- Those purple flowers are so pretty.
- Aren't they?
- Mom, can I use your phone to take a picture
of you with the flowers?
- Sure.
[camera shutter]
- Look at that cool orange butterfly.
I've gotta get a picture of that.
[camera shutter]
Oh and that huge red tomato.
Wanna see my awesome pictures?
- Of course.
Let's take a look.
[sad music]
[scoffs]
- These didn't come out awesome at all.
What did I do wrong?
- Well, maybe you just need to focus the camera.
- How do I do that?
- I'll show you.
Let's say you wanna take a picture of a purple flower.
[playful music]
- Okay.
- Now try to get the flower in the centre of the frame.
- Like this?
- Right! See? That helps you focus the picture.
- Hey, yeah!
[camera shutter]
That came out really good.
- It sure did.
[buzzing] Do you hear something?
- It's my game.
[phasing]
- Hey, Rae. - Wanna play Skillsville?
- Can I, Mom?
- Sure! I have a few more flowers to water.
- I'm in.
Launch Skillsville!
- Racer Rae!
- Whoo!
- Devosaurus!
[growling]
ParCora!
[grunting]
Welcome to Skillsville!
- Hi, hey, hello!
- Scout! - Hey there.
- Hi, Scout.
Hey, check it out.
That cloud looks kind of like a rabbit in a race car.
I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it.
- You mean a camera like... this.
- Whoa!
I can take great pictures with this.
The trick is to centre the shot to help the camera focus.
- Oh! - Cool!
- Wow, there are so many great things around here
to pictures of!
- Well, I have just the job for you today.
You see-- Uh. You see, Skillsville--
Skillsville needs a--
Skillsville needs a photographer!
- Really?
I'd love to be a photographer.
- You'd be perfect for the job.
- Yeah!
- Then let's snap to it!
To the telepuddle that is.
- Whoo-hoo! - Yeah!
[grunting]
[crowd cheering] - Whoa!
What's going on here?
[cheering continues]
- There is a big stunt show about to start.
- Oh! What kind of stunt show?
- Introducing the most famous motorcyclist
in all of Skillsville.
Super Stunt Beeple!
[Beeples cheering]
- Wow! - Whoa!
[motorcycle rumbling]
[beeping] [ding]
- Today, Super Stunt Beeple needs a photographer
to take pictures of the big stunt show.
What do you say, Racer Rae?
Think you've got the skills to get the job done?
- Yes! I already know how to focus the camera.
And I love stunts!
[motorcycle rumbling]
- I think the show's about to begin.
- We'll be cheering from the sidelines.
Good luck, Rae.
- Time for this photographer to get some cool action shots.
- Photographer Challenge:
Take pictures of the first stunt,
The Wild Wheelies!
- Whoa!
Oh! I better follow so I can get a picture.
[motorcycle rumbling]
Wow, that's fast!
Good thing I'm fast too.
Maybe I can do wheelies like that.
[upbeat music]
I'm doing it!
Check me out.
- Aren't you supposed to be taking pictures?
- Oh! Oh, that's right.
I'm supposed to take pictures of the wheelies.
[motorcycle rumbling]
[camera shutter]
- How did the picture come out, Rae?
- Let's see.
- Ooh! Just missed the wheelie.
[disappointed beeping]
- I was so distracted doing my own wheelies
that I didn't take the picture until it was too late.
- Oh, that's ruff!
But there are more stunts to take pictures of.
So you'll get another chance.
- But maybe this time, you should leave the stunts
to Super Stunt Beeple.
- Try staying in one spot to take a picture.
- Good idea.
- Photographer Challenge:
Take pictures of Super Stunt Beeple's next stunt,
The Bouncy Boings!
- This I've got to see. Come on!
[crowd cheering]
- I'm gonna stay in one place so I don't get distracted.
[engine revving]
[playful music]
- Wow! Bouncing on one tire?
I've never seen anything like that.
So cool!
- Rae! - Pictures!
- Hello! - Huh?
- Your camera! - Take pictures!
- Oh, oops! I have to take a picture of the Bouncing Boings.
