Suma y Resta con Montoya



In this Plaza Sésamo video, its Bodoque's birthday, and Montoya wants to give him a surprise party. Human friend Marcela helps with the preparations, but needs to know how old Bodoque will be. Montoyo knows how many birthdays he's had but can't combine them, so Marcela teaches Montoya addition and subtraction with the aid of spoons, oranges, plates, and other items. Bodoque shows up, and Montoya has to hide the party plans for him, but they eventually have to tell him. Marcela burns the cake, but Bodoque prefers it that way.
