This is fun, Melissa,
but let's play something else, okay?
Okay. What do you want to play?
Hey, how about "London Bridge"?
Oh, yeah!
Uh, no, we don't have enough people.
We'd have to have somebody else to play with us.
Like me?
BOTHBarney!
Hi, Tracy, hi there, Melissa.
And a very good morning to you.
Would you play "London Bridge" with us, please, Barney?
I'd be happy to.
It's one of my favorite games.
Barney and I can be the bridge
and you can go first, okay, Tracy?
Okay.
All right. If you're ready.
Hi!
Hey, hi, guys! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

But Sissy, I think Tracy was going to go first.
It's okay, Baby Bop, go ahead.
Thank you, Tracy.

You have to be the bridge now, Sissy.
You got caught the last time.
Well, I don't want to do that.
It's no fun being the bridge.
But we have to take turns.
That's how you play the game.
Well, it's not how I play the game.

Now that's my kind of game!
sing-song )I want to go first.
I'll be catcher.
Are you ready, Baby Bop?
I'll throw the ball and you hit it.
Then you run to first base,
then second, and then third.
Barney, I know how to play baseball.
Here comes the pitch.
Here comes.
And I go to first base.
Hey, Sissy, you didn't hit it.
You're not supposed to run yet.
Well, BJ, don't be silly.
It's more fun this way.
But that's not how you play the game.
Hey, guys, what are you playing?
It's supposed to be baseball,
but Sissy's not playing it right.
Well, I just made a touchdown, Riff.
Ay-yi-yi!
Well, I know a game we could all play.
Ooh, what is it?
I call it "Riff Sings."
Oh, the rules are very easy.
I sing something, they you sing it just like me.
If I say, "Riff sings."
Oh, well, then let's play.
You can play along, too.
Let's play "Riff Sings."
Okay, now remember, don't sing unless I say "Riff sings."

Sorry, Baby Bop, but you lose a turn now.
Well, that's no fun.
But that's the way you play the game, Sissy.
Oh, well, then I don't want to play.
Hey, hey, how about some hopscotch instead?
That's a great idea.
You'll like this game, Baby Bop.
Oh, up, up, up, looky, I'm so good at hopscotch.
Sissy, that's not how you play.
First of all, you have to take turns.
I am taking turns, BJ.
I'm taking my turn.
Oh, I give up.
If that's how you want to play, then fine.
I'm taking a break.
Now what's wrong with him?
I think he'd like it better
if you'd play by the rules, Baby Bop .
Well, I would play by the rules, but I...
I get confused and I can't really remember them all.
Maybe we can help you there.
Sure, we'll teach you the rules.

Hey, books are great, and I love 'em,
but today I want to be Captain Pickles.
Well, maybe there's something else we could do.
I know! Instead of reading a book,
we could write our own book.
Oh! Can it have pictures?
Sure! It can have a story with a beginning,
middle and end, just like a real book.
That's a wonderful idea.
Could we do that?
I think we could.

what it'll be about.

Well, how about a story with our own Captain Pickles?
Okay! Let's do it!
Okay. Um... 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!
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.
Wowzer! Oh, cool!
Oh, look at that!
Will you read it to us now, Barney? Please?
I'd be happy to.

Oh. Well, where did you lose it?
Well, if I knew that, it wouldn't be lost.
"They went running around the park, trying to find it.
But then the beautiful little girl stubbed her toe."
Ow! Ohh! My beautiful little toe!
How will I ever find my yellow blankey now?
Who can help me?
Aha! I'll help you! I'm Captain Pickles!
What's the problem?
Well, I lost my yellow blankey.
Oh-h*! I'll find it or my name's not Captain Pickles!

Alas, still no sign of the missing blankey.

Aha! Success!
No need for thanks.
It's all in a day's work for Captain Pickles!

And that is the end.
What an exciting book!
That was terrific!
And you thought up the whole story yourselves!
You know, now that I know how to make a book,
I think I love 'em 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.