[bouncing]
- Did you get the shot?
- Ah, I don't know.
- Too late! Sorry.
[disappointed beeping]
- I can't believe I missed it again.
[motorcycle rumbling]
- Yay! Whoo!
- Super Stunt Beeple is counting on me to get these pictures.
I don't know what to do.
I need to pause!
[cheering stops]
I keep getting distracted and taking the pictures too late.
Ah! I just wish I could focus!
- I thought you knew how to focus the camera.
- I do, but I mean, I wish I could focus my attention
on what I'm supposed to be doing.
- Taking pictures?
- Right!
It's hard to stay focused on being a photographer
when the stunts are so fun to watch.
- Hmm, if only there was a way to remind yourself
to stay focused so you don't miss the shot.
- Hey! Maybe I could just repeat that to myself.
"Stay focused. Don't miss it."
"Stay focused. Don't miss it."
- Seems like a good strategy.
Am I right?
- I'll try it. Unpause.
[Beeples cheering]
- Yay!
- Photographer Challenge:
Take pictures of the next super stunt,
The Heart-Pounding Handstand!
- Ooh! Let's go watch.
- You've got this, Rae.
- I hope I get this.
- Let's make some noise, Beeples!
Handstand, handstand!
[Beeples mimicking] Handstand, handstand!
- Wow! The crowd is really into it.
[engine revving]
Wait, I can't get distracted.
Stay focused. Don't miss it.
Stay focused. Don't miss it.
Stay focused. Don't miss it.
What a stunt!
- What a photo!
It's picture perfect!
[beeping cheerfully]
- Yes! I got the shot.
- Yes! - Way to go!
- Woof-hoo!
[engine revving]
[beeping]
- Aww, is the show over?
- No, no, no, no.
Super Stunt Beeple is just switching to the jumping cycle.
- Jumping cycle?
There's gonna be a jump?
- And now for the big moment!
Super Stunt Beeple will be trying for a new world record!
A super motorcycle jump
over five giant rubber ducks!
- This is gonna be epic!
- Photographer Challenge...
- Let me guess.
Take a picture of the big jump?
- You'll only have one chance to capture the moment
when history is made!
- Only one chance?
- I'll get the shot.
And I'm not gonna let anything distract me.
[engine revving]
- Oh, doggy, that is one sweet ride.
Hey, take a picture of me!
Do I look like a Super Stunt Pupperfly?
Ah!
- Oh no! - Scout!
[grunting]
[engine revving]
- Scout!
- We're on it, Rae!
Do your thing.
- Okay, I won't get distracted.
Stay focused. Don't miss it.
Stay focused. Don't miss it.
Stay focused. Don't miss it.
[engine revving]
[tense music]
[camera shutter] - It's a new world record!
[Beeples cheering]
- Best jump ever!
- But do we have a photo?
We do! And what a photo it is!
[Beeping cheerfully]
- Yeah!
- She did it! - Yes!
- Photographer Challenge Complete.
You're the picture of success!
- How do I stop this thing?
[engine revving]
[squeaking]
Phew. Well, that's one way to stop it.
[engine revving]
[beeping rapidly]
- Super Stunt Beeple says,
"Thank you for taking the pictures."
- You're welcome!
[ding]
[engine revving]
Wow! That was thrilling.
- You're a great photographer, Rae!
- Thanks, but next time we play Skillsville,
I already know what I wanna be.
A stunt person! Yippie!
[tense music]
- Yes! - Sweet!
- Wow, wow, wow! - See ya next time, everyone.
- Bye. - See ya, Scout.
- Great job today. Later, Gamers.
- I'm done with my game, Mom.
You're just in time to catch the last glimpse of the sunset.
- Ooh! That would make a beautiful picture.
- You're right! Better do it quickly.
- I'm gonna focus my shot. Oh, look!
That pretty butterfly is back... No!
I'm not gonna get distracted.
Stay focused. Don't miss it.
[camera shutter] Check it out!
I got it, Mom.
- It's beautiful!
You really have quite an eye for photography.
