I miss my city cousin so much!

I miss my country cousin so much!

The mice miss each other.

Hi, country mouse,

And we want to talk to you.

Hi, super readers.

I miss my cousin so much.

I think I'm going to....

Move to the city!

I'm going to move to the city

To be with my city mouse cousin.

[ Chuckling ]

[ Chuckle ]

Let's go to the city.

[ ♪♪ ]

Hold everything!

We've got a serious problem.

I don't know how to get to the city.

What am I going to do?

Alpha pig to the rescue!

With my amazing alphabet tools,

I can get us to the city

And help find city mouse.

We can use my alphabet map.

Will you help?

Great!

To follow the map,

First we need to find the letter "b".

Tell me when you see the "b".

Children: there!

There's the "b"!

"B" for "bus".

[ Horn honking ]

Hop on, everybody.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ Laughter ]

[ ♪♪ ]

Bus driver: last stop, the city.

Whoa, this is the city?

My new home.

[ Weak chuckle ]

Ah. Where do we go next to find my cousin, hmm?

Next, we need to find the letter "t".

Where is a "t"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "t".

"T" for "taxi".

Hop in!

[ ♪♪ ]

Hmm, we must be getting closer

To where my cousin lives.

Ah! There!

[ Chuckling ] I think that's his building!

[ ♪♪ ]

Yep, this is it.

Great!

Okay, the last letter we need

To find your cousin is an "e".

Do you see an "e"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "e"!

"E" for "elevator".

This elevator will take us up

To your cousin's apartment.

Everyone in!

Wa-hoo!

[ Elevator chime ]

[ Gasp ] country mouse!

You came to the city!

Hooray!

[ ♪♪ ]

Lickety letters!

We used our alphabet map

To get to the city and find city mouse.

Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.

Keep your eyes open for super letters.

Come on in!

[ Elevator chime ]

You see super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "s"! "P"! "E"!

"S", "p", and "e".

We need to put them in

Our super duper computer!

Six more super letters

And then we'll get our super story answer!

Right on, readers.

[ ♪♪ ]

Oh... I missed you so much

That I decided to move here, mm-hmm.

You left the country

To live in the city with me?

Yippee!

Come on, I'll show you some amazing things

About the city.

[ Shouting ] you can really see the city

From up here. Look!

[ Traffic din ]

Ooh, we're up so high.

I feel kind of dizzy.

Oh my chinny- chin-chin!

Be careful, country mouse!

[ Horns honking ]

[ Moaning ] what was that?

It's okay, country mouse.

It's... It's only cars honking.

[ Honking ]

Well, that honking is so... Loud! [ Nervous chuckle ]

Oh, I'm not so sure I like this city place.

I'm sorry, cuz.

I know you love the city,

But I don't like it here at all.

Tall buildings, loud noises...

[ Traffic din ]

[ Yelp ]

No, the city is not for me.

I want to go home.

[ Sobbing ]

No-o-o!

Oh no!

Country mouse left.

[ Crying ]

And I already miss him so much!

There, there, city mouse.

Here, use this.

[ Record scratching ]

A banana?

Oopsie! [ Giggle ]

I meant, this!

A princess is always prepared!

Thank you, princess.

[ Blowing ]

If only I could find a way

To see my cousin again.

Hey!

I have a great idea.

I'll move to the... Country!

[ Laughing ]

Tah-dah! I'm ready.

Let's roll!

[ ♪♪ ]

Oh no!

I don't know how to get to the country.

Cue the sparkles!

Cue the music!

Princess presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand,

I can make something

To take us back to the country.

Hmm...

[ Horn honks ]

Ooh, I've got it!

A car!

A car will take us back to the country.

Wands up!

Spell with me.

"Car" starts with the sound "cuh-cuh-cuh".

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

Hmm.

Children: "c"!

"C"! Write a lowercase "c" with me!

In the word "car",

The letters "a" and "r" together

Make the "ar" sound.

First, let's write a lowercase "a".

Now write a lowercase "r" with me.

Presto!

[ Gasp ] spectacular spelling!

We spelled "car"

And found a way to get back to the country.

Let's take a bow.

[ ♪♪ ]

[ ♪♪ ]

[ Tires squealing ]

You see super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "o"! "E"! "R"!

Oh yeah!

"O", "e", "r".

Computer!

Three more super letters,

And then we'll get our super story answer!

Way to go, super readers!

[ ♪♪ ]

Goodbye city, and hello country!

[ ♪♪ ]

Country mouse, I missed you!

I decided to move here,

To the country!

[ Laughter ]

It sure is quiet here in the country.

And...

[ Deep inhalation ]

Ah... Smell the fresh air!

And see all the grass and flowers,

And beautiful butterflies!

[ Sneeze ]

Oh! I think I'm allergic

To... Oh, the flowers.

[ Sneeze ]

And the grass... [ Sneeze ]

And... And beautiful butterflies.

[ Sneeze ]

Cousin, the country is not for me.

I think I need to go back to the city.

Uh, goodbye.

[ Gasp ] goodbye?

[ Whimpering ]

[ Seatbelt click ]

Already?

Oh no!

He's gone.

Now I miss city mouse!

And I miss country mouse!

Both: [ sigh ]

Well, it's our story:

What can we do

So we won't miss each other so much?

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read,

I can change this story and save the day!

Let's change the word "miss"

In this sentence.

Z-zap!

Why writer, write!

Super readers, what will help the mice

Not miss each other so much?

Let's try "visit".

Which is the word "visit"?

It starts with a "v".

Children: there!

There it is.

Now let's zap it into the sentence.

Z-zap!

Let's read it and see what happens.

Hey cuz!

I'm here to visit you!

I can visit you in the city

And sleep over and then I'll go home.

[ ♪♪ ]

And then I can visit you in the country

And I sleep over and then I'll go home.

And then we won't...

Miss each other so much!

[ Cheers ]

Yes!

Super job, super readers!

We changed the story

And helped the mice.

Look!

Oh! Ha-ha-ha! Cheese!

My favourite. [ Chuckling ]

Read the letters with me.

The super story answer is...

[ Triumphant ♪♪ ]

But... Why?

Red: because a sleepover is a kind of visit.

And if the mice have a sleepover,

It will help them not miss each other so much.

So my question is:

What can I do so I won't miss jack so much?

And the answer is:

All: sleepover!

I get it.

If jack and I have a sleepover visit,

Then we can still see each other.

Even if he moved away to college.

Come on!

[ ♪♪ ]

Jack!

Hey, whyatt!

[ ♪♪ ]

Whyatt, I'm so glad

You came for a sleepover.

You know, college is cool.

But I missed my little brother.

Really? I missed you too!

But a sleepover makes me feel much better!

Now that we're together,

I don't miss you so much anymore.

Me neither!
