Hi, it's me, Steve.
Is that you?
It is? Great.
Could you help me find Blue?
There she is!
Ooh, thanks.
Come on.
Hi, Blue!
Hi.
Guess what?
I made up a rhyme.
You want to hear it?
Okay, great, listen.
[clears throat]
What a great day.
You came over to play.
"Day," "play."
Did you hear that?
"Day" rhymes with "play;"
they both make an "A" sound.
"Day," "play."
"Play," "day."
Isn't that great?
Do you want to help me make up another rhyme?
You do?
Great, come on in.
Let's see what we can rhyme about.
Ooh, there's Blue.
Hey, Blue, we're trying to figure out
what to rhyme... about.
Oh, yes, how about Fred, our toy chicken?
I wonder what rhymes with "Fred."
We need a word that makes an "ed" sound.
All right, so which of these words rhyme:
"Fred," "train..."
or "Fred," "bed"?
"Fred," "bed."
"Fred," "bed," yeah.
"Fred" rhymes with "bed;" they both make an "ed" sound.
Okay, Fred was in a bed.
I wonder what else rhymes with "Fred."
[Blue barking a suggestion]
A color...?
Ooh, which of these colors rhymes with "Fred" and "bed":
"Red" or "green"?
Red.
Yeah, yeah, "red."
"Red" rhymes with "Fred" and "bed," just like you said.
So, Fred was in a bed.
Fred likes the color red.
Wow, listen to all those rhymes: "Fred," "bed," "red."
Thanks for all your help.
I wonder what else we can rhyme about.
Hey, Blue, what do you want to rhyme about?
[Blue barks excitedly]
We'll play "Blue's Clues"
to find out what Blue wants to rhyme about.
"Blue's Clues," it's my favorite rhyme.
[music starts]
♪ We are gonna play "Blue's Clues" ♪
♪ 'Cause it's a really great game. ♪
So, remember,
Blue's paw print will be on the clues: "Blue's Clues."
Hey, maybe we can rhyme this paw print away.
Ooh...
[clears throat]
Paw print has four toes...
and away paw print goes.
You need what we need to play Blue's Clues?
Our handy-dandy...?
Notebook.
Notebook, right, come on.
Hey, Steve,
I made a rhyme about the notebook.
Really, what is it?
Here it goes: It's handy-dandy.
Oh, yeah, "handy" rhymes with "dandy."
Handy-dandy notebook.
Good rhyming, Sidetable.
Why, thank you.
[music starts]

Oh, a paw print, right.

Ooh, glue.
What rhymes with "glue"?
A clue!
Yes, yes, nice rhyming.
"Glue," "clue."
No, there's a clue.
Oh...

You know what we need, our handy-dandy...?
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
A pail.
Let's start with an oval for the opening
then a line around and up,
an arc for the handle, and there, a pail.
So, we're trying to figure out what Blue what's to rhyme about,
and our first clue is a pail.
So, what could Blue want to rhyme about with a pail?
Maybe.
But I think we'd better find two more clues just to be sure.
[distant chuckling]
Listen... come on.
[chuckling continuing]
Oh, hey, everyone.
What's going on?
MRS. PEPPER: Oh, hello, Steve.
Good thing you're here.
I am trying to make up a rhyming lullaby
to help Paprika and Cinnamon take there nap,
but I could use a little help.
Well, do you want to help Mr. Salt

You do?
Great.
Wonderful.
I'll be right back with the lullaby.
Right this way.
I'll sing what I have so far.

♪ It is now time
♪ To sleep in your... bed. ♪

Hmm...
What rhymes with "bib"?
Oh, so we need to find a word
that makes an "ib" sound, like bib.
So what rhymes with "bib"?
Is it "doll," "chair" or "crib"?
"Crib."
Oh, yeah, "crib" rhymes with "bib"
because they both make an "ib" sound
"Crib," "bib"!
Hey, that isa nice rhyme.
I'll use it in the song!
Now, just one more part.
Okay, let's listen.
♪ You will dream soon of a big... ♪
Hmm, I need a word that rhymes with "soon."
Okay, so we need to find a word
that makes an "oon" sound, like "soon."
Well, what rhymes with "soon":
Is it "book," "moon" or "pillow"?
"Moon."
Yeah, "soon" and "moon"
both make an "oon" sound; they rhyme.
I'll use "soon" and "moon" in my song!
Fantastique, it's finished!
Let's go sing it to Paprika and Cinnamon.
All right, nappers, it is time for your lullaby.
Let's sing with Mr. Salt.

