Hi, princess pea.

Cool party.

[ Giggle ] thanks!

Have some party punch.

Oh! Hi, sleeping beauty.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay.

I didn't sleep very well last night.

That's not good if your name is sleeping beauty.

Now I feel grumpy.

Oh.

Well, maybe you'd like some party punch?

It's strawberry.

No... No party punch.

Okay, everyone, time for music!

A giant hill of snow.

A princess is always prepared.

Spell with me!

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

Children: "s"!

"S"! Write an "s" with me!

Like a snake.

Lovely "s". [ Giggle ]

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

Children: "n"!

"N"! Let's write an "n"!

"N"!

The letters "o" and "w"

Make the long "oh" sound in this word.

First, let's write an "o".

Now let's write the "w".

He's back!

I didn't stop you

From getting to the land of sweets!

But I can stop you from having more fun.

Ha-ha, I know!

I will stop the music!

Various: oh, no!

Mouse king, start the music at once!

Never!

[ Grunts ]

I... Ah...

I can't get the... The music to play.

That's because it's in our story.

See?

I have stopped the music forever!

There will be no party!

What will we do?

Ready, set, z-zap!

Let's read.

[ Chomping ]

Mouse king, we're the super readers,

And we want to talk to you.

Why are you so grumpy?

Because...

I ran out of cheese!

[ Sobbing ]

So, because I wasn't having any fun,

I didn't want anyone else to have fun either.

[ Crying ] I'm sorry.

Mouse king,

Do you know what you need to do?
