[upbeat music]

[Susie] I've never been on this street 'afore.

Last time my daddy took me somewhere I didn't know,

our car got pulled into a building

and was nearly eaten by a giant mop.

Oh, that's the car washer.

It gets rid of all the bird poop and...

[gasps]

What's wrong, Lil?

Todd Jr. doesn't like to hear about...

[whispers]...birds. Right, buddy?

I forgoted.

Also, don't mention fishing, or hooks,

or wormy-eating monsters, or...

[together] Lil!

[Didi] You kids are going to love this place.

[upbeat music]

Welcome to the library.

Didi, it's been 18 months since your last visit.

Not me. I'm a card-carrying member.

Hi, everyone.

Ooh, may I use the magic beeper on your card, Ms. Betty?

- I'm helping my mama today. - Go for it, Kimi.

I just don't want to find out I have any overdue books.

Speaking of overdue, Dil needs a diaper change.

Kira, where's the restroom?

Oh, oh, I'll show you.

Kimi, why don't you take your friends

to the children's section?

And wait till you see the best part!

[Lil] Oh, this has to be the bestest part!

Not yet, Lil.

Ta-da!

Storytime with Booky the Bookworm!

He's coming to read to us today.

Isn't he kind of big for a worm?

Don't worry, Chuckie. I'm sure he's nice.

He's the nicest worm I've ever met.

He sings and tells jokes, and then he reads us a new book.

Whoa. Need a minute.

This is the firstest time I'm hearing that worms can read.

Where are my banners? This is my friend, Todd Jr. Todd, Kimi.

- Kimi, Todd. - Oh, hello.

- Is he a bookworm, too? - Mm-mm.

Phillip founded him in the mud puddle.

Is that where little bookworms live?

Uh, maybe. I'm not sure.

Oh, I'll be right back.

I like to help my mama and pass out the pillows.

Good news, Todd Jr. If Booky can read, so can you.

Um...

I'm not sure that's how it works.

Sure it is, Susie. Watch this.

There's a pig and a cow and a goat.

Go ahead, buddy. Read what happens next.

Oh, he probably just wants me to turn the page.

Ah, scary chicken!

No good.

See, he just had to get closer

and not read about beaky animals.

Sure. Um, is he going to read to us now?

[scoffs] Tommy, it's only his first day.

He's going to grow up to be just like Booky.

And I knew him back when he was eating dirt.

Never forget where you came from, Todd Jr.

- [laughs] - [Booky] Ahem.

Booky, thank you for coming. The kids are so excited.

As am I. Booky the Bookworm, charmed.

Betty the... uh... no catchy title.

And this is Didi and Dil.

What light shines upon thy face.

- [shrieks] - Oh, it's OK.

- It's OK. - No, no good?

All right, then.

I'll just go get into character.

Ah, my new intro.

OK, everyone, we're starting.

[clears throat] Lady bugs and gentle moths,

get your listening ears ready

because we're about to wiggle and giggle

with Booky the Bookworm.

Ha, ha, ha!

Hello, children.

It is I.

If creepy crawly things can grow big and dance,

what's next, cereal comes to life?

Sneakers run away?

Our audience is welcome to come up

and take pictures with Booky before he starts reading.

[both] Yay!

[gasps]

Smile, pups.

[camera shutter clicks]

Aw. [chuckles]

Bye for now.

Booky's even squishier up close.

What did Todd Jr. think?

This was the best day of his life!

He got to meet his hero.

Right, buddy?

Uh, Lillian, was I holding Todd Jr.

when I high-fiveded Booky?

No. Does your hand feel wormy?

Oops. I must have left him back on the pillow.

[shouts]

Uh, nope.

Nope.

[grunts] Ooh. Uhh.

Isn't Booky the greatest?

Todd Jr.'s gone!

He runned away!

Worms can run?

Ah, Phil, it's been a big day.

He probably just crawled under a pillow to take a nap.

Nope, I looked everywhere.

He's gone because of me.

But you're his best friend. Why would he leave you?

Maybe because I left him behind when I had the chance

to meet a big, important worm like Booky,

or maybe because I was asking him to read so much.

We'll find him. I mean, how far could he have crawled?

Oh, Booky still has some kids to meet.

When he's about to read a story, my mama rings two bells.

Come on. I know every corner in the library.

- I'll help you look. - I'll stay and fix the pillows for you, Kimi.

I'll stay, too, in case Todd Jr. comes back.

Today, I'm a bookworm.

Tomorrow, I star in my one-man, all-puppet production

of Hamlet. Ah, the arts.

I guess first we need to figure out

what Todd Jr. likes to do.

This. I call it wiggling.

But where does he like to wiggle?

Dirt, of course.

Is it me, or are these easy questions?

Maybe he's in one of these.

[pot crashes]

This would be the bestest day of my life

if it weren't the worstest day of my life.

Ahh!

Are any of these Todd Jr.?

Are they moving?

Never mind.

This is the book drop. People bring books back through that crack that goes outside.

Do you think that he went outside?

- [bird chirping] - Bird!

