Ruff!

Super job, Super Readers!

Hi, Woofster!

Ruff!

Ruff!

Help!

I need help!

[yelping] Another puppy's in trouble!

[Yipping] It's me, Dot!

I'm stuck on a lake.

A treacherous lake!

To the treacherous lake!

Let's roll!

[Dot howling] What does 'treacherous' mean?

'Treacherous,' means: not safe, risky or dangerous!

'Treacherous!'

Now we know what it means!

Woof-de-doo!

Give your tail a wag!

So... we're going to a treacherous, lake?

On purpose?

[gulps] We have to save the puppy!

Let's find that treacherous lake!

SUPER WHY: Where's the treacherous lake?

KIDS: There!

There's the lake...look at those waves!

So dangerous, and treacherous!

[gasp!]

And there's the puppy!

There are so many trees in the way... how will we get to the lake to save the puppy?

Cue the sparkles!

Cue the music!

Princess Presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand I can spell the word PATH and make a path, through the trees, to the treacherous lake!

Ready?

Spell 'path' with me!

What letter makes the sound /p/?

KIDS: 'P'!

'P'!

Wands up!

Write a lowercase 'p' with me!

A lowercase 'p' looks like this!

P!

What letter makes the sound /a/?

KIDS: 'A'!

'A'!

Write a lowercase 'a' with me.

'A'!

Now, what letters make the sound /th/.

The sound /th/ is made by putting the letters 't' and 'h' together.

Write a lowercase 't' and 'h' with me.

Let's start with 't'... ...then 'h.'

'th'.

P-A-T-H.

Path.

Presto!

Spectacular spelling!

We spelled path and made a path to the treacherous lake.

And there's the puppy!

[gasp!]

Oh my peas!

Let's take a quick bow and get to that puppy.

Down the path we go!

Ruff!

Ruff!

Nice work, Super Readers!

[yipping] There's Dot!

Help!

Help!

Owoooooo!

Woofster - to the rescue!

Woof, Woof, woof!

I've got you.

[yipping] I can't look.

I can't look!

Okay, just a tiny look.

Ruff!

[happy howls] [they cheer] [Dot howls happily] Outta sight!

Do that again!

[Woofster laughs] All right, one more time.

[laughter] [all giggling] Did ya see me?

Didja?

Didja?

I flipped with Woofster!

[Woof!

Woof!]

Oh wow, that was just amazing, like WOW!

Now that these puppies are safe, let's find Super Puppy!

Wait!

There's still one puppy in trouble.

[gasp] Oh yeah!

[nervous yipping and yelping] Where's Piper?!

[Piper yips & howls] There she is!

I see her!

She's on top of that mountain.

That mountain looks enormous!

AND treacherous!

That's not a mountain.

That's a volcano.

And volcanos have lava.

'Lava'?

W-w-w-what's 'lava'?

'Lava'.

'Lava,' is burning hot, liquid rock!

Ruff!

Now we know what it means.

Where is Super Puppy when you need him?!

Don't move, Piper!

Here I coooooommmmmme!

[whines] Ouch!

[whines!]

Too hot!

I can't rescue the puppy with the hot lava in the way.

But there's nothing we can do, look at our story!

What will we do to save Piper??

[frightened yipping] Super Why... to the rescue!

With the power to read, I can change this story and save the day!

Let's change the word 'lava' in this sentence.

Zzzzap!

Why Writer... write!

The lava is too 'hot'.

What is the opposite of 'hot'?

KIDS: Cold!

Cold!

Which of these is cold: 'bees', 'snow', or 'popcorn'?

KIDS: Snow!

Let's try 'snow'.

Where's the word 'snow'?

It starts with an 's.'

KIDS: There!

There!

Zzzap!

Zzap!

Let's read our new sentence.

PUPPIES: Wow!

Snow!

Neat!

Woofster... to the rescue!

Snow is sensational!!

Which means greeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaat!

C'mon, piper - I got ya!

[they cheer] Did changing 'lava' to 'snow' help Woofster save the last puppy?

KIDS: Yes!

Yes!

Super job, Super Readers!

We changed the story and saved the day!

Thank you, Woofster!

Woof-de-dooooo!

PUPPY: Hey, it's Woofster!

Jimmy: Well, tempo is the speed of a song.

Kenny: That's right.

Two common words used to describe tempo are allegro and adagio.

Right!

Allegro means fast and adagio means slow.

Hey, let's play some music that is allegro!

THAT is a good idea!

PINKALICIOUS: "Plantastically Pink."

PINKALICIOUS (voiceover): I'm waiting for a very important delivery.

It should be here any minute!

(doorbell chimes) It's here!

It's here!

(gasps) What is it, Pinkalicious?

Something I've been waiting for for a very long time.

Oh, I remember when we ordered it.

