Aaron the Aardvark's Scary, Hairy, Meal

Aaron the Aardvark has a special treat: A meal with his parents at his favorite cafe. He notices an aardvark with a different color fur. He is scared -- and concerned for the other aardvark. He makes a loud and squealy scene.

His parents quietly explain the ways that aardvarks can be different but the same.

Later, they discuss the importance of Inside Voices.
