I like it already.

How do you play?

You spin the spinner,

then you move your piece

to that color square.

[ gasps ] I got yellow.

Ohh, you landed
in Roy-hollow.

That means
anyone named Roy

gets five points.

Five points for me!

OK.

h* h*. Red!

Yes! A Roy bonus blast--

Anyone named Roy gets
ten bonus blast points!

[ imitates blast off ]

If I wanna win,

[ Roy and Tilly laugh ]

Good morning,
monster-sitters.

Thanks for coming
bright and early.

I'm off to work,

and Tilly here
has to get to camp.

Camp Monster-dale.

[ chuckles ]
That's right,

and she still needs
to eat her breakfast,

comb her fur,

and grab her backpack
before the bus comes.

Eat her breakfast,
comb her fur,

and grab her backpack.

Got it.

Don't worry, Mr. Plink.

We'll get Tilly ready

for camp in no time.

[ wristwatch beeps ]

Well... time to ride.

[ Tilly grunting ]

- Beep, beep.
- Beep, beep.

Have fun at camp, kiddo.

- Esme: Bye, Mr. Plink.
- Tilly: Bye, Daddy.

See you later.

- Esme: Come on.
- Tilly: Yay!

You know, Tilly,
when I was a little monster,

I went to
camp Monster-dale, too.

Did you really?

Meatball-eatin' champ
four years running.

Esme:
Aww. Little Roy is so cute.

[ sighs ] I still know
every word to the camp song.

Ready for
a big camp breakfast?

Tilly ready!

Great. It's like
I always say...

"Breakfast is
the most important meal

before lunch."

[ Esme and Tilly giggle ]

[ Roy humming ]

Ta-da! My specialty.

Monster-cakes!

Mmm. Tilly love
monster-cakes.

Open up
for a big bite.

Ahh-- [ gasps ]
Ooh! Car!

[ Tilly giggles ]

Whoa! [ chuckles ]

[ swallows ] Mmm.
Monster-cakes.

Vroom, vroom.

Tilly drive fast.

Tilly! Wait!

Follow that monster!

[ Tilly giggles ]

Hmm. I wonder where Tilly is.

- [ Tilly giggles ]
- Is Tilly behind the towels?

Tilly: Nope!

Hmm. Is Tilly...

under the bath mat?

[ Tilly giggles ] No.

Is Tilly...

behind the shower curtain?

- [ gasps ] There you are!
- [ gasps ] There you are!

You found Tilly!

We sure did.

Now let's get you
ready for camp.

The bus in on its way.

Can you show us

how you comb your fur?

Hmm. OK, but first...

Tilly make Roy pretty.

Got to admit.
I do look pretty.

Esme, Roy, come play.

- Esme: Tilly.
- Roy: Wait for us.

Roy, Esme, it's teatime.

[ gasps ] Are those scones?

Wait-- Tilly, we don't
have time for a tea party.

We have to get you
ready for camp.

Yeah. You still have
to eat your breakfast,

comb your fur,
and grab your backpack.

Backpack.

That's right.

Good.

Look what Tilly has.

Who knew you could fit

that much stuff
in such a little bag?

[ Tilly squeals and grunts ]

Whoa! [ giggles ]

Peekaboo!

Kid:
High Five.

- [ campers laughing ]
- [ Esme gasps ]

Esme: Uh-oh, Roy.

Campers are already
waiting for the bus.

We don't have a lot of time.

Come on.

Hurry, Tilly.

We've got to pack up.

Play peekaboo?

Sorry.
We can't play right now.

It's time
to get ready for camp.

But...

But Tilly want to play

with her monster-sitters.

Tilly want to play cars...

and tea party... and peekaboo!

[ Tilly crying ]

Uh-oh. Monster meltdown!

[ sighs ]

Aww, come here, Tilly.

I know you're upset,

but it'll be OK.

♪ Take a deep breath
and count to three ♪

[ inhales and exhales ]

One, two, three.

Good. Now why don't you
go pack up your tent?

[ giggles ]

Psst. Roy...
Monster huddle.

[ gasps ]
Tilly's favorite book.

The bus in on its way,

and Tilly's still
not getting ready for camp.

She just wants
to play with us.

Can you blame her?

We're so much fun
to play with.

I mean, remember Roy-opoly?

What a blast.

Wait a monster-minute.

That's it.

Maybe we can play with Tilly

if we make
getting ready a game.