- Just as long as I focus.
And stay focused.
[laughing]
[Dev]: Hey, T-Rex! Listen to this.
Some say that T-Rex dinosaurs
could roar louder than a jet engine.
And jet engines are loud!
[growling]
[meowing] [laughing]
We'll have to practise our roars.
But first how about I read you another book
I got from the library.
It's all about prehistoric cats!
[meowing] I'll take that as a yes.
Now where is that book?
[buzzing]
Sounds like my friends wanna play.
- Hey, Rae. Hey, Cora.
- Hi, Dev. Wanna play Skillsville?
[meowing]
- Looks like my reading partner is ready for a cat nap
so sure! Let's play.
Launch Skillsville!
- Devosaurus!
[growling]
ParCora!
[grunting]
Racer Rae!
- Whoo!
- Welcome to Skillsville!
- Hi, hey, hello, gamers!
[all]: Hi, Scout.
[paper rustling]
- Is that an origami bird? - Oh, yeah!
- It does look like it's made from folded paper.
- Hello, fellow flyer.
[beeping]
[beeping sadly] Uh-huh.
Oh!
This Birdwatcher Beeple wants to find out more about paper birds,
but doesn't know how.
- How about trying the library?
They have books about all kinds of things.
- Great idea!
Let's do it! Follow me!
- To the telepuddle! - Scout.
The library's right behind us.
- Right, to the library!
Wow!
I have never been inside the library before.
Who knew there were so many books here?
- Not just books, there's all sorts of things
you can find here. And lots of things to do.
We just need a librarian to help us.
- Well, sounds like you've got the skills to get the job done.
- You mean... to be a librarian?
- You should do it, Dev.
- Yeah, you're at the library all the time.
- Okay! I'd love to be a librarian!
- Woof-hoo!
[shushing]
- You have to be quiet in libraries.
Because people are reading.
- Sorry.
[silently]: Woof-hoo!
- Librarian-- [shushing]
Oh, sorry.
Librarian Challenge:
Help the Birdwatching Beeple borrow a book about birds.
- I'll find a book about paper birds for you.
- With so many books here,
how do you know where to find the one you want?
- Librarians are really organized.
They group the books together by subject
to make them easier to find.
Look! This bookcase has books about plants.
[Rae]: This one has books about insects.
[Cora]: And that one has books about birds.
- Great! Let's see if they have books about paper birds.
Ah! Here it is.
The Flying Paper Bird Book.
- There it goes! - Whoa!
It's a flying book about paper birds.
- Oh come back here!
- There it goes! - Get it!
- We need that book! - Oops!
- Uh-oh! - Come back!
- Uh-oh. - Okay.
- We need that book. [grunting]
- There it is.
Let's grab it on the count of three.
One, two...
- I got it!
[grunting] [books clattering]
Three...
Sorry, everyone!
My bad!
[shushing] Okay, I will shush,
but you have to shush too.
[shushing]
[sad music]
[beeping]
- I found a book about paper birds for you.
- But it's under this big pile.
- What a mess!
- I'll have to dig that book out.
And put away all these books.
And there's so many.
I don't know what to do. I need to pause!
[shushing]
All these books are out of order now.
This'll take forever to put away.
- Didn't you say that librarians are really organized?
- They are! So maybe I need to get organized.
[gasps] I know!
I'll do what librarians do.
I'll group the books together by subject.
That'll make it easier to put them away.
- That sounds like a good strategy.
- Okay, now I know what to do.
Unpause!
[shushing resumes]
Don't worry. I'll take your book out of this pile soon.
[beeping]
Okay. All these books are from these three bookcases.
So let's group all of the books about birds over here.
And group all the books about insects over here.
And group all the books about plants over here.
- Way to get organized.
- Let's get grouping.
[playful music]
- The Buzzing Bees book.
This goes in the insects pile.
[ding]
- The Whimsical Whisper of Willow Trees.
[wind blowing]
Plants pile. [ding]
- Great Jumping Grasshopper. Whoa!
Okay, well, grass is a plant,
so plants pile!
