Our VO question this week is all about getting the best out of kids when they're in the booth (and what you should and shouldn't do as a parent of those kids!)

Script 2

Gather around, chuggers, I have some good news!

The Mayor is holding a special ceremony at the docks tomorrow to launch a brand new cargo ship.

And it’s important that she gets to the ceremony on time. // So, the Mayor has decided which train will pick her up and take her there.

She’s chosen... Koko!

Yes, you, Koko. You’re the fastest trainee. And I told the Mayor you’re a very responsible chugger.
