Hello to you too.

I'm so glad to see you today.

I have a feeling it's going to be a very special day!

- Barney, Barney look-y what I found in the caboose!

It's a book I never saw before.

Will you read it to me please?

- Well, I'd be happy to!

- Hi Barney!

Hi Sissy! - Hi BJ!

- What you doing?

- We were just about to read the book Baby Bop found.

It's called The Land of Mother Goose.

- Oh, of course you know

the Land of Mother Goose isn't real, right Sissy?

- It is too!

It's where Little Miss Muffet lives.

Oh, and Little Boy Blue too!

- That's just in a book, right Barney?

- Well BJ, whenever we open a book

we get to go to special places and meet special friends!

Yeah, but nobody really actually lives

in the Land of Mother Goose.

- Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that BJ.

Whoa!

(chiming)

- Hey, who rang the doorbell?

- Let's find out.

- But Barney, the door. - [Baby Bop] Yeah, Barney.

Wow! - [BJ] Oh wow!

Who's that?

- Why, it's Little Miss Muffet.

- Yes, hello everyone.

- [Baby Bop] Hi!

- I don't believe it!

- Have you seen Mother Goose around here?

I really need her help.

- No, she isn't here, but maybe we could help.

- Oh, could you please?

I've been looking all over the Land of Mother Goose

for my tuffet.

- Your tuffet? - What's a tuffet?

- It's a little stool that you sit on.

- Well, how about this?

Will this do?

- Thank you, but I don't think so.

It's much too big.

If I don't find that tuffet I won't have all my rhyme,

and in the Land of Mother Goose everything has a rhyme.

- How does your rhyme go again, Miss Muffet?

- Well, I can't sing it because I don't have all of it.

- Well, what if we sing the missing parts?

- Okay, I guess we can try.

- Cool. - Great!

Come on everyone.

♪ Little Miss Muffet

♪ Sat on her tuffet

♪ Eating her curds and whey

♪ Along came a spider who sat down beside her

♪ And frightened Miss Muffet away

(bell ringing)

I wonder who that could be.

- Check it out, Barney.

- [Baby Bop] Oh, it's gonna be somebody fun.

(laughing)

- Oh Polly, it's good to see you.

- Hi Barney, is Mother Goose here?

I really need her help.

- She's not here.

Can we help?

- Barney, I can't find my tea kettle anywhere.

- How about this watering can?

It looks like a tea kettle.

- Thank you, but I need a real one

or I can't rhyme.

- Well, how does your rhyme go?

- I can't show you because part of it is missing.

- Well, let us sing that part for you.

- Yeah!

♪ Polly put the

♪ Kettle on

♪ Polly put the

♪ Kettle on

♪ Polly put the

♪ Kettle on

♪ We'll all drink tea

- [Barney] That's it, good job.

- [Baby Bop] I like it!

(bell ringing)

- Let me see who that is.

I can't wait. - [BJ] Yeah, this is so cool.

Awesome!

- Well, hello Little Boy Blue.

- Hiya, Barney!

- Did you lose something too?

- How'd you know?

- Oh, lucky guess.

- Can you guess what Little Boy Blue has lost?

- Let me try!

How does it go?

Oh yeah, Little Boy Blue come blow your horn.

Aha, did you lose your horn?

- Yep, and if I don't find it ...

- [All] You can't rhyme!

- Will you please sing your rhyme for us?

We can sing the missing part.

- Great idea!

♪ Little Boy Blue

♪ Come blow your horn

♪ The sheeps in the meadow the cows in the corn

♪ Where's the boy who looks after the sheep

♪ He's under the haystack fast asleep

- Uh-oh, there he goes. - Very nice.

- Hey, here's a kazoo!

Sounds sort of like a horn?

- Nope, that's not gonna work.

- How about a tambourine?

- Nope, that's not gonna work either.

- Oh, oh, oh, how about these cymbals?

(crashing)

(laughing)

- I think Little Boy Blue really needs to find his horn.

(bell ringing)

I'll get it.

I wonder who this could be.

(triumphant music)

I can't believe it.

Mother Goose, what a nice surprise!

- Hello, Barney.

Hello, everyone!

- [All] Hi, Mother Goose!

- Mother Goose, we've been looking everywhere for you.

- Yes, I heard that some of you

are missing parts of rhymes.

Oh, and that will not do

because I love to speak in rhymes!

♪ Oh I'm Mother Goose and I'm here to say

♪ That I love to speak in rhyme

♪ I've been around for many many years

♪ For a very very very long time

♪ She's been around for many many years

♪ For a very very very long time

- Very nice.

(laughing)

♪ Now what is a rhyme you ask

♪ What is a rhyme you say

♪ Rhyming words will sound the same

♪ Like fiddle and diddle

♪ Name and game

♪ Like farmer and the dell

♪ p*ssy in the well

♪ I like to speak in rhyme

♪ Oh I'm Mother Goose and I'm here to say

♪ That I love to speak in rhyme

♪ I've been around for many many years

♪ For a very very very long time

♪ She's been around for many many years

♪ For a very very very long time

That was great, Mother Goose.

- Thank you, Barney.

(laughing)

Now BJ, will you help me with my bag?

- Oh yes ma'am.

I'll get the bag.

(grunting)

- Mother Goose, what do you have in there?

Oh, I forgot I'm sorry!

Here, I'll get that.

I found some things laying around the land.

Miss Muffet, I believe this is what you've been looking for.

