Mom, dad,

Guess what happened at school today? [ Timer bell chimes ]

Just a minute, whyatt. Jack...

Can you please put your guitar away?

I was just about to take it upstairs.

[ Clattering ]

Oh, sorry.

I-i'll clean that up.

Anyway, guess what happened to me

At school today?

Just a minute, whyatt.

Joy! Please, [ utensil clattering ]

Don't throw your broccoli.

[ Sigh ] now can I tell my story?

As I was saying...

[ Sigh ] yuck! Ugh!

Joy!

Please don't throw food.

[ Babbling ] hey, joy.

Joy, where did jack go?

Where...? Aarghh! It's no use!

Jack: peek-a-boo! It's so loud in here,

I can't even tell my story!

Mom, dad, I'm done with dinner.

Can I go over to princess pea's castle?

Sure, whyatt, go ahead.

[ ♪♪ ]

...and then everyone laughed and laughed!

The end. [ Laughing ]

[ Laughter ]

What a funny story, sweet pea.

Ahhh, listen to that.

It's just... Quiet.

Exactly. [ Chuckle ]

I'm not sure I like it so quiet.

[ Doorbell chiming ] come in!

Hello! [ Gasp ]

Well, hello, whyatt.

Whyatt!

I'm so glad you're here!

Do you hear that?

Hmmm...

No.

Exactly!

My house is too quiet!

Well, my house is too loud.

No one will listen to me,

And joy's baby food

Landed on my head!

[ Laughing ]

That sounds like fun.

Well, it wasn't.

I'd be happier at your house, where it's quiet.

Well, I'd be happier at your house, where it's loud!

I think.

[ Sigh ]

This is a super big problem.

And a super big problem needs us,

The super readers!

We need to call the rest of the super readers.

Oh! We're in "the prince and the pauper" book!

Um, what's a pauper?

A pauper is someone

Who doesn't have a lot of things.

Oh.

Let's read.

Why writer... Highlight!

Read with me.

Ho-hum.

This is my quiet castle.

[ Mooing/crowing ]

[ Exasperated sigh ]

This is my very loud farm!

I'm not happy at my castle.

It's too quiet.

And my farm is too loud.

The prince and the pauper aren't happy in their houses,

Just like you and me, whyatt.

And that, super readers, is why we are in this book!

None of us are happy in our houses!

We should go talk

To the prince and the pauper!

Let's roll!

[ ♪♪ ]

Prince, pauper,

We're the super readers

And we want to talk to you.

Super readers, we have a stupendous idea!

Since we're not happy where we live now,

We're going to switch houses!

Yeah!

I'm going to live at the castle!

And I'm going to live at the farm.

Here, pauper.

At the castle,

You must wear this royal crown.

Oh, wow!

And, uh, on the farm,

You must wear this... Farmer's hat.

Very well.

Well, I'm off to the castle.

Woo-hoo!

And I'm off to the farm!

Come on, super readers!

To the farm!

[ ♪♪ ]

[ Rooster crowing ]

Oh, how lovely to be a pauper on a farm.

[ Tummy growling ]

Oh-h, I'm hungry.

[ Sigh ]

Oh, royal helper... [ Clapping ]

Bring me my breakfast.

Uh... Uh, prince?

I think, on the farm,

You have to get your own breakfast...

Yourself.

[ Gasp ] myself?

That's outrageous!

How do I do that? [ Mooing ]

[ ♪♪ ]

Alpha pig to the rescue!

With my amazing alphabet tools,

I can help the prince get what he wants for breakfast!

Come on!

Ho-ho!

Okay, let's see.

We need breakfast foods.

What letter is this?

Children: "o"!

"O"!

What letter is this?

Children: "h"!

"H"!

What word begins with the letter "h"?

[ Clucking ]

What could I get from a hen for breakfast?

[ Clucking ]

Oh! Look at that!

An egg!

Lickety letters!

We found what we need for the prince's breakfast!

Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.

Let's go back so you can eat.

Good idea.

[ ♪♪ ]

Okay, making breakfast.

[ Sigh ] here goes.

Oh-h-h.

Oh... Oh... [ Clattering/crashing ]

Oh!

[ Sigh ] I was much happier at the castle

When my breakfast was served to me.

Thank you.

Hey, do you think the pauper

Is enjoying himself over there?

[ Gasp ] let's go to the castle and ask him!

And be sure to look out for super letters

Along the way!

To the castle!

See you soon!

[ ♪♪ ]

Hi, pauper!

How do you like the castle?

[ Sigh ] well, I'm so hungry,

But I can't get my own breakfast.

Here, I have to wait.

Finally! Breakfast!

Oh, wow, goodness!

Mmmmm!

Huh... Hey!

I'm sorry, sir, but in this castle

You mustn't eat until everyone has been seated.

Please put the covers back on the food.

Quickly!

A-a-all right, I'll put them back.

Whoops!

Heh... I'll fix it.

Oh, no, no, no, no... Aarrghh!

[ Frustrated groan ]

Look what a mess I made!

H-how will I clean it all up?

[ ♪♪ ]

Cue the sparkles!

Cue the music!

Princess presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand,

I can spell the word "clean"

To clean up this mess.

Wands up! Spell with me.

What letter makes the sound, "cuh-cuh-cuh"?

Children: "c"!

"C"!

"K" can also make this sound,

But the word "clean" needs a "c".

Write a "c" with me.

Whoo! [ Giggle ]

Now, what letter makes the sound "l-l-l"?

Children: "l"!

"L"!

Write an "l" with me!

Oh, lovely "l"! [ Laughing ]

The next two letters

Make the sound "eee" in "clean".

It's the letters "e" and "a". [ Giggle ]

Let's write an "e".

Now, let's write an "a".

Finally, what letter makes the sound "n-n-n"?

Children: "n"!

"N"!

Write an "n" with me.

Presto!

Spectacular spelling!

We spelled the word "clean"

To clean the table!

Let's take a bow.

Um, super readers,

The castle isn't making me as happy as I thought.

[ Phone ringing ] oh!

[ Farm fracas ] pauper, this farm is so loud!

I think I'd be happier at my castle.

Well, the castle is so quiet.

Look at our story!

What can we do to get back to our houses?

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read,

I can change this story and save the day!

Why writer, highlight!

Super readers,

We need to switch the words

"Castle" and "farm"

So the prince and the pauper

Can get back to their houses.

First, which is the word "castle"?

It starts with a "c".

Children: there!

There! Let's zap it.

Z-z-zap!

Now which is the word "farm"?

It starts with an "f".

Children: there!

Super duper!

Let's zap the word "farm". Z-z-zap!

Now, why writer,

Switch words!

Let's read.
