The Hoobs are here to find out all about Peeps and Tiddlypeeps, which makes them wonder how Tiddlypeeps find things out. Along the way they also discover how many hoobnips fit in a tart tin, how to give Roma the Hoobyhics and how much fun you can have with something soft and squidgy. By the time they get to Hoob News one thing they've found out is just how much there is to find out!
The Hoobs would like to give a monkey something to make him happy - but what? It seems that a monkey already has everything they try. Only when they've finally found out and they go back to their monkey book does it turns out that the answer was right there in front of them all along!
Groove thinks there can't be a better way of saying hello than giving his tail a good old wagga-wagga - it's almost as good as a Hoobledigger! But how do the Tiddlypeeps say hello to their friends when they're really pleased to see them? They find out how Queens say hello and Roma even says hello to some rugby players but in the end the Tiddlypeeps teach them the nicest hello of all!
Nothing makes a Hoob laugh like a hoobledangler. And Tiddlypeeps laugh at all sorts of strange things but they don't don't find hoobledanglers funny at all. So what would make a Hoob AND a Tiddlypeep laugh? The Hoobs try to laugh at things in crackers, things you sit on and Peeps who fall over. But in the end it's something much simpler that's funny enough to make Groove drop his plank!
Stars are just about Iver's favourite things - along with questions for Hoob News! Roma tells them about a star they can see in the daytime and the Tiddlypeeps show them how they can make one. But when Hubba Hubba sends them a story from Hoobnet, the Hoobs find out just what it is that really makes a star a star!
The Hoobs miss floating on the water in a Hooblebobber. There aren't any Hooblebobbers on the Peep planet but maybe they can find something that floats in just the same way.
Groove doesn't fancy the idea of running - too much effort! But what happens if the Hoobmobile goes off without him - he'll have to catch it up somehow!
Something's wrong with Iver - first he's hot, then he's cold and his nose is making a very strange sound indeed! Maybe the Tiddlypeeps will know the answer.
Iver's lost his hoobtoobe and can't find it anywhere. But every solution the Hoobs find seems to be about helping you not to lose it in the first place!
There's nothing like a Hoobyhidey for hiding behind. The Peeps seem to have Hoobyhideys too. But they don't use them for hiding... so what do Peeps use Hoobyhideys for?
The hoobytug is broken. And you can't have a good pull with a broken hoobytug. There must be something on the Peep planet the Hoobs can use to fix it - but what?
A Hoobs home is his Hoobmobile. It's hoobacious - you can live in it and take it around with you wherever you go. But what other animal has a home like that?
Tula's having a bad hoobyfur day. Hoobyfur is hoobelly groobelly but sometimes you just want it to do something else. What can Tula do to make hers more exciting?
There's nothing better than a good Hooblegaze. But it gets a bit chilly here on the Peep planet. So how can the Hoobs keep warm while they're Hooblegazing?
Groove's collection of things that move is Hoobygroovy. He's got things that shake, things that shudder and things that spin. But it won't be complete until he finds something that wobbles.
What do you do when you've ruined Groove's best ever painting of an "Icecream-asaurus?" And how do you stop him finding out before you've made it right?
If a Hoob can't find their Hoobarama, then a Hoob can't play Hoobarama. Is there anything soft, round and flat on the Peep planet that they can use instead?
Teeth are usually found in mouths - not in old bits of boat. But where has this tooth stuck in a bit of wood that Groove's found come from? And what are teeth for anyway?
