Hi, poppa pig.

Hey, whyatt. Go on in.

[ Straining ]

Hey, pig. Something wrong?

Hi, whyatt.

Yes, something is very wrong.

I don't fit in my bed.

I think I'm too big.

Look!

[ Grunting ]

[ Sigh ]

See? My feet stick over the end.

Gee, pig, that doesn't look very comfortable.

It isn't!

And, look at this...

Whoa!

[ Sigh ]

My sneakers are just too tight.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.

Ouch...

[ Sigh ]

Why don't I fit in my bed

And my sneakers like I used to?

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.

[ Electronic beeps ]

Okay, pig. State your problem.

I don't fit in my bed anymore;

My feet hang over the end.

Oh, my peas! That's a problem.

And that's not all.

My sneakers are so tight,

They hurt my feet!

Why don't I fit in my bed and my sneakers?

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...

Why writer, highlight!

Read with me.

Quack! Quack, quack!

Brown ducklings: quack! Quack! Quack!

You look different.

Yeah, you have yellow feathers

And we have brown feathers.

[ Gasp ]

[ Grunts ]

Look. You're too big for your nest.

[ Straining ]

Aw, quackers!

Why can't I fit in my nest anymore?

[ Gasp ] that's just like me!

I can't fit in my bed anymore!

And that, super readers,

Is why we are in this book!

Ugly duckling and pig both want to know

Why they don't fit in things like they used to.

We need to talk to ugly duckling.

Let's roll!

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Hi, we're the super readers

And we want to talk to you.

Why do the other ducklings

Call you "ugly duckling"?

I don't think you're ugly at all!

Heh, thanks.

They call me ugly duckling

Because I'm different from them.

[ Gasp ] well, that's not nice!

We won't call you that.

We'll just call you... Duckling!

Thanks!

I know I'm beautiful, but I am different.

Look at me.

[ Grunt ] I'm big...

[ Straining ] and I don't fit in my nest.

Aw...

Why don't I fit in my nest?

Ugly duckling, it's your feet.

They grew so big

That you need a bigger nest.

[ Gasp ] I'm so big!

Whoa, I do need a bigger nest!

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Alpha pig to the rescue!

With my amazing alphabet tools,

I can build the duckling a bigger nest

So he can fit!

Now we need to find the letters

In the words "big nest".

First, we need the letter "b".

Which one is the letter "b"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "b"!

Now we need the letter "i".

Which one is the "i"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: oh yeah! There's the "i"!

Next comes the "g".

Where's the letter "g"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "g"!

Now we need the word "nest".

First, we need the letter "n".

Do you see the letter "n"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "n"!

Now, do you see the letter "e"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "e".

The letter "s" is next.

Hmm, where's the letter "s"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "s".

The last letter we need is "t".

Which one is the "t"?

Children: there!

Alpha pig: there's the "t"!

A big nest for me

And my big ol' feet!

Woo-hoo!

Lickety letters!

We found the letters

In the words "big" and "nest"

And now duckling

Fits in his new nest!

Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.

Oh cool, you got a bigger nest!

I know! Best nest ever!

Come on, ducklings, let's go play!

Quack! Quack! Quack!

Whoa! Oof.

Hey, guys!

Wait for me!

Follow that duckling!

Remember to look for super letters.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Yelp ]

Oops.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

You see super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "r"! "N"! "P"!

"R", "n", "p".

Let's put them in our super duper...

Computer!

Six more super letters

And then we'll get our super story answer.

Super duper!

[ Panting ]

Oof! Oh, my feet are so big!

Come on, feet, stop tripping!

Cherries!

Oh, yummy.

Ooh, I love cherries!

The other ducklings

Are getting cherries with their beaks.

I want to get cherries with my beak, too!

[ Grunting ]

Aw, quackers.

I don't care if my beak is bigger.

I'm going to get a cherry!

Oops.

Yikes!

[ Straining ]

Quackers.

Uh, super readers?

