(female narrator) Hello, everyone,

and welcome to another beautiful day in Capital Town.

Hmm, the sign says that there’s a jamboree

at Capital Castle.

Let’s take a look and see.

Wow, look at P Monster.

He’s very talented.

He’s spinning plates.

Uh-oh, I hope they weren’t

Queen Scribble’s favorite plates.

I wonder what King Wordy and M Monster are up to.

Abracadabra.

(narrator) They’re performing a trick.

[laughs]

[laughs]

(narrator) Hey, look, it’s Cherry Berry and J Monster, juggling.

They’re very good, aren’t they?

Will you be juggling

for the Jester Jamboree, Cherry Berry?

I wanted to do an act that nobody had ever seen before,

but I can’t think of anything,

so I don’t think I’ll be taking part this year.

But you’ve got to.

You always enter the Jester Jamboree.

It’s tradition.

We’ll try and help you think of an act, Cherry Berry.

Thanks, but I don’t think there’s enough time.

Is there, J Monster?

Uh-oh.

Now, where did she disappear to?

We’d better assemble the ABC Monsters

and check that they are all here.

(narrator) And 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

and help Alice find the missing letter.

(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) Look carefully.

One of the ABC Monsters is missing.

Can you guess which one it is?

(Alice) H, I, K, L.

Hmm, this is a hard one.

Oh, I know.

(narrator) That’s right. The missing letter is J.

So it is J Monster that has disappeared.

Oh, no. What will we do now?

Let’s look in the ABC Book and see if it can help.

The clue says:

(Alice) Mmm, I like desserts.

Look, the ABC book is telling us to go west.

Come on, everyone. Let’s go.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

had been walking for quite some time

when Alice suddenly said...

My legs are tired.

Mine, too.

We’ve been walking for ages.

Don’t give up just yet.

I’m sure we’re nearly there.

Hey, who’s that over by the hedge?

(Alice) It’s Jenny Shaker the jelly maker.

I wonder what she’s doing.

- Hello, Jenny. - Hello, Alice.

What are you three doing here?

We’re looking for J Monster.

- Have you seen her? - Yes, she was helping me

pick some of these juicy raspberries,

but she’s gone now.

Ooh, are you making raspberry jelly?

That’s right, Brian.

I’m making a giant raspberry jelly

for the Jester Jamboree.

Mmm, sounds delicious.

Unfortunately, I’ve lost three jugs

that contain my special jelly mixture.

Can you help me find them?

Yes. We’d love to help.

I think they’re in the kitchen.

Don’t worry, Jenny.

We’ll find them for you.

Ooh, look at all that jelly.

I’m sure my jugs are hidden away in here somewhere.

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

find Jenny’s special jugs of jelly mixture?

Can you see them yet?

Well done. You found all of Jenny’s jugs.

Shall we count them?

Ready?

Count with me.

One, two, three.

Thank you for finding my jugs of jelly mixture.

Now I’ll be able to make my giant jelly

for the Jester’s Jamboree.

Jelly! That’s it.

Jelly is the answer to the ABC book’s clue.

Jelly.

Jelly.

- We solved the first puzzle. - Excellent.

But can you work out what the second puzzle might be?

Good luck solving your new clue.

I hope you find J Monster soon.

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

waved goodbye to Jenny Shaker, the jelly maker,

and continued on their journey.

I’m sure Jack Jackdaw lives here

in the park somewhere.

(narrator) Can you see Jack Jackdaw?

That’s right. He’s sitting on Brian’s head.

I wonder where he can be.

[laughs] There he is, Brian.

[laughs] And you can’t see him.

Are you looking for me?

Yes, we thought that you might know

where we can find J Monster.

- Yes, have you seen her? - I have.

I spoke to her earlier.

I’ll give you a clue if you can help me with a puzzle.

- We love puzzles. - Great.

I need to find my shiny, green jewel.

Can you help me find it?

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

find Jack Jackdaw’s shiny, green jewel?

The jewel is located somewhere within the park,

and it looks like this.

Is it in section one,

section two,

or section three?

Look very carefully. Can you see it?

That’s right. The jewel was in section one.

Well done.

There you go, Jack.

I’m so happy that you found my shiny, green jewel.

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

It must be a jewel.

Jewel.

Because you were are all so clever,

I will give you another clue to solve.

I’m sure you’ll have that little puzzle solved in no time.

(narrator) So Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved goodbye to Jack Jackdaw

and set off to track down J Monster.

Slow down, Brian.

We’re struggling to keep up.

I think I know where to find J Monster.

Really? Where?

The funniest place in Capital Town, of course.

- And where’s that? - The joke shop.

Come on, you two. Not much further to go.

♪

This is the funniest place in Capital Town?

Doesn’t look very funny to me.

