- This bunny drew book club
Was a great idea, ruby.
- [Sips]
Well, as grandma says,
The only thing better than reading a bunny drew mystery
Is sharing it.
That's why she let us borrow her very own book
From when she was a little bunny.
Here we are.
"Bunny drew brought everyone together who was in the room
When the emerald earrings disappeared."
- The maid, the gardener, and the mysterious uncle.
- Uh-huh.
"She asked them to do exactly what they were doing
"When the earrings went missing.
"'Then I'll be able to prove
Who stole the emerald earrings.'"
- I'm sure the mysterious uncle did it.
- That's the great thing about bunny drew mysteries,
You might think you know who did it,
But you never really know till the very end.
- I can't wait to find out!
- "Bunny drew watched the maid
"And the gardener and the mysterious uncle.
"'I know who stole the emerald earrings.
It was the--'"
- Duck!
- Ah!

Red alert.

- I know you love playing
With your search and rescue helicopter,
But maybe you should ground it for now.
We are having our bunny drew book club meeting.
- We're reading
[Span]the mysterious case of [span] the missing emerald earrings.[/Span][/span]
- And we have to be extra careful.
It's grandma's book, and it's very old and delicate.
- [Gasps]
- Why don't you play with something else
Until we finish the story?
Thanks, max.
Okay, let's get back to reading.
- I can't wait to hear how it ends.

- Rescue.

You know the only thing I like better
Than reading together?
- What, ruby?
- Drinking lemonade while we read.
[Laughs]
- Me too,
Except mine's all gone.
- Mine too.
Why don't we get some more
Before we read the end of the book?
[Reel clicking]
- [Laughs]
- As long as max's helicopter stays here,
And max stays over there,
Grandma's book will be safe and sound.
We'll be right back, max.