Tilly,

you want to play

with your monster-sitters,
right?

Uh-huh.

Great. Then let's play...

Tilly's getting-ready game.

[ gasps ]
Tilly want to play.

Tilly want to play!

All you have to do
is spin the spinner

and move to that color square.

You get points
for getting ready,

and when you get
ten points, you win.

[ gasps ] Can Tilly play now?

Can she? Can she?
Can she? Can she?

Yep. Get ready, guys.

It's playtime.

Yay! Whoo-hoo! Hooray!

Red.

Red is in the kitchen.

Come on, Tilly.
Gotta get ready for camp.

Gotta get ready
for camp.

Gotta get ready for camp.

Gotta get ready
for camp!

[ British accent ] Behold!

I am the Baron
of Breakfast.

[ Tilly giggles ]

If you eat this
scrumptious breakfast,

you'll win
three royal points.

Ooh, OK.

Hooray!
You ate your breakfast.

I award you one,
two, three points!

Now, please, spin again.

[ giggles ] Tilly got...

green!

Then proceed
to the bathroom.

Gotta get ready for camp.

Gotta get ready for camp.

[ British accent ]
I am the Queen of the Comb.

To get two more points,

you must use this comb

to create a monstrously
beautiful style

with you fabulous fur.

There.

You look splendid,
Tilly Plink.

For combing your fur,

I grant you two more points.

You had three points,
and you just got two more.

Now you have four,
five points altogether.

Hooray! Tilly got...

yellow!

Please make your way
to the living room.

[ Tilly giggles ]

Gotta get ready for camp.

Gotta get ready for camp.

Welcome, Tilly Plink.

- We are the prince--
- And princess

...of packing.

For you next challenge,

you must pack your backpack

and put it on
for three points.

Can you do it in time?

Tilly can do it.

Gotta get ready for camp.

Gotta get ready
for camp!

Gotta get ready for camp!

Backpack ready!

- Roy: Yay!
- Esme: Hooray!

You had five points,

and you just got three more,

so now you have six, seven,
eight points altogether.

Just two more to go--

[ bus honking ]

The bus is here.

Tilly Plink,
you ate your breakfast,

combed your fur,

and grabbed your backpack.

For your last two points,

you have to...

Esme and Roy:
Get on that bus!

Tilly ready!

Tilly win!

You win.

- You win!
- Ten points!

Yay!

Thanks for playing with Tilly.

Of course.

That's what
monster-sitters do best.

Speaking of which--
My turn!

Hey. What's this?

You landed on Esme way.

That means anyone named Esme

Woo! [ giggles ]

Oh. [ giggles ]

Esme:
"A way to Play."

[ Esme humming ]

Roy:
Esme, come see
my latest invention.

Coming.

Whoa.

I call it...
"The Cereal Maker."

Ooh. How does it work?

First, you wind it up...

[ machine whirring ]

...then you open wide, and...

[ grunting ]

Uh-oh.

[ machine stops whirring ]

[ gasps ]

Guess it still needs
some fine-tuning.

[ giggles ] Until then,

here you go.

Aww, thanks, Esme.

- [ music playing ]
- [ Esme gasps ]

Eat up, big guy.

We've got a monster to watch.

Today we're

And Tilly!

Whoo-hoo!

And they're coming here!

[ doorbell rings ]

- [ Dumpling squeals ]
- [ Roy gasps ] They are here!

Bye, Grammy.

Esme and Roy: Simon.

Esme, Roy.
Hi, Dumpling.

So, are you excited

to play with Tilly today?

Yes, yes, yes, I am.

- Tilly: Bye, Daddy.
- [ bike bell rings ]

Oh, I think I hear--

- Beep, beep.
- Whoa!

Tilly!

- Tilly: Simon!
- Simon: Tilly!

- Simon!
- Tilly!

Aww. Don't you
just love monsters?

So, what do you guys
wanna do first?

[ Simon's stomach growling ]

[ Simon and Tilly giggle ]

I know what that means.

Snack time.

[ Tilly giggles ]

Goo on toast!

Tilly's favorite!

Goo on toast is
my favorite, too.

[ gasps and giggles ]

Yum!

Mmm.

[ eating loudly ]

[ eating loudly ]

[ Simon and Tilly laugh ]

So, what do you wanna do now?

Do you wanna play
Wiggly Blocks?

