Hi! So glad you're here.

It's me, whyatt!

[ ♪♪ ]

Welcome to storybrook village,

Where all our fairy-tale friends live!

[ Cellphone ♪♪ ]

Aw, looks like pig is upset.

I wonder why?

Let's go find out!

[ ♪♪ ]

Look! It's princess pea and her mom and dad.

Hi, princess.

Hi, whyatt!

[ ♪♪ ]

Hi, poppa pig.

[ ♪♪ ]

Oh. Hi, whyatt.

Hi, pig.

Whatcha looking at?

I'm looking at this picture of my friends.

There's something different about it.

Different?

Really?

Don't you see it?

No, I don't see anything different.

Person, person,

Person, pig!

I'm different from red, princess pea and you.

You're people and I'm a pig.

Person, pig.

You, me.

That's pretty different.

Well, that's true.

But that's okay, pig.

No, it's not!

I want to be like everyone else, whyatt.

I don't want to be different.

This sounds like a super big problem.

And a super big problem needs us,

The super readers!

We need to call the rest of the super readers!

Call them with me! [ Cellphone ♪♪ ]

[ Electronic beeps ]

Okay, pig, state your problem.

I'm different.

You are?

How? How? How?

Person, person, person,

Pig. See?

I'm different from all of you

And I don't like it!

What should I do about being different?

Good question!

When we have a question, we look...

All: in a book!

Which book should we look in?

Peas and carrots, carrots and peas...

Book come out, please, please, please!

Let's read the title of this book.

We know what to do.

[ Gasp ] oh... My... Peas.

We're underwater!

Cool!

We're in the book "the little mermaid".

Let's read.

Why writer... Highlight!

Read with me.

That's me!

Whee-ee-ee! [ Giggle ]

Whoo!

Kid, kid, kid,

Mermaid.

I'm... Different.

Hey!

The little mermaid is different,

Just like me!

And that, super readers,

Is why we are in this book!

Pig and the little mermaid are both different!

We need to talk to the little mermaid

And see what she does about being different.

To the little mermaid!

[ ♪♪ ]

Hello, little mermaid!

We're the super readers

And we want to talk to you.

Why are you upset?

Super readers,

I'm so different from the kids on land.

They have legs, I have a tail.

I don't want to be different!

I want to be like them.

Me too! [ Gasp ]

You know what?

I'm going to go to land

So I can be just like them!

Who's with me?

I'm with you!

Various: oh, us too!

Fabulous!

Whee-ee-ee!

Peas and carrots.

What a flip!

Mermaids can flip really well.

So, how do we get to land?

Well, I heard that there's a magical treasure chest

Far across the ocean.

Maybe the treasure chest will have something

That can help us get to land.

Cool!

Let's find the treasure chest.

Fish: oo-ooh!

Hey, mermsy!

Want to play hide-and-go-swim?

Aw, sorry.

I can't play right now.

I'm going to find the treasure chest

So I can get to land.

[ Squeaking ]

Oh, okay.

Okay, super readers,

I'm ready to find the treasure chest.

But wait a minute,

I have no idea where it is!

How are we going to find the treasure chest?

[ ♪♪ ]

Alpha pig...

To the rescue!

With my amazing alphabet treasure map,

I can help find the treasure chest.

We just need to follow the letters.

First we need to find the letter "c".

[ ♪♪ ]

Let's swim to the "c"!

[ Chuckle ]

[ ♪♪ ]

Alpha pig: now, where's that "c"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "c"!

On that coral!

Next, we need the letter "o".

Let's head that-a-way!

[ ♪♪ ]

Hmm...

Tell me when you see the letter "o".

Children: there!

There's the "o"!

On the octopus!

The last letter we need is "t".

Let's find the "t"!

[ ♪♪ ]

Where is the "t"?

Children: there!

There's the "t",

And it's on the treasure chest!

Lickety letters!

We followed the alphabet treasure map

And found the treasure chest.

Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.

The treasure chest!

I can't wait to see what's inside!

Wow, little mermaid,

That tail sure is handy.

Whoa! Look, super readers.

Super readers: ooh, treasure.

Super readers, I see something else

Inside the treasure chest.

[ Gasp ] it's a key!

A key to what?

A cave.

This is a picture of a cave.

Maybe this cave will lead us to land.

Be sure to keep an eye out for super letters.

To the caves!

[ ♪♪ ]

You see super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "r"! "U"!

"R" and "u"!

We need to put them in our super duper...

Computer!

Super duper!

Three more super letters and then we'll get...

Our super story answer.

Super job, super readers.

Here we are.

But there are so many caves.

How will we know which cave leads to land?

