(female narrator) It’s another beautiful day in Capital Town.

I wonder what the ABC Monsters are up to.

Shall we take a look and see?

Look. There’s S Monster skipping,

P Monster and Q Monster having a picnic,

and there’s M Monster.

I wonder what he’s doing.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

What’s going on?

(Queen Scribble) The grass is ruined.

They’ve been popping up all morning.

What are they?

I’m not sure, but I’d love to find out.

(Brian) Good morning, everyone.

We thought you might like a nice glass

of orange j--oh.

[laughs]

Enjoy your trip, Brian? [laughs]

Very funny.

Oh, no.

What is happening to Alphabet Garden?

Alice, we need to make sure that all the ABC Monsters

are all safe.

Can you check them for me?

Yes, with a little help from my friends.

(narrator) And with a wave of Cherry Berry’s jester 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

♪

One of the ABC Monsters is missing.

Can you guess which one?

K, L, N, O.

Hmm. Oh, I know.

(narrator) That’s right.

The missing letter is M.

Oh, no.

M Monster is missing.

But he was here just a few minutes ago.

We must find M Monster quickly.

Let’s look in the ABC book.

The clue says:

What’s a mechanic?

A mechanic is a very special person

that fixes cars that are broken.

Look. The ABC Book is showing us which way to go.

East.

Okay, east is this way.

Let’s go.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

arrive at Murphy’s Motor Repairs.

We should find a mechanic here.

This is a garage,

a place where people bring their broken cars.

I can’t see anyone.

Me, neither.

All I can see are cars.

(narrator) Shall we help Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

find a mechanic?

Let’s look around the garage and see if we can see him.

Well done. You found someone.

- I wonder who it is. - Hello, under there.

(narrator) Look, it’s Mick Murphy, the owner of the garage.

What you doing down there, Mick?

Oh, hello, everyone.

I’m just trying to find my lucky marbles.

I’m supposed to be meeting my friend, Molly,

for a game later.

What happened?

I was teaching M Monster how to play marbles,

then I accidentally knocked them on the floor.

M Monster was here? Where did he go?

I’ll give you a clue

if you help me find my five lucky marbles.

(narrator) Can you help find Mickey’s five missing marbles?

Well done. You found marble number one.

Brilliant. You found marble number two.

Can you see marble number three anywhere?

Well spotted.

You found marble number three.

Only two more to find.

Can you see them yet?

You’ve done it again.

You found marble number four.

Just one more to go. Can you see it?

You found marble number five.

Congratulations, you found all five marbles.

Well done.

(Cherry Berry) Here you go, Mick, all five marbles.

Thank you, everyone.

That’s it.

The answer to the clue. Marbles.

(together) Marbles. (Alice) The word fits.

I’m so pleased you found them.

Now I’ll be able to play marbles with Molly later.

We’re just happy that we could help.

Here’s a clue to find M Monster.

(narrator) So with Mick the mechanic’s new clue to solve,

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry wave goodbye.

♪

(Brian) We need to find someone short sighted

who’s wearing glasses, fast.

He’s wearing safety goggles.

They only stop things from getting in your eyes.

Nice try, Brian,

but sunglasses protect you from sunlight.

They don’t help you to see.

I can’t find anyone that is wearing glasses.

Well, not the type that help you see better.

(man) I’m sorry, your highness.

(narrator) Then, they heard a loud voice chatting to someone.

Hey, look. It’s Major Miller.

I wonder why he’s talking to the statue of King Wordy.

So it looks like I won’t be able to attend this evening.

I’m very disappointed.

(Alice) Ahem.

Who said that?

It’s me, Major Miller, Alice, King Wordy’s daughter.

Hello, Alice.

I’ve just been talking to your father.

Um, actually, that’s a statue of him, Major Miller.

Oh, dear. I’ve lost my glasses.

I’m having a terrible time seeing things.

I’m even having trouble finding my medal.

My friends and I are also on a search.

We’re looking for our friend, M Monster.

Maybe we can help you, too.

That would be splendid.

The last time I saw the medal, it was in here.

Don’t worry, Major Miller,

leave it to us.

If you can find it, I’ll give you a clue

that will lead you to your friend, M Monster.

(narrator) Can you help Alice, Brian,

and Cherry Berry find the missing medal?

The medal is located somewhere within this room,

and it looks like this.

Is it in section one, section two,

section three, or section four?

That’s right.

The medal was in section four.

Well done.

- There you go, Major Miller. - My medal.

Oh, thank you, everyone.

Medal! That’s the answer to the clue.

(together) Medal. (Alice) That’s it, Brian.

I’ve also found something else that belongs to you.

Oh, thank you.

Now I’ll be able to see things clearly again.

You know, I had a curious conversation with M Monster.

He wanted me to tell him all about moles.

- Moles? - They live underground

and make a terrible mess.

I used to have one living in my garden.

The poor thing got lost.

He thought he was at Rainbow Hill,

where all the other moles live.

Here’s a clue to help you find M Monster.

Hmm, something that can give you directions.

[laughs]

We could do with something like that.

(narrator) So Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved goodbye to Major Miller

and set off to solve the last clue.

♪

If M Monster is buying something,

he should be somewhere down this street.

This is where all the shops are.

I wonder what he could be buying.

(narrator) Keep a sharp lookout for M Monster.