- My tuffet!

Thank you!

- You're welcome.

Oh, and Polly here's your tea kettle.

Be sure and keep a close eye on it in the future.

- Yes, ma'am.

- And, Little Boy Blue I have something for you!

- My horn!

- Yes, it's very tarnished young man.

I suggest a bit of polish.

- Yes, ma'am.

Thank you!

- Well Mother Goose, it looks like

all the rhymes are complete.

Now, let's put them all together.

(cheering)

♪ Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet

♪ Eating her curds and whey

♪ Along came a spider who sat down beside her

♪ And frightened Miss Muffet away

- Eek!

♪ Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet

♪ Eating her curds and whey

♪ Along came a spider who sat down beside her

♪ And frightened Miss Muffet away

- Oh no!

- Your rhyme sounds splendid, Little Miss Muffet.

- Thank you!

- Polly, you're next!

♪ Polly put the kettle on

♪ Polly put the kettle on

- Thank you Polly. - [Barney] That sounds good!

- You're welcome.

- Yummy!

And now, let's hear from Little Boy Blue!

(cheering)

That was wonderful,

but we must get back to the Land of Mother Goose

before everyone thinks we're missing!

- Okay.

- [All] Bye, Barney!

- Bye!

- Mother Goose?

- Yes, BJ?

- Well, when will we see you again?

- Just look me up.

I'm in the book.

- Oh, yeah. (laughing)

- Okay, I'll see you later.

Oh, what a wonderful visit.

I'm so glad they could drop by.

- You see, BJ?

There really is a Land of Mother Goose.

- Yeah, and someday I want to go there!

Just to make sure it's real.

- Anything is possible with a little imagination,

and no matter where we go it's always more fun

when we're with friends.

- Now, here's something that'll tickle your funny bone!

- Why do bees have sticky hair?

- Sticky hair?

I don't know, why?

- Because they have honey combs!

- Once upon a time not so long ago

two little children were walking through the park

when suddenly they looked up and saw?

- [All] Barney!

- Hi, everybody.

Good to see you.

Hi there.

- Will you excuse me please?

- Sure!

- [Both] See ya Barney!

- See you soon.

- BJ?

- Beej?

- Hi Riff, hi Baby Bop.

Is something the matter?

- We can't find BJ.

- Have you seen him?

- I haven't seen BJ, but whoa!

Who's that?

- Oh, it's Captain Pickles!

- Make way for pickle power!

We better go check.

I hope he's okay.

- [Baby Bop] BJ, where are you?

- Don't know, too dark to tell.

- [Barney] Well, there he is.

Let's go help him. - Hold tight, Beej.

- Oh, thanks.

You're stepping on my tail.

- Okay, BJ.

Are you all right, BJ?

- Yeah, sure.

Whoa, look out!

Ow, I think I stubbed my toe.

- You better sit down for a while.

- But, I'm Captain Pickles!

I have to run and jump and play.

Ow!

I can't just sit in here.

- Well, what can we do in here?

Maybe we can read a good book.

(laughing)

- Hey, books are great and I love them,

but today I want to be Captain Pickles!

- Well, maybe there's something else we can do.

I know!

Instead of reading a book, we could write our own book!

- Can it have pictures?

- Sure!

It can have a story with a beginning, middle, and end.

Just like a real book!

- Oh, that's a wonderful idea!

- Could we do that?

- I think we could.

- We just have to think what it will be about.

- It can be about anything you want.

That's the wonderful thing about a book,

they can take you anywhere, you can do anything,

be anything you imagine.

- What will we write about?

- Well, how about a story with our own Captain Pickles?

- Okay!

Let's do it!

- Okay.

What do we do first?

- Well, to make a book you have to write a story.

That's what the author does.

- Oh, I can do that.

I need a pencil and some paper.

- Okay.

Then you draw pictures.

That's what an illustrator does.

- Oh, we can do that!

- There all done.

The Adventures of Captain Pickles.

- Oh, that's a stupendous title!

- Oh, thanks!

But, how do we make all these pages into a book?

- I think I can help with that.

- [All] Cool!

- Oh, look at that!

Will you read it to us now Barney, please?

- I'd be happy to.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful little girl

who lost her yellow blankie

and didn't know where to find it.

- Someone help me!

I've lost my lost my yellow blankie!

- Well, where did you lose it?

- If I knew that it wouldn't be lost.

- [Barney] They went running around the park

trying to find it, but then the beautiful little girl

stubbed her toe.

- Oh, oh!

My beautiful little toe!

How will I ever find my yellow blankie now?

Who can help me?

- I'll help you!

I'm Captain Pickles!

What's the problem?

- Well, I lost my yellow blankie.

- Oh, I'll find it or my name's not Captain Pickles!

And, it is.

No blankie here.

Alas, still no sign of the missing blankie.

Onward!

Scanning with perfect vision.

Aha!

Success!

- Captain Pickles!

- No need for thanks!

It's all in a days work for Captain Pickles!

- [Baby Bop] My hero!

- And, that is the end.

What an exciting book.

- That was terrific! - Oh yeah!

- And, you thought of the whole story yourselves.

- You know, now that I know how to make a book

I think I love them even more.

Hey, my toe feels a lot better.

- So, are you ready to run and jump

and play some more, Beej?

- To tell you the truth, Riff,

I was hoping we could read some more books.

- We came in to find some more books too.

- I know just where to find those.

Right here.

- [All] In the library!

- That's right, very good.
