Hello. I'm thumbelina!

This is my friend, thimble!

To find henry hippo!

And that, super readers,

Is why we are in this book!

Thumbelina and pig both want

To find someone special but don't know how.

We need to talk to thumbelina

And figure out how she finds thimble!

Swallow says to follow the daisies

Out of the garden,

And then we'll come to the river!

Thanks, swallow!

[ Chirping ]

But, how will we find our way to the river?

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Alpha pig... To the rescue!

"G"!

Let's keep jumping!

[ Gasp ]

What letter comes after "j"?

Children: "k"!

Cool, a "k".

Let's go!

Hmm, what letter comes after the letter "p"?

Children: "q"!

"Q"!

"Q" comes after "p"!

We're almost there.

Let's jump to the end of the alphabet.

Lickety letters!

We followed the alphabet flowers

Out of the garden and found the river!

Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up!

Come on! This way!

Princess presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand,

I can spell something

To take us down the waterfall.

I know, a log!

A log will take us down the waterfall!

Will you help me spell the word "log"?
