(female narrator) Hello, everyone,

and welcome to Capital Town.

And you’re just in time.

Everyone in Capital Castle is preparing for a big party.

Let’s take a look and see.

There’s D Monster and J Monster.

They’re going to be the DJs at the party tonight.

A DJ plays records so that people can dance to the music,

like this.

And here’s B Monster practicing his dance moves.

He knows how to boogie.

[upbeat music]

♪

Here comes P Monster to deliver the post

that the postman left at the castle.

S Monster and Z Monster

have received their pass to today’s party.

Now everyone has a purple party pass.

Oh, dear.

Everyone got a purple party pass except poor P Monster.

Does everyone have their purple party passes?

Wonderful.

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

are going to check that everyone is here,

and then we can start the party.

Okay, then. Let’s check that everyone’s here.

(narrator) So with a wave of Cherry Berry’s jester stick,

all of the ABC Monsters line up in alphabetical order.

Let’s sing along to the ABC Song.

[cheerful music]

(narrator) One of the ABC Monsters is missing,

but can you guess which one?

(Alice) M, N, O, Q.

Hm. That sounds weird.

Oh, I know.

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

Oh, no.

P Monster has vanished.

Let’s see if the ABC Book knows where we can find him.

(Cherry Berry) The clue says:

The ABC Book is telling us to go southeast.

The woods are southeast.

Maybe that is where Polly Parrot lives.

Let’s go.

(narrator) So Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

took the old dirt trail through the woods.

I wonder why P Monster went missing.

Yes, it is a bit strange.

He was looking forward to the big party.

Look at that.

Ah!

The bush is alive.

(narrator) That was a surprise, wasn’t it?

It’s Polly Parrot.

[birds chirping]

- Hello, Polly. - Hello, Cherry Berry.

I didn’t expect to see you and your friends in the woods today.

We’re looking for our friend.

It’s P Monster.

He’s missing.

Oh, I saw him an hour ago.

He helped me put my piano in my cart.

Now I can wheel it to Capital Castle to play at the party.

So what were you doing in the bush, Polly?

I’m looking for some paper.

A gust of wind blew it off my cart.

It’s very important paper

because it has my music written on it,

and I won’t be able to play the piano

at the Capital Castle party without it.

Don’t worry, Polly.

We’ll all help you find your paper sheet.

(narrator) Look very carefully and see if you can help Alice,

Brian, and Cherry Berry find Polly Parrot’s paper sheets.

Well-spotted.

You’ve found Polly’s missing paper sheets.

Thank you all so much.

There should be seven sheets of paper.

I’ll just count them to make sure that they’re all here.

(narrator) Let’s see how good you are at counting, shall we?

Are you ready?

Here we go.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Excellent.

That was fantastic counting.

Great. All my music is here.

I’m very relieved that I have the correct amount of paper.

Paper! That’s the answer to the clue.

(Cherry Berry) The ABC Book said:

Paper.

Paper.

Hooray!

We solved the first puzzle.

I have another clue that will help

you get even closer to finding P Monster.

I hope you find P Monster soon.

I’m sure he wouldn’t want to miss a party.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved goodbye to Polly Parrot and continued on their journey.

[cows mooing]

[playful music]

Where are we?

According to the ABC Book,

we’re getting nearer to Penny Penguin.

[sniffing] Mmm.

What is it, Brian?

That smells yummy.

You’re always hungry.

(narrator) But Brian was already following his nose.

Hey, wait for us.

(narrator) Look, everybody.

It’s Penny Penguin.

I knew I could smell food.

Wow. You’ve also found Penny Penguin.

Well done.

Hello, Brian.

I bet you’re hungry.

Why are you making pancakes, Penny?

For the Capital Castle party.

I was going to put something special on them,

but I can’t now.

Oh, dear. Why not?

P Monster gave me a jar of my favorite plum jam

a little while ago, but now I can’t find it.

We’re looking for P Monster.

We’ll find your plum jam if you can help us in our quest.

Okay. That sounds great.

(narrator) Can you spot Penny Penguin’s jar of plum jam?

Look closely and shout out if you see it.

Is it on the stove?

No.

Is it inside the tree?

No. Hey, look.

Could the jar of plum jam be next to the fluffy rabbit?

Well done. You found it.

Penny Penguin’s jar of plum jam was next to the rabbit.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

I’ve been looking for that everywhere.

Now I’ll be able to spread my favorite flavored jam

on my pancakes, plum.

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

Plum.

Plum.

Thank you all for helping me.

Here’s a special clue to find P Monster.

I better get my pancakes

to Capital Castle before the party starts.

Good luck finding P Monster.

Thanks for the clue, Penny.

(narrator) So Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved goodbye to Penny Penguin and continued on their way.

[playful music]

♪

We’ve made it to town.

This is the best place to find a postman.

Well, there’s certainly plenty of letterboxes

for him to post things through.

If we can find the postman,

we might be able to find P Monster.

(narrator) That’s when Alice spotted someone very familiar.

- Look over there. - It’s P Monster.

(Alice) But what is he doing? Let’s find out.

P Monster, we’ve been looking all over for you.

What are you doing here?

The party starts soon and you’re gonna miss it.

Hello, everyone.

- I had to find the postman. - Why?

My purple party pass didn’t show up today

and I need it to get into the party.