Wiggly Blocks!
Yay, Wiggly Blocks!

Wait-- What Wiggly Blocks?

[ giggles ]

It's my favorite game
of all time.

Ooh. Tilly wanna play.

- Esme: Great.
- Roy: Let's do it.

I'll build a tower
with the wiggly blocks.

- There.
- Ooh. Now what?

[ giggles ]

All you have to do

is pull a block
from the tower

without making it fall.

Wanna show her, Simon?

OK. [ giggles ]

This is gonna be so good.

Hmm.

Which block to pick?

Which block
to pick?

Maybe... this one.

No, no, no, no.

Maybe this one.

[ sighs ] Tilly's turn now?

Not yet. Hmm.

How about now?

Almost...

[ groaning impatiently ]

Um, I think Tilly's having
a hard time waiting.

Yes!

- Esme: Nice.
- Roy: All right, Simon.

OK. Your turn, Tilly.

Yes! Tilly pick this one.

[ grunts ]

- Whoa!
- Steady.

[ Esme and Roy sigh ]

That was a close one.

OK. My turn again.

Aw.

Hmm. Which block to pick?

Which block to pick?

Let's just take
a quick measurement.

[ groaning impatiently ]

- Hmm.
- Um, Simon,

Tilly want to play
something else.

You mean you don't
like Wiggly Blocks?

Tilly like games
that are, uh, faster.

Oh. OK.

Don't worry, guys.

There are plenty
of other things we can do.

What do you wanna play, Tilly?

Um... Tilly want to play...

Squishy Toss!

Squishy Toss?

Sounds like fun.

Are you sure, Simon?

Squishy Toss can
get a little, um--

Messy.

If Tilly wants
to play Squishy Toss,

then so do I.

Yay! Come on.

Do you guys
wanna be partners?

- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.

That means you're with me, Roy.

Whoo-hoo! [ chuckles ]

Huh? Hey...

You're not a squishy.
You're a Dumpling.

[ chuckles ]

How did you get in there?

[ Simon and Tilly giggle ]

[ Dumpling squeaks ]

OK, Simon,
Here's how you play
Squishy Toss.

You just throw the squishy

to your partner...

and they catch it.

Ta-da!

Now Simon catch.

Whoa.

Kinda jiggly.

Uh-huh.

Now we all take
a step back.

Simon's turn to throw.

OK.

[ Simon and Tilly giggle ]

Get ready, big guy.

Squishy coming your way.

Ready.

Whoa.

[ gasps ] Slime?

Squishies are filled
with slime?

[ chuckles ]

- You got me.
- [ Esme and Tilly giggle ]

Tilly:
Catch, Simon.

[ gasps ]

Aah!

Hooray! [ giggles ]

Yay! Tilly love slime.

This is not good--
Not good at all.

You OK, Simon?

Mm-hmm.

[ giggles ]

Tilly:
Again, again!

Tilly, can we
play something else?

- Squishy Toss is a little...
- Slimy?

Exactly.

Oh... Simon
doesn't like slime.

Sorry, Tilly.

That's OK.

We can think of a game

you both like.

Yeah.
Just leave it to us.

[ Tilly giggles ]

Let's see.

I know we can
find something

you both wanna play.

How about
a monster puzzle?

- Sure!
- Nah.

Mud pies?

- Yes!
- No, thank you.

Snorts and Ladders?

- Yes.
- No.

Skippy rope?

- Yes!
- No.

[ gasps ] Pickle Paddle?

Both: No.

Tilly really want
to play with Simon.

I want to play
with you, too.

Mm.

But we'll never find

something that we both like.

[ both sniffling ]

Tilly and Simon
can't play.

This is not good--
Not good at all!

Uh-oh.

Double-monster meltdown.

[ Simon and Tilly crying ]

Aww. I know
you guys are sad,

but it's gonna be OK.

I have something
that'll help.

[ Dumpling squeals ]

Uh-oh. Dumpling got
into the squishies again.

Monster fact number 475--

Monster pets love squishies.

[ Dumpling squeals ]

It looks like Dumpling's
making a painting.

Oh, yeah.

I like those
neat little dots.

Tilly like those
big messy splotches.

[ gasps ] Wait a monster-minute.

That's it.

Simon and Tilly,
you guys can paint!

That way, you can each
use your own style.

[ gasps ] Tilly love painting.

I love painting, too!

- Yay!
- Yay!