Ordered what?

I wonder what it looks like.

What what looks like?

A Pinkabloom seed!

What's a Pinkabloom?

The prettiest, most pinkatastic flower in the whole wide world!

Wow!

I'm going to grow it in the backyard.

It's going to be pinkaperfect.

I wish I had a Pinkabloom seed, too.

You can help me plant mine, if you want.

Really?

(giggling) We have to find the perfect spot for the Pinkabloom.

How about there?

PINKALICIOUS: Hmm... too shady.

Pinkablooms need a lot of sun.

There?

PINKALICIOUS: Too crowded!

Pinkablooms need a lot of room to grow.

Ooh!

There!

Perfect!

Come on!

PINKALICIOUS: That should be big enough.

Seed, please.

Here you go.

Grow big and strong, little seed.

Can I cover it up?

Yes.

But be very gentle.

Now, we wait for the Pinkabloom to grow.

How long do we have to wait?

Not long.

The Pinkabloom will start to grow any minute now, and when it does, oh, it'll be pinkatastic.

What are you two staring at?

You trying to hypnotize worms or something?

Oh, hi, Kendra!

We just planted a Pinkabloom seed.

It'll be here any minute now.

I doubt it.

Flowers take a very long time to grow.

Not the Pinkabloom.

The Pinkabloom is different.

We just need to water it, and... (gasps) We forgot to water it!

See?

What did I tell you?

Flowers don't grow that quickly.

Not even Pinkablooms.

Come on, Pinkabloom!

Why won't you grow?

What are you doing?

I read somewhere that plants like it when you talk to them.

Ha!

The next thing you know, you'll be singing to it.

Great idea, Kendra!

Plants love that, too!

Singing to plants?

Now I've heard everything!

It's worth a try.

(clears throat) Come on Pinkabloom, it's time to grow There's no need to be so slow It's working!

It was my idea!

Don't stop, Pinkalicious!

Grow, grow, Pinkabloom Grow up tall Be the prettiest flower of all That's amazing!

What's amazing?

Her flower grows when she sings to it!

It's called a Pinkabloom.

Watch!

Come on Pinkabloom, grow up high Grow until you touch the sky Wow!

Can I try?

Sure!

Grow tall, Pinkabloom, tall and strong Grow and grow when you hear my song ALL: (giggling) My turn!

Grow tall, Pinkabloom That's what I said Grow 'til you have clouds on your head Where's the flower?

It's supposed to have a flower.

It's inside that bud.

KENDRA: How come it's not blooming?

Maybe it needs to grow some more.

It's going to take forever for it to be as tall as the flower in the picture.

Maybe if I sing faster, it'll grow faster.

And then it will bloom, right?

Right!

(faster tempo): Come on Pinkabloom, it's time to grow There's no need to be so slow Grow more quickly, zoom, zoom, zoom I want to see a Pinkabloom bloom!

It's working!

Do it again.

What's working?

It's Pinkalicious's Pinkabloom, Mommy.

It grows when we sing to it.

And the faster we sing, the faster it grows.

Show her, Pinkalicious.

(slowly): Come on Pinkabloom It's time to grow There's no need to be so slow (speeding up): Grow more quickly Zoom, zoom, zoom!

I want to see a Pinkabloom bloom!

(gasps) That's amazing!

You made the tempo faster, and the Pinkabloom grew faster!

What's tempo?

Well, it's how fast or slow you play or sing music.

You mean like this?

(slowly): This is a slow tempo Slow tempo, slow tempo (speeding up): And now it's getting faster Faster, faster!

And now the tempo's really fast And now the tempo's really fast!

Really, really, really, really Really, really, really fast!

(laughter) Oh, Peter.

My turn!

(quickly): The Pinkabloom grows and grows and grows How tall will it be?

No one knows!

(singing faster): The Pinkabloom grows And grows and grows, how tall will it be?

No one knows!

(fast tempo): The Pinkabloom grows And grows and grows, how tall will it be?

No one knows!

And now, the fastest tempo of all!

The Pinkabloom grows and grows and grows How tall will it be?

No one knows!

(laughter) I think you can stop singing, Pinkalicious.

The plant is tall enough.

But it hasn't bloomed yet, Mommy.

It's supposed to look like this!

It's going to have beautiful pink petals, and it's going to smell so wonderful.

Then I guess you'd better keep singing.

Come on Pinkabloom, it's time to bloom I want you to bloom real soon...

It's never going to bloom!

And it's getting late.

I'd better head home.

Me, too.

See ya, guys!

(yawns) Time for bed, guys.

But the Pinkabloom still hasn't bloomed!

I have to keep singing!

Please, Daddy?

Tell you what.

Your bedroom's right up there.

How about you get ready for bed and sing from your window?

(gasps) I can help!