The postman said it might’ve fallen

through the bottom of his bag.

So you’re helping him empty it by delivering the mail?

That’s right. With two of us posting letters

the mail will be done much quicker.

We’ll help too.

- Then it’ll get done quicker. - Great.

We’ve only got this street left to do,

and only eight more houses.

(narrator) Let’s count the letters that P Monster

and his friends delivered.

Are you ready?

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

And here comes P Monster with the last one.

Eight. Well done, everyone.

Thanks to you all, we managed to post the mail today

in record time.

(all) Hooray!

Hold on. We’ve forgotten to deliver this last letter.

Who is it addressed to?

It’s addressed to a Mr. P Monster.

Alphabet Garden, Capital Castle, Capital Town.

It says, "King Wordy and Queen Scribble

"invite their good friend, P Monster,

to a very special party in Alphabet Garden."

Hooray!

I’ll be able to go to the party now that I have my pass.

Pass! Of course.

That’s what the final clue meant.

The item was his pass.

Pass.

We solved all the puzzles.

Met new friends.

And found P Monster.

(all) Hooray!

(narrator) Back at Alphabet Garden, the party was in full-swing.

Everyone was having a wonderful time.

But do you know who had the best time of all?

That’s right.

P Monster.

I love a good party.

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Welcome to another edition of ABC Monsters Brainy g*ng.

So let’s all say a big Brainy g*ng hello

to our friends Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

Today, we’re going to find out about the letter P.

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 P Monster.

P Monster enjoys a sing-song,

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

Are you ready?

[upbeat music]

♪

(narrator) I’m sure he wouldn’t want to miss a party.

Wonderful.

It’s P Monster, and he’s holding his purple party pass.

And look.

Here comes Cherry Berry.

Do you know what letter the purple party pass

has turned into?

Have you worked it out yet?

That’s right.

It’s the letter P.

P. Altogether now.

Say it with me.

P.

Look at P Monster.

He’s trying to take the letter P to the party.

Silly P Monster.

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

Have you got your paper and pencil?

Okay, then. We’re drawing a big P.

That’s a wonderful letter P.

Let’s see if you can do that again.

A big P.

Brilliant work.

A perfect letter P.

P Monster’s very happy because he can now write

his favorite letter, P.

Now we all know how to write the letter P.

Take a look at the following words that begin with P.

Do you know what this object is called?

Here’s a clue.

It’s white.

You can write and draw on it, fold and tear it,

and it’s made from trees.

Think carefully and shout out the answer if you know.

That’s right.

It’s paper.

Paper.

Paper. That’s right.

Let’s say it one more time.

Paper.

Paper.

You’re doing really well so far,

so here’s puzzle number two for you.

Can you guess what this strange looking fruit is called?

It grows on a tree.

It’s dark purple in color.

It’s soft and sweet to eat

and has a large seed in its center.

Have you worked out what it’s called?

That’s right. It’s called a plum.

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

Plum.

Plum.

Well done. Let’s say that again.

Plum.

Plum.

You’ve got the first two questions right.

Now see if you can complete this final puzzle.

Are you ready?

Here it is.

Do you know what this object is?

Here’s a clue.

P Monster needed this special object

to get into the party.

Have you worked out the answer yet?

That’s right.

It’s P Monster’s special pass.

And here’s what the word pass looks like.

Say it with me.

Pass.

Pass.

That’s right.

Let’s say it together one more time.

Pass.

Pass. Excellent.

You’ve solved all three puzzles.

Can you think of any more words that begin with the letter P?

Members of the Brainy g*ng like to keep fit and active,

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

[upbeat music]

Hello, everyone.

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

[clapping to beat]

That’s great.

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

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

Watch Brian very closely 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 P.

That’s it.

That wasn’t so hard, was it?

Shall we try that again?

A big P.

That’s it. Now you know the P 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 brilliant.

Let’s do it again.

Are you ready?

One, two, three, four.

Two, two. three, four.

And three, two, three, four.

Four, two, three, four.

Fantastic.

You’ve just completed the P 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 Penny Penguin.

Hello, Penny.

Where are you going?

Hello, everyone.

I’m taking these tasty plum jam pancakes

to the Capital Castle party,

but I’m lost.

Don’t worry, Penny.

We’ll guide you to the party.

(narrator) Can you help Penny Penguin find her way

to the Capital Castle party?

Just fill in the box with the correct letter

and help guide her along the path.

Can you tell me which one fits correctly in the box

to make a word?

Is it A, J,

or the letter X?

That’s right. The correct letter is A.

Paper.

Paper.

You solved the first one correctly,

but can you work out this next puzzle?

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

Is it B, Y,

or U?

Well done.

You’re right again.

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

Plum.

Plum. Well done.

Now it’s time for the final puzzle.

Do you think you can complete it?

Which letter should we put into the box?

Is it E, S,

or could it be the letter O?

Excellent answer.

You’ve picked the correct letter again.

The letter S.

Well done. Three out of three.

Pass.

Pass.

Wonderful.

You’ve cleverly guided Penny Penguin

to the Capital Castle party.

Thank you, everyone.

(all) Hooray!

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

I hope you enjoyed finding out

about our featured letter, the letter P.

But before we go, let’s sing along to the ABC Song

as we say goodbye to Alice, Brian, Cherry Berry,