Can you see him yet?

- There he is. - We found him.

(all) Hooray!

Hello, everyone.

I think I found a way to stop

those mounds in Alphabet Garden.

- What have you got there? - The answer to our problems,

thanks to my friend, Molly. She’s given me this map.

(narrator) Just then, Alice remembered something very important.

Map! The final clue in the ABC book.

M Monster is in a shop

buying something that can give you directions.

So...

- Map. (Alice) Map fits perfectly.

We solved all the puzzles.

Met new friends.

And found M Monster.

(all) Hooray!

So how is a map

going to stop those mounds from popping up?

Let’s get back to Alphabet Garden

and you’ll find out.

What is it?

(Alice) It’s a mole.

Of course, those mounds of dirt

are called molehills.

- Hello. - Hello, Mr. Mole.

I think you might be lost.

You should be here, at Rainbow Hill.

This is Alphabet Garden.

Alphabet Garden? Oh, dear.

I’m in the wrong part of town.

Here, take this map with you.

It’ll stop you from getting lost again.

Thank you very much.

I’m sorry about the mess.

(all) Hooray!

Well done, M Monster.

You saved Alphabet Garden.

It was mole trouble at all.

[laughter]

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Welcome to ABC Monsters’ Brainy g*ng.

Let’s start by saying hello

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

Together, we’ll all be learning about the letter M,

and here’s M Monster.

He’s here to help us as we find out about our new letter,

marvelous M.

Let’s all start with one of M Monster’s

favorite songs, a song that is all about the letter M.

[upbeat music]

♪

(narrator) We must find M Monster quickly.

(Alice) Let’s go.

♪

(Alice) We found him.

That’s it, Brian.

♪

(narrator) I wonder what fun things we can discover today.

Here’s M Monster beside a molehill on the ground,

and look, here comes Cherry Berry.

She’s made a letter M jump out of the molehill.

Can you say M? M.

All together, now, say it with me.

M, M. [laughs]

Look at M Monster.

He thinks that the letter M

is the best letter in the alphabet.

So can you write the letter M?

Let’s all try writing it with M Monster.

Have you got your paper and pencil ready?

Okay, then.

We’re drawing a big M.

Well done. Let’s do it again.

A big M. Good work.

You did it. M.

[laughs] Look at M Monster.

He’s excited because he can now

write his favorite letter, M.

Okay, now we know how to write the letter M.

Take a look at the following words

that begin with the letter M.

Do you know what these objects are?

They’re small, round,

and you can play a fun game with them.

Have you worked out what the objects are yet?

Shout out the answer so that we can hear you.

That’s right.

They’re called marbles.

Marbles.

Marbles. Marbles.

Marbles.

That was fun, wasn’t it?

Let’s do another one.

Do you know what this shiny object is?

You get one for doing something very brave.

That’s right. It’s a medal.

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

Medal.

Medal.

Fantastic. Let’s do it again.

Medal.

Medal.

You’ve answered two of the questions correctly.

Can you get the last one right as well?

This is a hard one,

but I’m sure you can work out what this is.

Here’s a clue.

It’s another name for a drawn plan of Capital Town.

That’s right, it’s a map.

and here is what the word map looks like.

Say it with me.

Map.

Map. That’s right.

Let’s say it together one more time.

Map.

Map. Wonderful.

We’ve all learned three brilliant new words today.

It’s time to get active.

Are you feeling fit and lively?

Yes? Well, let’s do an ABC Monster move.

[upbeat music]

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 in beat]

That was fun, wasn’t it?

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

and today, we’ll be doing the M Monster exercise.

Watch Brian carefully as he shows you what to do.

It’s easy.

If Brian can do it, so can you.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

Use your body to make a big M. That’s it.

Easy, wasn’t it?

Ready to do it again? A big M.

Fantastic. Now you know the move.

We can all do it together. Ready?

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four.

And three, two, three, four.

Four, two, three, four.

Wasn’t that easy?

I bet you can do that again.

Are you ready? Okay, then.

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four.

And three, two, three, four.

Four, two, three, four.

Wow, you do the M Monster move really well.

Let’s take a short rest to get your breath back.

You’ll need to be ready for your next challenge,

the ABC Monster quest.

Hello, Mr. Mole. What are you doing here?

Hello, everyone. I’m lost, and I need to find

my family and friends at Rainbow Hill.

Don’t worry, Mr. Mole. We’ll help you get there.

Can you help Mr. Mole return to Rainbow Hill?

Just fill in the box with the correct letter

to help guide him home.

Listen carefully.

Can you tell me which is the correct letter

to go into the box?

Could it be N,

L,

or is it F?

That’s right.

The correct letter is L.

Marbles.

Marbles.

You’ve answered the first question correctly.

Now take a look at puzzle number two.

Can you tell me which letter

we should put into the box?

Is it B?

Could it be I?

Or is it M?

Correct again.

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

Medal.

Medal. Well done.

Are you ready to complete the final puzzle?

Which letter should be put into the box?

Is it T?

Or letter C?

Maybe it’s letter P.

Wonderful work.

You’ve picked the correct letter to the final puzzle, P.

Map.

Map.

Congratulations.

You helped Mr. Mole find his friends and family

at Rainbow Hill. All thanks to you.

- Thank you, everyone. - allHooray!