Maybe we can take turns... if you can stay awake.

I can stay awake.

(slowly): Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom Faster than a blink Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom, pink, pink, pink... (yawns) Your turn, Peter.

Peter?

PETER: (snoring) (yawning): I guess it's my turn again.

(very slowly): Come on Pinkabloom It's time to bloom I want you to bloom real soon... (yawns) Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom, faster than a blink Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom Pink, pink... (snores) (birds chirping) Wake up, sleepy heads.

(both yawn) I'm not a sleepyhead, Daddy!

I was up singing to the Pinkabloom all night.

(gasps) The Pinkabloom-- did it bloom?

Aww, I don't believe it!

It didn't bloom!

Not even a tiny bit.

But you sang and sang and sang and sang.

And sang really fast!

I know.

The fast tempo helps the Pinkabloom grow faster, but it doesn't make it bloom.

I guess I need to try something else.

Come on!

Hey, what... What about your hot chocolate?

Maybe the flower can't hear you inside that bud.

You might be right, Peter!

I'll try singing louder!

Come on Pinkabloom, it's time to bloom I want you to bloom real soon Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom, faster than a blink (coughs) (hoarsely): Pink, pink, pink You are not still singing to that plant!

I am, and I'll keep singing until it blooms.

(hoarsely): Come on, Pinkabloom It's time to bloom (coughing): I want you to bloom real soon But you're losing your voice.

I'll help you sing louder.

PINKALICIOUS and PETER: Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom Faster than a blink Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom Pink, pink, pink Look!

It's starting to bloom!

(clears throat) Maybe because Peter and I sang together.

It must like loud music!

If we all sing together, the song will be even louder!

Then, maybe it'll bloom even more.

ALL: Come on Pinkabloom It's time to bloom!

We want you to bloom real soon Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom, faster than a blink Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom, pink, pink, pink!

Almost there!

Maybe the tempo needs to be a teensy bit faster!

ALL: Come on Pinkabloom It's time to bloom We want you to bloom real soon Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom, faster than a blink Bloom, bloom, Pinkabloom, pink, pink, pink!

(cheering) PINKALICIOUS: It's even more beautiful than I imagined!

Mommy!

Daddy!

Come and see!

(gasp) Oh, wow, that is the pinkest Pinkabloom I've ever seen.

Have you ever seen a Pinkabloom?

Well... no.

But it's still the pinkest!

ALL: Pinkabloom, Pinkabloom Pretty as can be You have bloomed for my friends and me!

(cheering) PINKALICIOUS (voiceover): I am going to sing to all my flowers now and see what happens.

KIDS: That's artalicious!

I'm Caleb, this is Maggie.

Today, we're making paper bag kites.

CALEB: We need a paper bag, glue, markers, string, some tape, a straw, stuff to decorate with, and a ribbon for the tail.

I think we need holes for the string to go in.

Yeah!

Can you please do it for us?

Sure, I can.

CALEB: We asked my mom to punch holes in the kite, so that we can put the string through the holes.

We're going to tape the string to the kite so that the string doesn't slip out.

The kite will look super cool!

MAGGIE: I'm drawing a purple cloud.

CALEB: Nice.

We should make shapes out of the paper.

CALEB: Now we're adding a straw to the kite to keep the kite from bending.

MAGGIE: Can you please hold the... straw down?

Be careful, don't tape the string.

Okay, there we go.

Every kite needs a tail!

Let's see if it flies.

Three, two, one!

Go!

MAGGIE: (laughing) PINKALICIOUS: "Painting Pixie."

PINKALICIOUS (voiceover): Today, Peter and I are going outside to play.

I just need to find my tiara... Peter!

Have you seen my tiara?

No tiara here!

Found it!

All right!

(gasps) What's this?

It's a little painting... on my tiara?

(giggling) Peter, did you paint this?

It's so cute!

No!

It wasn't me.

Can you please tie my shoe?

(gasping): Look at that!

Hey!

I've got a painting on my shoe!

But, who painted it?

Maybe Daddy did.

He likes to surprise us.

Come on!

Daddy!

Daddy!

I found a painting on my shoe!

And I found one on my tiara!

Paintings?

Really?

Look!

Did you paint them?

I wish I did, but it wasn't me.

I've been making spaghetti sauce all morning.

(slurps) It needs something... hmm.

Look at this!

Another painting!

Who could be making all these little surprise paintings?

Maybe it was Mommy!

Hey, you're never going to believe this.

I found a little painting on my toothpaste!

Ha!

If Mommy and Daddy didn't make these pinkapretty paintings... Who did?

Oh!

Rafael is a really good artist.

Maybe he made them.

Let's go ask him!

Whoa!

Rafael!

Check this out!

It's a little painting of a puppy.

(barks) You didn't paint it?

Me?

No!

Hmm...

