A Visit with Koko the Gorilla | Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

Mister Rogers recalls his visit with Koko the Gorilla and her friend Penny. Koko uses sign language to communicate with people. During their visit, Mister Rogers, Penny, and Koko list what they have in common, such as their hands, feet, eyes, ears, and teeth. Mister Rogers learns to make Koko's special "happy sound," and the two play peek-a-boo together. Throughout the visit, Koko shares a few of the signs she knows with Mister Rogers, including the sign for her favorite color, red. Mister Rogers remarks on how much Koko can do with her hands, including tickle, untie shoes, and hold his hand. Mister Rogers shares how, when you like someone, you often want to learn as much about them as you can.
