[applause]

(female narrator) Welcome to a very cold day in Capital Town.

♪

It’s so icy that P.C. Puckins

is slipping and sliding along the road.

Let’s see if the ABC Monsters have wrapped up warm

in Capital Castle.

♪

Here’s poor I Monster.

But don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll get warm soon.

There’s E Monster, Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

They’re very clever.

They’re exercising to keep nice and warm.

Look, it’s King Wordy and Queen Scribble.

They have an important announcement to make.

I have a very important announcement.

The weather forecast says

it’s going to get even colder later today,

so I want to make sure that all the ABC Monsters

are wrapped up warm.

Cherry Berry is going to assemble all the ABC Monsters

so that Alice can check that they are all here

and wrapped up warm.

I just love assembling the ABC Monsters.

(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.

♪

(all) ♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G

♪ H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P ♪

♪ W, X, Y, and Z

(narrator) One of the ABC Monsters is missing.

Can you guess which one?

(Cherry Berry) G, H, J, K...

This is hard.

Oh, I know!

(narrator) That’s right!

The missing letter is I.

It’s I Monster that’s missing.

I wonder where he went.

We have to find him.

Let’s see if the ABC book can help.

Good idea, Brian.

(Alice) The clue says:

Hey! The ABC book is telling us to go east.

East is over that way.

Let’s find I Monster.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

had not been walking for long when Alice said:

Ivy is a friend of mine.

I know exactly where she lives.

Ivy lives over there.

Great!

Let’s go knock on her door

and see if she’s in.

(narrator) Alice knocked on the door,

but there was no answer.

Maybe Ivy’s not in today.

(narrator) Then suddenly, Alice heard a voice.

(Ivy) Hello, Alice.

It’s Ivy, but where is she?

(Ivy) Here I am.

What can I do for you all?

We’ve lost our friend I Monster, and we were hoping

that you might be able to help us.

I’ve got a clue for your quest, but I’ll need your help first.

What would you like us to do?

My pet iguana, Iggy, is somewhere in the garden.

Iguanas are lizards.

They don’t like the chilly weather,

so I need to get him back inside my warm house

before he catches a cold.

Don’t worry, Ivy.

We’ll find Iggy for you.

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

find Ivy’s pet iguana?

Look carefully.

Can you see him?

Is he under the bush, in the wheelbarrow,

next to the watering can, or in the pond?

That’s right!

Ivy’s pet iguana is in the wheelbarrow.

♪

Thank you so much.

You found my pet iguana.

Iguana!

That’s it, the answer to the first clue.

He’s an iguana!

(all) I-g-u-a-n-a.

Iguana!

I better take my iguana into the house

so he can warm up,

but first, I’ll give you another clue.

I hope you find I Monster soon, Alice.

Good luck!

Thank you for all your help, Ivy.

(narrator) And so Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved good-bye to Ivy and her pet iguana

and continued on their journey.

Hmm, I wonder where Ivan the inventor is.

He’s probably inventing something amazing.

(narrator) Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

Look over there!

♪

Quick! Let’s investigate.

♪

(narrator) Look, everyone.

It’s Ivan the inventor!

Hello, Ivan.

What happened?

Hello, Alice.

You’re just in time.

I’ve built my greatest ever invention.

It’s called the Purple Whizbang Wobbler.

Uh, what does it do?

It draws pictures of the things you want to find.

Really?

Can it draw a picture for us?

Yes, but we need some red ink to make it work.

There is a bottle of red ink over there.

Can you find it for me?

No problem!

Leave it to us.

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

find the bottle of red ink?

Look carefully.

That’s right!

You found the red ink!

Aha!

This is exactly what we need.

♪

Okay, everyone.

Think of something you want to find.

Concentrate very hard.

♪

(narrator) Suddenly, the Whizbang Wobbler sprung to life.

♪

The Whizbang Wobbler drew a picture of the monster

we’re trying to find.

It’s I Monster.

The machine is working perfectly

now that we’ve added the red ink.

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

He needed red ink.

(all) I-n-k.

Ink!

We’re another step closer to finding I Monster.

If you’re looking for I Monster,

here’s a clue that will lead you to him.

I hope the clue helps you find I Monster soon.

Thank you, Ivan.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved good-bye to Ivan the inventor

and headed off to search for I Monster.

♪

Slow down, Brian!

Where are we going?

We’re going to the one place in Capital Town

that sells heaters, Ian’s Electrical Shop.

Good idea, Brian.

That must be where I Monster is.

Exactly!

It’s not far.

Follow me.

We’re here!

Wow, this store sells all sorts of electrical products.

Look at all the useful things in the window.

But where’s I Monster?

(narrator) Then suddenly...

Look who it is!

It’s I Monster!

[laughing]

Hello, I Monster!

Yo, hello, everyone!