Yeah, I'm sleepy, too.
No, a clue.
Oh, there's a clue on this sail.
You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
A sail.
Let's make a triangle for the sail
with a line down for the mast, and we have a sail.
So, we're trying to figure out what Blue wants to rhyme about
and our first clue was... a pail, right.
And now our second clue is a sail.
"Pail," "sail."
Hey, our first two clues rhyme!
So, what could Blue want to rhyme about
with a pail and a sail?
Maybe.
But I think we should find our last clue just to be sure.

Hi, there...
Bear.
Hi.
My story is supposed to rhyme,
but something doesn't rhyme here.
Oh... we'll figure it out.
Will you help me figure out
what doesn't rhyme in Bear's story?
Great.
Well, we have a bear in a chair
eating an apple.
So which word doesn't rhyme:
"bear," "chair," or "apple"?
Apple.
Apple... right.
Excuse me, Bear.
"Apple" does not rhyme with "chair" or "bear."
Oh, yeah.
"Apple" doesn't rhyme.
I need to find a piece of fruit that rhymes.
Okay, so which fruit rhymes
with "chair" and "bear"?
Is it pear, orange or strawberry?
Pear.
Right-- "Pear" rhymes with "chair" and "bear."
Ah, much better.
Now I am a bear in a chair
eating a pear.
Would you like to share my pear?
No, thanks, but I'm glad you care.
CHARACTER: I need help.
[barks "Uh-oh"]
Hey, somebody else needs our help.
Rhymers, to the rescue.
See you later, Bear.
Thanks for the help.
Something doesn't rhyme in my story.
[barks, "Uh-oh"]
All right, rhymers.
We've got a king, wearing a ring, on a seesaw.
[barks, "Uh-oh"]
So which word doesn't rhyme with the others:
"Seesaw," "king" or "ring"?
Seesaw.
Right-- "seesaw" doesn't rhyme
with "king" or "ring."
I want something to play on,
but it needs to rhyme.
Okay.
So... what could the king play on
that rhymes with "king" and "ring"?
Is it a slide, monkey bars,
or a swing?
Swing.
Right-- "Swing" sounds like "king" and "ring."
I like to swing.
It's his thing.
[barks, "Uh-oh"]
Someone else needs our help.
Rhymers, to the rescue.
Bye, king.
Bye.
Something doesn't rhyme in my story.
Okay, well, we're here to help.
So... we have a pig
wearing a hat, eating a fig.
So... which word doesn't rhyme with the others:
"pig," "hat" or "fig"?
Hat.
Right-- hat.
"Hat" doesn't rhyme with "pig" or "fig."
I want to wear something that rhymes.
Okay, so what could the pig wear
that rhymes with "pig" and "fig"?
Is it "shoes," "wig" or "gloves"?
Wig.
Wig.
"Wig" rhymes with "pig" and "fig."
Nice wig.
It's big.
Thanks for helping.
You're welcome.
Bye, pig.
Wow!
There's a snail and a whale on a scale.
A clue, a clue!
Uh...
No, I don't think "clue" rhymes
with "snail" and "whale."
Steve, there's a clue.
Oh, there's a clue... on that whale.
You know what we need: our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
So, a whale.
First, a line that curves around for the head and body,
with two round shapes at the end for the tail.
Curves for the fins, two eyes, the mouth.
There, a whale.
Hey, we have all three clues.
You know what that means.
We're ready to sit in our...
Thinking chair.
Thinking chair.
Let's go.
Okay, now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
You will help, right?
Great.
So, we're trying to figure out
what Blue wants to rhyme about
and our clues are... a "pail"...
a "sail"...
and a "whale."
So what could Blue want to rhyme about
with "pail," a "sail," and a "whale"?
Hey...
where could you be if... if you could play with a pail,
and...
and maybe... see a sail
and maybe even a whale?
Where could you be?
The beach.
Ocean.
Yeah, the beach, because at the beach,
you can play with a pail in the sand,
and you can look out over the ocean,
and maybe see a sail, and maybe even a whale.

Remember how we helped them
figure out their rhymes?
Ready, Blue?
All right.
Let's rhyme about the beach.

Here's my rhyme.
I like to float in a boat.
Nice one, Mr. Salt.
"Float" rhymes with "boat."
Okay, who's next?
Oh, I'll try.
I wish... I was a fish.
Wow!
Good one, Bear.
"Fish" rhymes with "wish."
Bluester.
[barking, "pail"]
[barking, "whale"]
Great job, Blue.
Blue rhymed "pail" with "whale,"
just like the clues.
Okay, my turn.
I like to put my hand in the sand.
Do you like my rhyme?
Couldn't have done it without you.
