(female narrator) Hello, everyone.

It’s very early in the morning here in Capital Town.

I wonder if anyone is awake in Capital Castle.

Good morning!

It’s King Wordy and K Monster!

Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!

(narrator) And here’s Princess Alice and Cherry Berry.

Good morning, everyone.

What ya doing?

K Monster is helping me to make Queen Scribble

a special surprise breakfast, but it’s not going very well.

Have you remembered the kiwi fruit?

Mom just loves it with her breakfast.

That’s the problem! I think we’ve run out!

[ticking] - Oh, dear, oh, dear.

It’s half past already,

and I haven’t even checked to see

if the rest of the ABC Monsters are up this morning.

Don’t worry, Dad.

You keep looking for the kiwi fruit,

and K Monster, Cherry Berry, and I

will take care of the ABC Monsters.

[yawning]

(narrator) Meanwhile, in Alphabet Garden,

the ABC Monsters were waking up.

Wow, all the ABC Monsters seem to be up this morning.

(narrator) And someone else was up early this morning too.

It’s Brian, Alice and Cherry Berry’s friend.

Hello, Brian. You’re just in time.

Yes, we’re about to check

that all the ABC Monsters are 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) One of the ABC Monsters is missing!

Can you guess which one?

I, J...

L, M.

Hmm.

Oh, I know!

(narrator) That’s right!

The missing letter is K!

[gasps] K Monster is missing!

K Monster needed some kiwi fruit

for the special surprise breakfast for Queen Scribble.

It’s up to us to find K Monster!

Let’s see if the ABC book can help.

The clue says...

Look, the ABC book is telling us to go northwest

towards the park.

So what are we waiting for?

Let’s go to Capital Park!

Remember, we’re looking for something you can fly

while standing on the floor.

Balloons are spelled with a B, not a K!

That’s not flying. That’s swinging.

[ducks quacking]

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

had looked all over the park

but hadn’t seen anything

that could solve the ABC book’s puzzle.

This really is a hard clue to solve.

Maybe if we wait here for a while,

the clue might come to us.

Look over there!

(narrator) Can you see something that you can fly

while standing on the ground?

Well done! You found it.

(Cherry Berry) It’s Kerry the Kangaroo!

She’s flying a kite!

Kite--that’s it!

Kite!

(all) K-i-t-e.

Kite.

It fits!

Hello, Kerry.

We’re looking for our friend K Monster.

Have you seen him?

Hi, Alice. Yes, I’ve seen him.

He helped me fly my kite earlier.

Then he had to go-- Whoa!

(narrator) Suddenly, Kerry lost control of her kite.

Oh, dear! I hope your kite is okay.

Don’t worry, Alice.

I’ll soon have it flying again.

Would you and your friends

like to help me fly my kite?

Yes, please!

[cheerful music]

♪

[crash] (kids) Uh-oh!

Oh, no, my kite is stuck in the tree!

I’ll never be able to get it down now!

But which one is your kite, Kerry?

Hmm...I’m not sure. They all look alike.

Here. I have a picture.

If you can help me get my kite back,

I’ll give you a clue

to help you find K Monster!

(narrator) Can you help find Kerry the Kangaroo’s kite?

Is it kite , kite ,

kite , or kite ?

Have you worked it out yet?

(Cherry Berry) It’s number ,

the red and white kite.

(narrator) That’s right!

Oh, thank you!

I’ll have to be more careful

when I fly my kite again.

Here’s the clue I promised you.

Good luck!

I’m sure you’ll find K Monster very soon.

(narrator) It’s not long before Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

meet someone else that needs their help.

Look, it’s Karen Kent!

Her ba*ls of wool are escaping from her shop.

Thank you, everyone.

Please come in.

What happened?

Oh, I accidently knocked over

a pile of knitting wool bowls

whilst trying to find my kittens.

It’s time for their breakfast,

but they seem to be playing hide-and-seek,

and I can’t see them anywhere!

Oh, dear!

We’ll help you find your kittens.

If you can find them,

maybe I can help you with something in return.

(narrator) There are three kittens hiding in the shop.

Can you find them?

That’s right! There’s a kitten on the shelf.

Well done! You found the second kitten.

Just one more to find.

Can you see him?

Congratulations!

You found the third and last kitten.

[kittens meowing]

Oh, thank you very much.

Now each kitten can have its breakfast.

Kitten! That’s it!

The answer to the clue!

(all) K-i-t-t-e-n.

Kitten.

I’m so grateful to you all.

Is there anything I can do for you?

We’re looking for our friend K Monster.

He’s gone missing. Have you seen him?

Well, I might be able to help you

with another clue.

Hey, I know where the market is.

Great! Let’s find K Monster.

(narrator) So Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

hurried off to track down K Monster.

Can you see K Monster yet?

That’s right.

He’s helping Kenny Kennedy

run his knickknack stall.

We found him at last!

(all) Hooray!

Hello, everyone.

What are you three doing here?

We’ve been looking for you!

Oh. I’m just helping my friend Kenny

sell some knickknacks in his market stall.

Yes.

K Monster’s been a great help this morning.

We’ve sold lots of stuff,

so as a reward, you can have these.

(K Monster) Wow! A whole box of kiwi fruit.

Thank you, Kenny.

I know someone

who’ll be real glad to see these.

(narrator) Just then, Cherry Berry remembered something

very important.

