(female narrator) Hello, everyone,

and welcome to another wonderful day in Capital Town.

There’s Capital Castle.

I wonder what the ABC Monsters are doing today.

Let’s take a look inside.

Oh, dear.

It’s very quiet.

There’s nobody in the playground.

- Listen. [upbeat music]

Can you hear that?

It’s music.

Let’s see where it’s coming from.

That’s a relief.

We’ve managed to find everyone.

Look, there’s Queen Scribble.

She’s teaching everybody to do yoga,

and there’s Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

Yoga is a fun and easy way to stretch and exercise.

[laughs] Although it seems that F Monster

and X Monster are having a little trouble.

It looks like all the ABC Monsters are in need

of extra yoga practice.

Queen Scribble is doing a new yoga pose.

Let’s see if the ABC Monsters can do this one.

[laughs]

The ABC Monsters are obviously having a lot of fun.

Here comes King Wordy.

What’s that in his hand?

It’s a piece of string.

Hello, everyone.

Have you seen my yo-yo?

It was attached to this piece of string,

but now it’s gone.

Oh, dear.

Where could it be?

Maybe the ABC Monsters know where it is.

That’s a good idea.

Let’s round them up and find out.

(narrator) So with a wave of Cherry Berry’s Jester’s Stick,

all the ABC Monsters line up in alphabetical order.

Let’s sing along to the ABC song.

[cheerful music]

(all) ♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G

♪ H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P

♪ Q, R, S, T, U, V

♪ W, X, Y, and Z

(narrator) One of the ABC Monsters is missing,

but can you guess which one?

V, W, X, Z.

Hmm, that doesn’t sound right.

Oh, I know!

(narrator) That’s right.

The missing letter is Y.

Y Monster is missing this morning.

Let’s see if the ABC book knows where to find him.

The clue says...

The ABC book is pointing towards the countryside.

Let’s find Y Monster. Come on.

(narrator) Soon Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

were heading along a quiet country road

when suddenly the quiet was interrupted by--

[loud metallic noise]

What’s that strange noise?

It’s very loud.

It sounds like a bell ringing.

The ringing is coming from behind those bushes.

Let’s check it out.

It’s a bell. Somebody is ringing it.

(narrator) Look, everybody.

It’s Yasmin Young.

She’s ringing a cowbell.

I wonder why.

We should go over and say hello.

Hello, Yasmin. What are you doing?

I’m looking for my yak.

He’s big, hairy, and has big horns.

Y Monster said he’d seen him in this field.

But why are you ringing the bell?

This is a cowbell.

My yak likes the sound it makes.

He usually comes to me when I ring it.

It doesn’t seem to be working today.

Maybe he’s hiding.

If he’s hiding, he’s very good at it.

I can’t see him anywhere.

We might be able to help you find him, Yasmin.

Yes.

If we find your yak,

you can give us a clue to help find Y Monster.

That’s a wonderful idea.

(narrator) Can you help Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

find Yasmin’s yak?

Look very carefully and see if you can spot him.

Is he behind the haystacks,

the tractor,

the bushes,

or the trees?

Well done.

You found Yasmin’s yak.

He was hiding behind the haystack.

Oh, thank you. You found my big hairy yak.

Yak! That’s the answer to the clue.

The ABC book said...

Yasmin was looking for her yak.

(all) Y-a-k. Yak.

Hurray! We’ve completed the first puzzle.

And to help you find Y Monster,

here’s another clue for you to solve.

I hope my clue was helpful for you

and that you manage to track Y Monster down soon.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved good-bye to Yasmin Young

and continued on their journey.

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry arrive at the harbor.

Why have we come here, Cherry Berry?

Because the clue mentioned a yacht.

The harbor is the best place to find a yacht.

Yachts are the best boats.

I just love sailing in them.

I can see someone near the wooden jetty.

Let’s start looking there.

Hello, everyone. What are you doing here?

We’re looking for Y Monster.

Have you seen him today?