- But grasshoppers are insects.
So insects pile. [ding]
Songbirds. [birds tweeting]
Birds pile.
- Creepy crawlers. Ah!
Insect pile. [ding]
- Plants pile. - Insects pile.
- Birds pile. - Plants!
- Plants!
- Birds!
- Insects! - Birds.
[ding] - There's only two books left.
- And the one underneath looks like it's trying to fly.
- That's got to be the Flying Paper Birds book.
- Okay, Dev.
I'll lift the top book and you grab the bottom book.
Huh? On the count of three.
One, two...
Four! I mean three!
[grunting]
- Got it!
- I'll group this last book.
Stinky Stink Bugs. [sniffing]
Eew, it is stinky.
Insects pile.
- Books organized!
- Alright. - Sweet.
Now that we grouped all these books,
we can help put them away.
[upbeat music] - Thanks.
And I'll give this book to the Birdwatcher Beeple.
[playful music]
Here you go!
A Flying Paper Bird Book about Flying Paper Birds.
Hold it tight so it doesn't fly away.
I'll take your library card.
beep And you're all set.
[beeping happily]
You're welcome.
- Check it out!
You help the Beeple check out the book.
Level complete!
- Yes!
[beeping]
[laughing]
- Another Birdwatcher.
- Hey, I have an idea.
I can make a Birdwatchers' Club here at the library.
Then anyone who is interested in birds
can meet here and learn about birds together.
[gasps] - Librarians make clubs too?
- Yup! They plan all kinds of activities.
- I've done lots of fun things at our library.
I didn't know librarians plan them all.
- I think starting a Birdwatchers' Club
is a great idea!
[beeping happily]
- Oh, yes, yes. Okay.
These Beeples are interested in being
in other kinds of clubs too.
- Librarian Challenge Level Two:
Make clubs for all the Beeples.
- All of them?
But how am I going to keep track
of what all these Beeples want to do?
- I guess you'll just have to get organized again.
- Oh yeah!
I can make groups based on what the Beeples like.
Okay. Is there anyone else here who's into birdwatching?
[beeping] Great!
The Birdwatchers Club can meet here
and look up all kinds of birds on the library's computers.
Cora, can you help get them started?
- On it! Come with me.
[beeping cheerfully]
- What else are you all interested in?
[beeping] - Uh-huh, oh! Painting.
Oh nice. Oh, drawing. Okay, and, uh...
Collage, decoupage?
Sorry, Dev, they like all different things.
- But what they all have in common
is they like to do Arts and Crafts.
So we can put them in the same group
with an Arts and Crafts Club.
Who wants to be a part of that?
[beeping]
- I'll help set that up.
Follow me!
- And what do you Beeples like to do?
[beeping]
- Read books about detectives.
[beeping] Read books about sports.
[beeping] Read books about potatoes--
Whoa. Potatoes?
[beeping]
Huh? Well, those are pretty different interests.
- Hmm, you're right,
but what they all have in common is they like to read.
Would any of you like to be in a book reading club?
[beeping excitedly]
- Oh, oh, oh! I could help with that.
We could ready my favourite book.
Lord of the Pupperflies.
- So now we have Birdwatchers' Club.
And Arts and Crafts Club.
And a Book Reading Club.
- Join the club. There's one for everyone.
Librarian Challenge Complete.
- Epic! - Yes!
[beeping cheerfully]
- Excuse me! We use our quiet voices in the library.
Later, Gamers.
- See ya next time, Scout. - Bye, Scout.
- Catch ya later.
- Bye, Dev. - See ya.
[meowing]
- Oh good, you're awake, T-Rex.
Ready for me to read you that book about prehistoric cats?
It's gotta be around here somewhere.
It would be a lot easier to find my books if I got organized.
Am I right? [meowing]
I know. I'll put the books into groups.
Over here will be the books I got from the library.
And over here will be my own books.
[upbeat music]
My book. Library book.
My book. Library book.
My book.
Oops!
Hey, that's the library book I was looking for.
You are a great organizer, T-Rex!
[laughing]