Not on the outside,

but inside it’s completely different.

I can’t see J Monster. Can you?

No, I don’t think she’s here.

Wait a minute. Who’s that?

(narrator) Can you guess who that is?

She is just very silly, isn’t she?

That’s right. It’s J Monster.

(Alice) We found her.

(narrator) Quick as a flash, Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

entered the shop to see their friend.

[laughs] Hello, J Monster.

Hello, everyone.

[both laugh]

Why are you wearing that silly outfit?

I thought Cherry Berry and I could dress up

in silly outfits and do an act together

- for the Jester Jamboree. - That’s a fantastic idea.

I’ve also picked up a great, new joke from Mr. Jones,

the joke shop owner.

You can tell it to the audience as we finish the act.

[laughs] That’s a funny joke.

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

She got a joke.

Joke.

Joke is the answer to the final clue.

We solved all the puzzles.

Met new friends.

And found J Monster.

(all) Hooray!

♪

(narrator) Later that day, Alice and Brian

watched a brilliant act performed by

Cherry Berry and J Monster,

and because J Monster found such a brilliant joke,

Cherry Berry said she should tell it.

- Knock, knock. - Who’s there?

- Boo. - Boo who?

Don’t cry. It’s only a joke.

[laughter]

[applause]

(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 J.

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

of the Brainy g*ng, J Monster.

Hello, J Monster.

J Monster enjoys singing,

so we’re all going to sing her favorite song.

Are you ready?

[upbeat music]

♪

We love puzzles.

(narrator) She is just very silly, isn’t she?

That’s right.

It’s Cherry Berry and J Monster.

[applause]

(narrator) Here’s J Monster with a big, wobbley jelly.

And, look, here comes Cherry Berry.

Can you work out what letter the jelly has turned into?

That’s right. It’s the letter J.

J. All together, now.

Say it with me. J.

Look at J Monster.

She thinks the letter J

will be as yummy as the jelly.

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

Have you got your paper and pencil?

Okay, then.

We’re drawing a big J.

Well done. That’s looking really good.

Let’s try and do another big J.

Excellent.

A beautiful letter J.

J Monster’s very happy

because she can now write her favorite letter, J.

Now we all know how to write the letter J.

Take a look at the following words

that begin with J.

Do you know what this food is called?

Here’s a clue.

It’s wibbley, and it’s wobbley,

and you can eat it for dessert.

Shout out the answer if you know.

That’s right. It’s jelly.

Jelly.

Jelly.

That’s right. Let’s say it one more time.

Jelly.

Jelly.

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

Can you guess what this object is called?

It is very shiny and very expensive.

Have you worked it out yet?

That’s right. It’s called a jewel.

Now, let’s see what the word jewel looks like.

Jewel.

\Jewel.

Well done. Let’s say that again.

Jewel.

Jewel.

Our final puzzle is a hard one,

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

Do you know what this sheet of paper contains?

Here’s a clue.

There is something very funny written on the paper.

Something so funny that if you read it to your friends,

you’ll make them laugh.

Have you worked out the answer yet?

That’s right. It’s a joke.

And here’s what the word joke looks like.

Say it with me.

Joke.

Joke.

That’s right. Let’s say it together once more.

Joke.

Joke.

Can you think of any more outstanding words

that begin with the letter J?

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

so get ready for another

fun-packed ABC Monster move.

Hello, everyone.

Do you want to have some fun?

Stand on your feet if you want to have some fun.

Okay, then.

Clap your hands in the air, like this.

[clapping to beat]

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

and today, we’ll be doing the J 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 J.

That’s it.

That wasn’t so hard, was it?

Shall we try that again?

A big J.

That’s it.

Now you know the J 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 easy, wasn’t it?

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 successfully completed the J 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 Jack Jackdaw.

Hello, Jack. What are you doing here?

Hello, everyone.

I’m looking for my shiny, green jewel.

But I don’t know where it is.

Don’t worry, Jack.

We’ll help you find it.

Can you help Jack Jackdaw find his shiny, green jewel?

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 A,

E,

or the letter P?

That’s right. The correct letter is E.

Jelly.

Jelly.

You solved the first word correctly,

but can you work out this next puzzle?

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

Is it the letter B,

K,

or S?

Right again.

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

Joke.

Joke.

Well done.

Now for the final puzzle.

Do you think you can complete it?

Which letter should be put into the box?

Is it L,

I,

or could it be the letter K?

Excellent answer.

You successfully picked the correct letter again.

The letter L.

Well done, three out of three.

Jewel.

Jewel.

Brilliant, you’ve cleverly guided Jack Jackdaw

to his shiny, green jewel.

- Thank you, everyone. (all) Hooray.

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

I hope you enjoyed finding out

about the letter of the day, J.