Yes. He helped me carry these tins of paint from the shop.

What color are you painting your yacht, Yvonne?

Yellow.

But I’m not sure which tin contains the yellow paint.

We’re good at spotting colors.

Well, if you can help me find the correct tin,

I’ll give you a clue that will lead you all to Y Monster.

Fantastic!

(narrator) Let’s help Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

find Yvonne’s yellow paint.

Is that it?

No, that’s a red paint tin.

Could this be the yellow paint?

No, that’s blue.

I wonder which one it is.

Can you see it yet?

That’s right.

You found Yvonne’s yellow paint.

Well done.

Thank you for finding the correct color.

My yacht will look bright and sunny

when it’s painted yellow.

Yellow! That’s the answer to the second clue.

So the answer must be yellow.

(all) Y-e-l-l-o-w.

Yellow.

Here’s the clue that I promised

would lead you to Y Monster.

Hey, I know where the toy shop is.

Really?

Yes, I always visit the toy shop.

It’s one of the best places in Capital Town.

What are we waiting for? Let’s go!

Good luck finding Y Monster.

Thank you, Yvonne.

(narrator) So Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved good-bye to Yvonne and set off to the toy shop.

The toy shop isn’t far now.

I wonder which toy Y Monster is getting repaired.

The clue said that it was King Wordy’s favorite toy.

He’s got so many toys.

I wonder which one it is.

We’ll soon find out.

Look, it’s the toy shop.

Brilliant. Let’s go and see if we can find Y Monster.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

arrived at the toy shop.

I’m very excited.

Why, Brian?

Because today we get to find Y Monster

and visit the toy shop.

(narrator) Can you see who I can see?

It’s Y Monster.

Hello, everyone.

What are you doing here at the toy shop?

Looking for you. What are you doing here?

I came to get King Wordy’s yo-yo fixed.

Uh, the string snapped, so I brought it here,

and the shopkeeper repaired it.

See? It works again. Good as new.

Wow, you’re very good with the yo-yo.

I’m not as good as King Wordy.

He knows all sorts of fancy tricks.

He’ll be happily surprised when you return it to him.

Maybe he’ll teach you some of his tricks.

I hope so.

I’d love to be as good as King Wordy with the yo-yo.

Yo-yo! That’s the answer to the final clue.

King Wordy’s favorite toy must be his yo-yo.

(all) Y-o-y-o. Yo-yo.

(Alice) Yo-yo is the answer to the final clue.

We solved all the puzzles...

Met new friends...

And found Y Monster.

(all) Hurray!

(narrator) King Wordy was so happy

that his yo-yo had been repaired,

he taught Y Monster his favorite trick...

[all cheering]

(narrator) So he could perform in front of all his friends.

(all) Hurray!

I put on a great show with my big yellow yo-yo.

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Welcome to ABC Monsters’ Brainy g*ng.

Say hello to our friends Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

Today we’re going to find out about the letter Y,

but first we’ll need the help of a special member

of the Brainy g*ng, Y Monster.

Y Monster thinks singing is fun,

so we’re all going to sing a great new song for him.

Are you ready?

[cheerful music]

♪

[bell tolling]

[applause]

(narrator) Here’s Y Monster.

He’s playing with his yo-yo,

and look, here comes Cherry Berry.

Can you work out what letter the yo-yo has turned into?

That’s right. It’s the letter Y. Y.

All together now. Say it with me.

Y. [laughs]

Look at Y Monster.

He’s trying to play with his new letter Y.

Let’s see if you can write the letter Y with Y Monster.

Have you got your paper and pencil ready?

Okay, then.

We’re drawing a big Y.

That’s right.

Let’s try and do another big Y.

You’ve just written the letter Y.

Well done.

[laughs] Y Monster is very happy,

because we can all write his favorite letter, Y.

Now that we all know how to write the letter Y,

let’s take a look at the following words

that begin with...

[laughs] You guessed it, Y.

Here’s a tin of paint,

but can you tell me what color it contains?