The final clue in the ABC book--

"Look for the market, and you’ll find K Monster

earning some of these."

Kiwi is the answer to the last clue, so...

(all) K-i-w-i.

Kiwi.

Kiwi fits perfectly!

We solved all the puzzles...

Met new friends...

And found K Monster!

(all) Hooray!

Now let’s return K Monster to Alphabet Garden.

(narrator) So as the morning sun rose high into the sky,

it soon became clear that K Monster

not only returned with enough kiwi fruit

for Queen Scribble’s breakfast...

but had plenty left over for every ABC Monster as well,

all thanks to K Monster.

Mmm! Kiwi fruit!

Yum, yum!

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Welcome to another ABC Monsters’ Brainy g*ng.

And here they are:

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

Are you in the Brainy g*ng yet?

Well, I hope you’re all feeling brainy today,

because together we’ll be finding out

about the letter K.

And to help us, meet our friend K Monster.

And K is a wonderfully fun letter of the alphabet

that can be used for all sorts of things.

But first, let’s get started

with a special song all about the letter K.

Are you ready?

[upbeat tune]

♪

Hello, everyone!

Look at K Monster!

K Monster’s missing!

Kiwi!

- Well done! (all) Hooray!

[crowd cheers]

♪

Big K!

(all) Hooray!

(all) Hooray!

(narrator) Let’s see what fun things we can learn today.

Look, here’s Cherry Berry.

Look, everyone.

The picture has changed into a letter K!

K. All together now.

Say it with me, K.

K.

- [kisses] - [laughs]

(narrator) Look at K Monster!

He really likes the letter K, doesn’t he?

Now, can you write the letter K?

Let’s all write it with K Monster.

Have you got your paper and pencil ready?

Here we go.

We’re drawing a big K.

That’s great.

Can you do it again?

A big K!

That’s right! K.

You’re very good at this.

K Monster is very happy,

because now he can write his favorite letter,

the letter K.

Now that you can write the letter K,

let’s look at some great new words

that start with, you guessed it, K!

Do you know what this might be?

It’s a lot of fun to play with.

Have you worked out what it’s called?

That’s right. It’s a kite.

Kite.

K-i-t-e. Kite.

All together, say it one more time.

Kite.

K-i-t-e.

Kite.

Very good!

Let’s do another one, shall we?

Do you know what this is?

Let me give you a clue.

It’s what you call a baby cat.

That’s right! It’s a kitten.

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

Kitten.

K-i-t-t-e-n.

Kitten.

Excellent! Let’s do it again.

Kitten.

K-i-t-t-e-n.

Kitten.

You’ve got the first two questions right.

Let’s see if you can get this one right as well.

This is a hard one.

What kind of fruit begins with a K?

Can you work it out?

That’s right! It’s a kiwi fruit.

Now, here’s what the word kiwi looks like.

Say it with me.

Kiwi.

K-i-w-i.

Kiwi.

Let’s all say it together one more time.

Kiwi.

K-i-w-i.

Kiwi.

Brilliant work, everyone.

We’ve all learned three new words together.

Can you think of any more fun words

that begin with the letter K?

Now, let’s get active.

Are you feeling fit and strong?

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

[upbeat music]

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 K Monster exercise.

Watch Brian, everybody. He’ll show you what to do.

It’s very easy, and it’s fun.

You can do it!

Are you ready? Here we go.

Use your body to make a big K!

That’s it!

Easy, wasn’t it?

Ready to do it again? After three.

One, two, three.

A big K!

Great. Now you know what to do.

Let’s all do it together to the music.

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four.

And three, two, three, four.

Four, two, three, four.

Fantastic! Are you tired yet?

No? Okay, then. Let’s do it again!

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four.

And three, two, three, four.

Four, two, three, four.

Wow! You’ve got a lot of energy.

Okay, then, have a quick rest,

because you’ll need to be ready for the ABC Monster quest.

Hey, look, it’s Kerry the Kangaroo.

What are you doing here?

Hi, everyone.

I need to go to the big playing field

in the park to fly my kite,

but the park is very big, and I’m lost!

Don’t worry, Kerry.

We’ll help you find the field.

(narrator) Can you help Kerry the Kangaroo

find her way through the park?

It’s easy.

Just fill in the box with the correct letter,

and Kerry will find her way to the big playing field.

Do you know which letter we should put into the box?

Is it A?

Could it be I?

Or is it Z?

Yes, the correct letter we should put into the box

is I!

Splendid work.

Kite.

K-i-t-e.

Kite.

Now let’s take a look at puzzle number two.

Can you work out which letter we should put into the box?

Is it B?

Could it be O?

Or is it T?

That’s right!

The letter we should put into the box is T.

Kitten.

K-i-t-t-e-n.

Kitten.

Now we have the final puzzle.

Can you help Kerry the Kangaroo by solving it?

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

Is it S?

Perhaps it’s A,

or maybe it’s W.

You’re correct again!

The letter we should put into the box is W!

Kiwi.

K-i-w-i.

Kiwi.

Thank you, everyone! Now I can fly my kite!

(narrator) Congratulations!

You’ve helped Kerry the Kangaroo reach the big playing field.

(Alice) Hooray!

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

I hope you enjoyed finding out about the letter K.

So let’s finish today’s show with some music.

Sing along to the ABC song

as we say good-bye to Alice, Brian, Cherry Berry,