Someone's been leaving little paintings in strange places.

Like on my shoe.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, we don't know who it is.

But we're going to find out!

Oh, I wish I could help you... (panting, barks) ...but I really need to take Rusty for his walk.

(all giggling) Okay.

(giggling) See you later!

Hey, look at this painting!

(laughs) The painter's been here!

We must be on the right track!

Hmm... no sign of the painter here.

Do you think he... Or she.

...is hiding?

Maybe we can get her to come out.

How?

Peter!

Give me your shoe.

My shoe?

The painter likes putting paintings on the bottom of shoes, right?

(gasps) We found you!

Oh!

Sorry!

We didn't mean to startle you.

I'm Pinkalicious, and this is my brother, Peter.

Hi, I'm Penelope.

Are you the artist who's been leaving little paintings everywhere?

(laughing): That's me!

I'm a Painting Pixie!

BOTH: A Painting Pixie?

What's a Painting Pixie?

Painting Pixies surprise people with art.

See, it makes them happy, and that makes us happy.

Oh!

You're doing a really good job!

You're putting art in all kinds of surprising places.

Thanks.

(giggles) But I'm actually a junior Painting Pixie...

I'm trying to earn my big pixie wings.

See, right now, I can only fly this high.

But once I get my big wings, I'll be able to fly way up to the sky!

How do you get your big pixie wings?

Well, first, I have to paint pictures on all of these canvases.

And then, I have to find surprising places to put them before the sun sets tonight.

Then I'll get my big pixie wings!

That's a lot of paintings, Penelope.

Where are you going to put them all?

You can put art almost anywhere!

A picture here A picture there, but not where you would think It could be in the attic or the bottom of the sink Underneath a pillow case or in a pickle jar A painting can go anywhere Like on your handlebar Painting Pixies leave A pleasing picture in a place That's sure to make you laugh and put a smile upon your face Art goes almost anywhere, not just on the wall And unexpected places are the very best of all And unexpected places are the very best of all (both gasp) Can you even put a painting on a cupcake?

Why not?

This is fun, I want to try I think I know a space Underneath my favorite cap Now that's a funny place!

On a picnic blanket, and in the basket, too Beneath a four leaf clover Even on my kazoo!

ALL: Painting Pixies leave a pleasing picture in a place That's sure to make you laugh And put a smile upon your face Art goes almost anywhere, not just on the wall And unexpected places are the very best of all And unexpected places are the very best of all!

Now I just have to find surprising places for all these paintings.

Maybe under this rock?

I guess I already put a painting here.

I already put one here too.

(groans) I've already put paintings in every surprising place in Pinkville!

What am I going to do?

If I don't find a lot more surprising places soon, I won't get my big pixie wings!

Maybe Peter and I can help.

I might not be a pixie, but I know lots of surprising spots in Pinkville.

And I love art!

I want to help, too!

I would love some help.

Thank you!

Let's go!

There's one painting left.

So, we only need one more surprising place.

PENELOPE: But, we have to hurry, the sun is going to set soon.

The Plums!

They're artists!

They love art.

Come on!

Oh, Pinkalicious!

Peter!

You're just in time!

We're decorating our studio.

We're putting art everywhere.

Maybe you can help us.

Sure, we'd love to.

How are we going to find a place to surprise them?

There's art everywhere in here.

We'll find someplace, Peter.

We have to!

Ooh!

How about here?

Good idea, Pinkalicious.

This vase needs to be painted.

(groans) Peter, you're a genius!

This mirror could use a little art!

(laughs) Plummy!

Let's paint the ceiling, too!

Yes!

Ugh!

There's already a painting here!

Here, too!

Even the trash has art on it!

There's no place else to put a painting!

Oh, Penelope.

We're so sorry.

We really wanted to help you get your Pixie wings.

That's okay.

Thank you for trying.

We just can't find any surprising place to put your painting.

The Plums put art on everything!

If we stay here another minute, they might put art on us, too.

(gasps) That's it!

PENELOPE and PETER: Huh?

Oh, Mr. and Mrs.

Plum!

(gasps) Look at that sunset!

(gasps) Are you surprised?

(laughing): I'll say we are!

Why didn't we think of that?

(cheering) You did it!

You surprised them!

Penelope!

Your wings!

They're growing!

Oh, I can't believe it!

I'm an official Painting Pixie!

I couldn't have done it without you.

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you!

Now I've got my big wings!

Look how high I can fly!

PINKALICIOUS and PETER: Wow!

Wait until the other pixies see my big, beautiful wings!

Bye, Pinkalicious!

Bye, Peter!

Bye, Penelope!

When will you be back?

(laughs) I'll surprise you!

PINKALICIOUS (voiceover): What a pinkatastic day!

I never knew how fun it could be to put art everywhere.