- Okay!
Now we're ready to finish the story.
- Good.
Max is still over there,
The helicopter is behind the chair,
And our bunny drew mystery is right where we left it.
- Then let's get reading!
- [Gasps]
Oh, no.
The last page,
It's missing.
- We can't find out who done it
If we don't have the last page.
- But where could it be?
Both: max.
- Did you take the last page of the book?
There's only one thing to do, louise.
We have to solve
The mystery of the disappearing page.
- Right.
How do we do that?
- Well,
We have to think like bunny drew.
What would she do?
Hmm.
[Gasps]
I know.
Max, we need your help.
- Rescue.
- You can play search and rescue
After you help us cr*ck the case.
First, let's get everyone to go where they were
Before the page went missing.
- Just like bunny drew.
Great idea, ruby.
- Okay.
The last time we saw the missing page,
Was just before we went inside for lemonade.
I put the book down
Like this.
- Right.
And then we went inside.
- Okay, max.
What happened next?
[Remote beeps]
[Rotors whirring]
[Page whooshes]
Aha!
Just as I suspected.
Max's helicopter blew the last page out of the book.
- But that doesn't explain how the page disappeared.
[Both gasp]
- Look.
She wants to use the pages to make her nest.
- It's just like a bunny drew mystery.
The thief is never who you think it is.
I guess we'll never know
Who stole the missing emerald earrings,
Not without the last page of the book.
- Rescue.
[Rotors whirring]
- [Laughs] max, what are you doing?
[Mechanical humming]
- [Gasps] look at that.
[Both laugh]
- Max, you got the pages back.
"Bunny drew watched the maid
"And the gardener
"And the mysterious uncle.
"'I know who stole the emerald earrings.
"'It was the...
Gardener!'"
- [Gasps] the gardener?
I was sure it was going to be the mysterious uncle.
- Well, as we discovered
In the mystery of the disappearing page,
You have to wait till the very end
Before you find out--
- Who done it.
[Both laugh]
[Reel clicking]
[Toy roars]
[Toy clatters]
Splat!
- [Laughs]
- Hi, max.
Guess what we're going to do.
Squish!
Huh?
Oh!
I stepped in gorilla goo.
[Laughs] did you hear that?
I made a rhyme.
I said, "guess what we're going to do.
I stepped in gorilla goo."
[Laughs]
A rhyme is when two words sound the same.
"Do" and "goo" sound the same.
Get it?
When you make up a story with words that rhyme,
That's called a poem.
And that's what we're going to do today,
Write a poem.
I have to write a poem about my favorite things
For the bunny scout poetry contest.
And since so many of my favorite things are outside,
We're going to go for a nice nature walk.
Great poets also think better
When they have good healthy snacks to eat.
- Snacks?
- We'll save them for later
To give us energy when we need it.
Why don't you bring some of your toys, too, max?
Poets are inspired
By all kinds of things in nature,
Like that.
I'm going to start my poem with a rhyme about roses.
This spot is nice.
Oh, but what about around here?
- [Sighs]
- Ooh, this side is pretty too.
No, I think I like this side better.
- [Sighs]
- Yes, this is perfect.
- Snacks?
- The snacks are for later.
Hmm.
Now, let's see.
How should my poem start?
"Oh, my favorite flower
Is the red, red, rose."
Perfect.
Now I just need to think of another word
That rhymes with "rose."
Hmm.
Zip!
Max, what are you doing?
- Snacks?
- [Chuckles] you're so funny,
Trying to get snacks right out from under my nose.
[Gasps] nose!
That rhymes with "rose."
"My favorite flower is the red, red rose.
It smells so lovely to my nose."
Did you hear that?
I've written the first two lines of my poem.
Look at this maple tree.
Isn't it beautiful, max?
I think I'll write the next lines of my poem
About the maple tree.
- Snacks.
- Snacks are for later.
Why don't you play with your toys
While I write my poem?
Now, what can I write about the maple tree?
[Toy roars]
Splat!
[Leaves rustle]
Aha.
"The maple is my very favorite tree."
What rhymes with "tree"?
[Rustling]
Max?
Hmm.
[Laughs] are you looking for this?
- Snacks.
- [Laughs]
Did you really think
I wouldn't see you take my backpack away?
Of course I'd see.
[Gasps] "see."
That rhymes with "tree."
[Leaves rustle]
"The maple is my very favorite tree.
It grows as tall as you can see."
I wrote the second line of my poem.
It's so pretty by the creek.
There has to be something I can write about here.
[Gasps]
Butterflies. I love butterflies.
I'll write about them in my poem.
Huh?
Hmm.
Maybe you should play with your toys
A little farther away.
We can have snacks in a while,
But right now I have to concentrate on my poem.
Thanks, max.
[Melancholy music]
- [Gasps]
[Whispers] snacks.
- "My favorite insect is the butterfly."
Now, what word rhymes with "butterfly"?
[Reel clicking]
[Reel clicks]
Mm, no, that doesn't work.
I need my eraser.
Huh?
What's my backpack doing up in the sky?
Wait a second.
"Sky" rhymes with "butterfly."
- [Grunting]
- "My favorite insect is the butterfly.
It flits and flutters through the sky."
Perfect!
Come on, max.
I have one more rhyme to find for my poem.
- Snacks?
- [Laughs]
Yes, max.
It's finally time for snacks.
[Gasps]
I know what the last lines of my poem will be.
Thanks, max.
- And now here's bunny scout ruby.
- "My favorite flower is the red, red rose.
"It smells so lovely to my nose.
"The maple is my favorite tree.
"It grows as tall as you can see.
"My favorite insect is the butterfly.
"It flits and flutters through the sky.
"My favorite food to eat is snacks.
But no one loves them more than--"
- Max!
Crunch!
Mmm.
Magic!
Hmm.
Magic?
- Looks like you could use some help
With your magic act.
And I have just the thing you need.

No, there's nothing in your pocket.

How to do so many new things.

Bye, ruby.
- Okay, thank you, mr. H.
You definitely need that magic book, max,
But first you need to make your library card appear.
Maybe you tucked the card inside your sleeve?
No, nothing up your sleeves either.
Hmm.
- Magic.
- Tell you what,
I'll put this magic book on special hold
So no one else can borrow it
Until you find your library card.
- [Sighs]
- It has to be somewhere.
It can't just disappear.
- Is this ruby's lending library?
- Yes, it is, grandma.
What kind of book would you like?
- I'm looking for something
That will transport me to another place and time.
- I know just the book for you.
A travel book.
Here you go, grandma.
[Span]around the world in hops.[/Span]

Now I can visit different places
Without leaving my comfy chair.
Here's my library card.

Oh, I love the way books can take you
To exotic, faraway places.

Ooh!
Is magician max going to do
A magic trick for us?

I told you, max.
You can't borrow a library book
Without your library card.
And you can't saw one in half ever.
Oops!
- Oh! [Laughing]
- Oh.
[Giggles]
[Both laughing]
Where do you think you're going?

- Magic.
- Max wants to borrow the magic book,
But I keep telling him he needs his...
[Gasps]
Your library card.
You made it appear out of nowhere.
- Like magic.
There was nothing in your pocket
And nothing up your sleeve.
How did you do that magic trick, max?
- Book.