I'm coming, Todd Jr.!

[grunting]

[gasping]

Hmm. No worm slime going out.

He must still be in the library.

[Susie] Phil, think.

If you were Todd Jr., what kind of books would you go see?

Shiny ones? Chunky ones?

Little ones?

I know!

I come here sometimes to look at pictures of flowers.

Maybe your friend did, too.

Ooh.

- [Susie] Where is that worm? - [pot crashes]

Oh.

[bell dings]

[gasps] That's the first bell!

We better hurry.

So no flower books.

What else does he like?

I suddenly can't 'amember.

I'm a bad friend.

I can't even 'amember the sound of his voice.

Um, Todd Jr. doesn't talk.

Oh, yeah.

Now it's coming back.

He likes riding in my diapey.

Aw, nothing in here but a Reptar puff.

OK, what does he do at home?

Once he climbeded to the top of the 'frigedator,

I think because Mommy putted his favoritest fruit up there...

cantaloupe.

[gasps] That's almost as tall as a 'frigerator!

Maybe he climbed up.

On it, Phil.

[grunting] Whoa.

Hey, it spins.

[shouting]

- Tommy! - Mama's books!

[sighs]

[all] Ahh!

Tommy, are you OK?

- Did you see him? - Sorry, Phil.

- [bell dings] - [all gasp]

If we don't get back, we'll miss Booky reading the story!

But we can stay and look some more.

It's OK, Kimi.

He's gone... gone as a worm can ever be.

[woman] How about some nice, quiet clapping for our friend Booky

- for taking all those pictures with you? - [applause]

- Wasn't that fun? - [Booky] Ah, thank you.

Aren't you kind?

To thine own self be true...

can't say it better than Shakespeare.

Thank you for your indulgence, dear patrons.

Once upon a time,

in a small village upon a hill...

You know, the first time I ever met Booky,

I was so excited that I screamed really loud,

even though I know you're not supposed to.

- You're not? - No, not in a library.

But sometimes, Booky the Bookworm

is so exciting, you forget things that are important,

like rules. But then I realized, a mistake doesn't make me

a bad friend of the library.

So you're saying...

You weren't a bad friend.

I guess when Booky showed up,

I thought everyone would see how special Todd Jr. was

if he could read, too. But he can't.

And I don't care if he ever reads at all

because he's already the greatest worm there is to me.

Oh, Phil, that's the nicest thing

anyone ever said about any worm.

Thanks.

I just wish I could tell him.

You just did.

[quirky music]

Todd Jr.! I'm so sorry I left you!

I think he forgives you. Come on.

We can still hear the story.

[Booky] So when even the town's...

Phil, you founded Todd Jr.!

[together] Yay!

Uh, shh.

Library voices.

[all whispering] Yay.

Whoo-hoo!

You know, he might not be the best reader,

but he might be the best hider.

Or he could just be the best Todd Jr.

[laughs]

Together, they were sure that

they could rise to any challenge.

[cheerful music]

[upbeat music]

[Didi] And you get the keys to the new house today?

Already got them. They even jingle in C-flat minor.

Listen. Wait, the keys! Where are the keys?

They're in your other hand, Chas.

Oh, right, right. I'm just so excited.

I cannot wait to show Chuckie and Kimi around their new home.

Hey, Chuckie, why is your daddy playing with those keys?

He's been shaking them all day.

They're for our new house.

I'm going to be living with Kimi now.

[Susie] Lucky.

It'll be like a playdate where you never have to go home.

- Just like me and Lillian. - Or me and Phillip.

Other kids around all the time, right in your house?

What a nightmare, right, Cynthia?

Hi. Sorry we're late.

I made cookies for our big day...

one of our big days. We're not moving in yet.

So many more big days to come.

May I hand out the cookies to the babies, please?

Of course.

Well, thank you, Kimi.

[babbling]

[Kimi] Hi, everyone.

My mama made cookies to celebrate

seeing our new house.

Kimi, welcome to the neighborhood.

Cookies?

You shouldn't have.

But since you did...

[munching]

Um, one for me, and one for Kimi.

So it seems like oatmeal raisin is the right thing to do.

Oh, OK.

I'll take chocolate chip.

- Psst, Finster! - [shrieks]

Don't speak. I'm here to stop you from making any more mistakes.

- Uh, like what? - That move with the cookie.

Everyone knows chocolate chip's the best,

but you picked oatmeal raisin.

What's wrong with you?

I thought so.

I figured Kimi would want the chocolate chip,

- so I let her have it. - Haven't you heard of the cookie test?

Uh, not 'zackly.

- OK, not at all. - Let me 'splain it.

When there are two cookies left on a plate,

a good one and a yucky one, you have to make a choice.

Do you know what taking the yucky one makes you?

Thoughtful?

A pushover.

But I'm standing up.

No, it means you let people push you around.

I knew another baby once who was always nice to people.

She went to preschool and got the worstest seat at storytime,

the sorting toy with drool on it,

the hot metal slide.

- Sounds ouchy. - You bet it was ouchy.

That nice baby was you, Angelica?