What are you carrying under your arm?

It’s a heater, man.

It’s so cold and icy today,

I thought I’d get a heater from Ian’s Electric Shop

to melt the ice in Alphabet Garden, dude.

Wow!

That’s a clever idea.

I’d rather be nice and warm, man.

I don’t like cold weather,

especially when everything is covered in ice.

Ice! That’s the answer to the final clue.

Frozen water is called ice!

(all) I-c-e.

Ice!

(Cherry Berry) Ice is the answer to the final clue.

We solved all the puzzles...

Met new friends...

And found I Monster.

(all) Hooray!

♪

(narrator) I Monster’s heater was such a good idea

that not only did it melt the ice in Alphabet Garden,

but it also kept everyone snug and warm.

My heater has really hit the spot

now that Alphabet Garden is lovely and hot.

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Welcome to another addition

of ABC Monsters’ Brainy g*ng.

Say a big Brainy g*ng hello

to our friends Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

Today, we’re going to find out

about an incredible letter of the alphabet,

the letter I.

But first, we’ll need the help of a special member

of the Brainy g*ng.

Can you guess who it might be?

That’s right!

It’s I Monster.

Hello, I Monster.

I Monster enjoys singing,

so we’re all going to sing along to his favorite song.

Are you ready?

♪

♪

(narrator) Look what I Monster has found.

It’s a huge block of ice.

Here comes Cherry Berry.

Do you know what letter the ice has become?

Have you worked it out yet?

That’s right!

It’s the letter I.

I!

All together now, say it with me.

I!

[laughs] Look at I Monster.

He’s not feeling cold anymore with his new letter I.

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

Have you got your paper and pencil?

Okay, then,

we’re drawing a big I.

Brilliant!

That’s a great-looking letter I.

Let’s try that again.

A big I!

Wonderful work!

Another beautiful letter I.

[laughs]

I Monster is very happy, because he can now write

his favorite letter, I.

Now we all know how to write the letter I,

take a look at the following words

that begin with incredible I.

Do you know what this animal is called?

Here is a clue.

He comes from South America and is a breed of lizard.

He’s also green and covered in scales.

Shout out the answer if you know.

That’s right!

He’s an iguana.

Iguana.

I-g-u-a-n-a.

Iguana!

That’s right!

Let’s say it one more time.

Iguana.

I-g-u-a-n-a.

Iguana.

Okay, here’s puzzle number two for you to solve.

Can you guess what this useful liquid is called?

You put it in your pen so that you can write.

Have you worked out what it’s called?

That’s right!

It’s called ink!

Now let’s see what the word ink looks like.

Ink.

I-n-k.

Ink.

Well done.

Let’s say that again.

Ink.

I-n-k.

Ink.

You’ve answered the first two questions correctly.

Get the next puzzle right,

and you will have completed the section.

Are you ready for the next clue?

Here it is.

Our final puzzle is a little tricky,

but I’m sure you’ll be able to work it out.

Do you know what this material is called?

Here’s a clue.

Water turns into this material when it gets very, very cold.

Have you worked out the answer yet?

That’s right!

It’s ice.

And here’s what the word ice looks like.

Say it with me.

Ice.

I-c-e.

Ice.

That’s right.

Let’s say it together one more time.

Ice.

I-c-e.

Ice.

Excellent!

You solved all three puzzles.

Can you think of any more incredible words

that begin with the letter I?

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

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

Hi, kids.

Are you ready to get fit?

Let’s see you standing up.

Clap your hands in the air if you want to have some fun.

♪

That’s great!

It’s time to get fit with the ABC Monsters,

and today we’ll be doing the I Monster exercise.

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 I.

That’s it!

That wasn’t so hard, was it?

Shall we try that again?

A big I!

That’s it!

Now you know the I 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 just completed the I Monster move.

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

because next, it’s the ABC Monster Quest.

Look, everybody!

It’s Ivan the inventor.

Hello, Ivan.

What are you doing here?

Hello, everyone.

I’m looking for some red ink

to get my Whizbang Wobbler drawing machine working.

Don’t worry, Ivan.

We’ll help you find your red ink.

(narrator) Can you help Ivan the inventor

find his bottle of red ink?

Just fill in the box with the correct letter,

and help guide him along the path.

Look carefully at the following letters.

Can you tell me which one fits correctly

in the box to make a word?

Is it P, U, or the letter V?

That’s right!

The correct letter is U.

Iguana.

I-g-u-a-n-a.

Iguana.

You solved the first word correctly,

but can you work out this next puzzle?

Take your time.

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

Letter, C, B, or O?

You’re right again.

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

Ice.

I-c-e.

Ice.

Well done!

Now for the final puzzle.

Do you think you can complete it?

The letter K.

Well done!

Three out of three.

Ink.