This is a primary color that is the same color as the sun.

Have you worked out what it is yet?

Shout out the answer if you know.

That’s right. It’s the color yellow.

Yellow. Y-e-l-l-o-w.

Yellow.

That’s right.

Let’s say it one more time.

Yellow.

Y-e-l-l-o-w.

Yellow.

Are you ready to solve puzzle number two?

Okay, here’s another one.

Can you guess what this animal is called?

He’s big, hairy, and has horns on his head.

We often find this type of animal in the Himalayas.

That’s right. It’s a yak.

Now let’s see what the word "yak" looks like.

Yak.

Y-a-k. Yak.

[yak lows]

Excellent. Let’s say that again.

Yak. Y-a-k.

- Yak. [yak lows]

You’re doing very well.

You’ve answered two questions correctly.

Let’s see if you can get the third

and final question right as well.

Do you know what this object is called?

Here is a clue.

You can flick this object up and down a string.

With lots of practice, you can do tricks with it.

Have you worked out what it’s called?

That’s right.

It’s called a yo-yo,

and here’s what the word "yo-yo" looks like.

Say it with me. Yo-yo.

Y-o-y-o.

Yo-yo. That’s right.

Let’s say it together once more.

Yo-yo. Y-o-y-o.

Yo-yo.

Can you think of any more words that begin with the letter Y?

Everyone in the Brainy g*ng needs to keep fit and active,

so get ready for another fun-packed ABC Monster move.

[applause] - Hello, everybody.

Stand up and get ready to have some fun.

Now clap your hands in the air like this.

Great work, everyone.

Now it’s time to get fit with the ABC Monsters,

and today we’ll be doing the Y Monster move.

Watch Alice closely as she shows you what to do.

It’s easy.

If Alice can do it, so can you.

Are you ready? Here we go.

Use your body to make a big Y.

That’s it.

That was easy, wasn’t it? Shall we try that again?

A big Y. That’s it.

Now that you know the Y Monster move, we can all do it together.

Are you ready?

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four,

and three, two, three, four.

Four, two, three, four.

That was fun.

Let’s see if you can do it again.

Are you ready?

Okay, then.

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four,

and three, two, three, four.

Four, two, three, four.

Brilliant.

You’ve successfully completed the Y Monster move.

Let’s have a short rest to get our breath back,

because next it’s the ABC Monster quest.

Look, everybody. It’s our old friend Yvonne.

Hello, Yvonne.

Hello, everyone.

What are you doing here, Yvonne?

I’m looking for my yacht, but the jetty is so big,

I can’t find it.

Don’t worry, Yvonne. We’ll help you find your yacht.

(narrator) Can you help lead Yvonne back to her yellow yacht?

Just fill in the box with the correct letter

and help guide her along the jetty.

Look carefully at the following letters.

Can you tell me which one fits correctly in the box

to make a word?

Is it P,

K,

or the letter R?

That’s right.

The correct letter is K.

Yak. Y-a-k.

Yak.

You solved the first word correctly,

but can you work out the second puzzle?

Which letter do you think we should put into the box?

Letter F,

L,

or Y?

That’s right.

The letter we need to put into the box is Y.

Yo-yo.

Y-o-y-o. Yo-yo.

Well done.

Now for the final puzzle.

Do you think you can complete it?

Which letter should we put into the box?

Is it E, P,

or could it be the letter Z?

Excellent answer.

You’ve picked the correct letter again, the letter E.

Well done.

Three out of three.

Yellow.

Y-e-l-l-o-w.

Yellow.

Well done.

You’ve cleverly guided Yvonne to her yellow yacht.

Thank you for guiding me back to my yacht.

Now I can sail out to view the beautiful sea.

(all) Hurray!

(narrator) That’s all we have time for today.

I hope you enjoyed finding out about the letter Y.

But before we go, let’s sing along to the ABC song

as we say good-bye to Alice, Brian, Cherry Berry,

and our very special star of the show, Y Monster.