Ha! Of course not.

But it's going to be you.

And it's going to keep getting worser and worser.

All because I took the wrong cookie?

That's where it starts.

[humming]

Angelica's right about one thing, Chuckie.

If I want something that Dil's playing with,

I have to swap it for something else.

That's how I got my ball back. See?

I'm going to have to play with carrot toys?

[quirky music]

Kimi, just the kid I wanted to see.

Oh. Hi, Angelica.

I hear you're going to be living with Finster. Excited?

Yes. It's going to be so fun.

But?

Well, it's nothing really.

But when we were all taking cookies,

Chuckie took the one I wanted... oatmeal raisin.

Figures.

Kimi, I watch you at preschool.

Whenever someone wants a toy you're playing with,

you just hand it over.

It's the nice thing to do.

And, anyway, it's just school toys.

But you're going to be living with Finster.

You can't get away from him.

And after today, he'll always pick first...

your favorite color marker, best nugget shapes.

It almost sounds like you want to be

the kid who gets the carousel horsey

that doesn't go up and down.

But, Angelica, there's no point to a carousel ride

if the horsey doesn't go up and down!

[scoffs] It happens with two kids in a family.

Someone always misses out.

[both giggling]

Not them. They're basically one baby with two mouths.

[Chas] Oh, kids!

Who wants to go see the new house?

[birds chirping]

Now, in this room, we ordered a big, comfy,

new sofa so we can have family movie night.

- I can't wait! - [babbling]

Oh, you mean you all. Yep, love a big couch.

Of course, Chas and I need to paint

and refinish the floor first.

Wow. No stuffs to get in the way of playing.

- Lucky! - I think they're going to put the stuff in later.

Ooh, birdies must have lived here.

Is this going to be your room, Kimi?

Oh, I like the other room better.

It has a pretty window looking out at a tree.

I think I liked the other room more.

Are those clowns up there?

[Chuckie] Clowns?

Now I know I liked the other room more!

[doorbell rings]

Couch delivery for Mr. Finster.

Hello, Daxton. We didn't expect this so soon.

We haven't even moved in yet.

We only just decided on the color for the accent wall.

Puuccce.

I know not of this color.

I can take this back, sir, of course.

But company policy is 12 weeks before the next delivery.

Oh, we can't wait that long.

Chas, maybe we should put it in the sunroom for now.

- It's right down that hall. - [wheels squeaking]

[groaning]

Both rooms are so nice.

I thought so, too.

But there must be one you each like better, right?

I'll go first.

I'd like the...

- Clown room? - Yes.

How'd you know?

I'll take the clown room.

Oh, I guess that leaves me in the bird room.

That was easy.

It sure was. [chuckles]

I'm going to go hang out in my new room right now.

Me, too.

[ominous music]

[whimpers]

Finster, Finster.

Once again, you failed.

It's just a room, Angelica, where I'll go to sleep

and wake up in every night for the rest of my life.

You got that right. It's no fun being a pushover.

Or maybe you like ouchy slides.

[eerie circus music]

Nice clowns. Nice clowns!

- [clowns laughing] - Nice clowns.

[clowns laughing]

Ahh!

[clowns cackling]

Ahh! Ahh!

[whimpering]

[gasps]

Ahh!

[sighing]

[grunting]

- [sighs] - Oh, sorry, Daxton.

That's actually the perfect spot for my piano.

I see.

That is a dilemma.

Kira must have thought the room was bigger.

[laughs] Do you mind taking it back to the living room, please?

Of course not.

A Duffy delivery is a happy delivery.

Catchy slogan.

[groans]

[grunting]

It's really fine.

I like this room.

You sure about that?

- [ominous music] - [birds chirping]

[tapping at glass]

[birds chirping]

Ah!

[neck cracking]

[birds squawking]

[shrieking]

[gasping]

Angelica, help!

[cackling]

[gasps]

I don't want birds in my room.

And I don't want Chuckie to pick my favorite marker.

And I've never once ridden a carousel horsey

that doesn't go up and down, and I don't want to start now!

[grunting]

Oh, the couch is in here now.

Yes, ma'am, sure is.

I guess we both forgot that my piano was going in the sunroom.

I actually remembered, and I thought both could go there.

Why don't we take the kids back to our house

while you two sort this out?

Carry on.

[gentle music]

I should have talked to you before asking Daxton

to bring this back to the living room.

And I should have asked you if you minded

the couch in the sunroom.

I love the way we can work through any problem together.

Hey, Daxton, you mind one more?

- Daxton? - Where'd he go?

Duty calls. Whoa!

Enjoy your couch!

[upbeat music]

I'm done trying to fix you two.

Just speak up and say what you really want!

Ugh.

I really wanted the bird room.

And I really wanted the clown room.

I like it because there's a window looking out at a tree.

So does this mean we can...

- Trade rooms? - [both] Yes!

Angelica, wait.

You said to speak up, so I'm saying,

I want to try chocolate chip.

And I bet the babies all want another cookie, too.

But-but that's not what I meant!

Why do I ever open my mouth?