My beak is stuck.

Help!

Cue the sparkles!

Cue the music!

Princess presto to the rescue!

With my magic spelling wand,

I can spell the word "pull"

So duckling can pull his beak out of that tree!

Wands up!

Spell with me!

Hmm, what letter makes the sound "puh-puh"?

Children: "p"!

"P"!

Write a lowercase "p" with me.

Now, in this word,

The letter "u" makes the "uh" sound.

Write a lowercase "u" with me!

It's working! It's working!

Let's keep going.

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

Children: "l"!

An "l"! In fact,

We need two lowercase "l"s.

Write them with me!

Presto!

Pull, whoa!

Uh, whew.

Spectacular spelling.

We spelled the word "pull"

So duckling could pull his beak out

From the tree.

Let's take a bow.

Maybe I'll try getting cherries

A different way.

I'll just reach

A little bit higher and...

[ Chomping ] yeah!

Oh, totally quacky beak!

Mmm-hmm, yum!

[ ♪♪♪ ]

You see more super letters?

Which letters did you find?

Children: "o", "i", "g".

Oh yeah! "O", "i", "g".

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

Computer!

Three more super letters,

And then we'll get our super story answer!

Right on, readers!

[ Gasp ] look over there.

Swans!

Whoa!

They sure are big birds.

[ Gasp ] let's go play near the swans!

Whoa!

Aw, quackers!

I still can't run and play without tripping!

What is happening to me?

[ Gasp ] I think you're changing, duckling.

Changing?

Changing into what?

Well, what does your story say?

Into a what?

My story doesn't say?

How will I find out what I'll grow into?

Super why to the rescue!

With the power to read,

I can change this story and save the day!

We have to figure out

What duckling will grow into.

I think he'll grow

Into another kind of bird.

Let's see.

Why writer, write!

Okay, super readers,

Which word is a kind of bird?

Let's try "swan".

Which is the word "swan"?

It starts with the letter "s".

Children: there!

There.

Now let's zap "swan"

Into the sentence.

Z-zap!

Let's read it

And see what happens.

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Gasp ]

Super readers: wow!

I'm a swan!

Super job, super readers!

We finished the story

And watched duckling grow into a swan!

Look at me go!

Wow! Your feet and beak

Aren't too big for your body anymore!

You were just growing

Into a swan all along!

We're sorry.

We shouldn't have called you "ugly duckling".

It wasn't nice.

Thanks.

Whew! I feel better

Knowing I was just growing.

Growing into a beautiful swan!

[ Chuckle ]

When we grow up,

We'll grow into ducks.

Come on, ducklings, let's go swimming!

Wait up!

Wow, you're so fast!

[ Triumphant ♪♪♪ ]

But... Why?

Red: the not-so-ugly-duckling

Couldn't fit in his nest,

And kept tripping over his feet.

He was changing and getting bigger.

Princess pea: because...

He was growing up!

So my question is:

Why don't I fit in my bed

And my sneakers like I used to?

And the answer is...

All: growing up!

Oh.

I'm growing up?

Yes!

That makes me feel so much better!

[ ♪♪♪ ]

[ Giggle ]

Poppa pig,

Look! Look! Look!

I'm growing up!

Well, look at that.

Poppa, I'm growing so big,

My feet stick out of my bed,

And my sneakers are even too tight!

My goodness, pig!

With all that growing,

I think I'll need to build you a bigger bed.

And I'm bigger, so I can help.

[ Laugh ] sure, why not?

[ ♪♪♪ ]

Guess what, everybody!

I'm growing up!

And now, I get to help poppa pig

Make me a new big bed!

Wow, cool, pig!

Wonderific!

Hmm, I wonder what I'll grow up to be.

Maybe I'll build huge skyscrapers

And buildings.

Maybe I'll be...

Queen of storybook village.

Maybe I'll be famous

For writing my very own comic books!

Maybe I'll win a gold medal,

For skating!
