfortunately, Tingo thinks he's too short -- he can't reach a high shelf, and he can't hold a picture up on the wall for Niki to see. But Tingo has an idea -- platform shoes! Wearing the shoes, Tingo is certainly tall (even if he can't really balance or walk!). Finally resigned to being his own height, Tingo is asked by his friend Izzy, a mouse, to help him get a kite out of a bush. In comparison to Izzy, Tingo is not so short after all!