[ ♪♪ ]

Cue the sparkles!

Cue the music!

Princess presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand,

I can help the little mermaid

Find the right cave!

[ Bubbling ]

Oh, split pea.

A-ahem. [ Giggle ]

Ready to spell "cave"?

Splendid! [ Laughing ]

Ready?

Wands up!

Spell with me!

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

Children: "c"!

A "c" or a "k".

But in the word "cave", it's a "c".

Write a lowercase "c" with me.

And now, in the word "cave",

The "a" makes the sound "ay".

Write a lowercase "a" with me!

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

Children: "v"!

"V"!

Let's write a lowercase "v".

The last letter in "cave" is "e".

[ Whispering ] we can't hear it but it's there!

Write a lowercase "e" with me!

Presto!

Spectacular spelling, super readers!

We spelled the word "cave"

And found the right cave!

Let's take a bow.

Thank you, princess presto!

Let's see if this key opens the cave door.

[ Lock turning ]

Super readers: awesome! Wow!

[ ♪♪ ]

You see a super letter?

Which one?

Children: "p"!

"P"!

All right, super readers!

Now we need to put it in our super duper...

Computer!

Only two more super letters

And then we'll get our super story answer.

Right on, readers.

[ ♪♪ ]

Fish: oo-oo-ooh!

Hey, mermsy!

Want to swim through some seaweed?

Want to? Want to? Want to?

Sorry, I'm going to land

To play with the kids.

[ Squeaking ]

Oh. Okay.

[ ♪♪ ]

Hmm, what do we do now?

[ Gasp ] look!

Land!

Maybe that will help us get to land.

[ Click ]

[ Whirring ]

Whoa, this is so cool.

I'm so excited.

[ Giggle ] up we go,

To land!

All: whoa! Whoa!

[ ♪♪ ]

We made it to land.

And there are the kids in my picture,

Right there!

I want to play too.

But I'm so different from them.

I have a tail and they don't.

What if they won't want to play with me?

I have to hide my tail before they see it.

Little mermaid, if you hide your tail,

Then you won't be able to play with the kids.

But that's what I do in my story.

See? I have to hide it.

Oh my chinny- chin-chin!

We need to do something.

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read,

I can change this story and save the day!

Let's change the word...

"Hides" in this sentence.

Z-z-zap!

Why writer, write!

Super readers,

We need the little mermaid

Not to hide her tail

So she can come out of the water and play.

Which word is the opposite of "hides"?

Let's try "shows".

Which is the word "shows"?

It has an "s" at both ends.

Children: there!

There it is!

Let's zap it.

Z-z-zap!

Let's read.

I'm showing my tail!

[ Giggling ]

[ ♪♪ ]

Did showing her tail

Help the little mermaid play with the kids?

Children: yes!

Yes!

Super job, super readers.

The little mermaid showed her tail

And now she can play with the kids!

But... I'm so different from them.

[ Giggling ]

Wow, cool tail!

Thanks.

I know it's different.

It's fantastically different!

[ Giggling ] I guess it is.

Do you live here on land?

No, I live under the sea

In a big sand castle.

You live in a sand castle?

Cool!

I live in a house.

A house?

That's cool too.

Do you like being a mermaid?

You know, actually, I do.

I have a big strong tail

And I can do fabulous flips.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ Laughter ] wow!

And that makes me really happy.

Even though I'm different,

I'm proud to be a mermaid.

I have hands and legs

And I can spin!

[ Giggle ] and I'm proud to be a kid!

[ Chuckle ]

Hey, maybe we can be friends,

Even though we're so different?

Absolutely!

Wow, nice kick!

[ ♪♪ ]

Do you see more super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "d"! "O"!

"D", "o".

Okay, let's put them in our super duper...

Computer!

[ Gasp ] we found all of our super letters!

Now we can get our super story answer!

Super readers: bye, little mermaid!

[ Gasp ] our super story answer is...

[ Triumphant ♪♪ ]

But... Why?

Red: I know why!

Even though the little mermaid

Was different from kids on land,

She was proud to be a mermaid.

It made her happy!

So my question is,

What should I do about being different?

And the answer is...

All: proud!

Maybe I should be proud of being different too.

I should be proud to be a pig!

Come with me!

It's okay to be different.

My fingers are different, but I like them.

My ears are different too,

But I think they're cute. [ Giggle ]

And I build things, lickety quick.

That's different, too.

Whyatt, pea & red: hi! Hello, pig! Whatcha doing?

Hi, everyone!

Look!

Person, person, person...

Pig!

We're different from each other.

[ Chuckle ] that's true, pig.

But I'm proud to be different.

We're proud of you too, pig.
