(female narrator) Hello, everyone.

It’s nearly lunchtime. [sniffs]

Mmm, something smells yummy.

I wonder what’s cooking at Capital Castle.

Hey, there’s Colin the Cook.

He’s making lunch for the ABC Monsters.

Alice, Brian, Cherry Berry!

We’re here, Colin.

I’ve got a bowl of pasta for P Monster,

an apple pie for A Monster,

and bowl of hot and spicy curry for C Monster.

We’ll serve these straight away.

I hope N Monster likes his new meal.

It’s a shame we ran out of his favorite noodles.

Don’t worry, Colin.

We’ll ask N Monster after we deliver these.

(narrator) Elsewhere in Alphabet Garden,

the ABC Monsters are eating their lunch.

There’s J Monster.

She’s eating a tasty jam sandwich.

E Monster and B Monster are eating eggs and bacon,

and there’s S Monster.

She’s munching on a big bowl of healthy salad.

I wonder whose meal this is.

(Alice) What’s wrong, Cherry Berry?

I think one of the ABC Monsters might be missing.

Oh, no. We need to check, quickly.

(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

♪

(narrator) One of the ABC Monsters is missing.

Can you guess which one?

(Alice) L, M, O, P.

Hmm. Oh, I know.

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

N Monster is gone.

Oh, no. Where could he have gone to?

We have to find N Monster.

Great. Let’s start searching.

Where do you think we should start looking?

Let’s look in the ABC book.

The clue says:

The ABC book is telling us to go northwest.

Let’s go.

There’s nobody here.

Are you sure the ABC book is working properly?

Of course it is, but it’s up to us

to find the person described in the clue.

Okay, then. Let’s split up and look around.

I’ve searched everywhere,

and the only person I could find was Alice.

[laughs] And I didn’t need finding.

(narrator) Just then, Cherry Berry noticed something.

I just noticed something over there.

It looks like a hat.

Let’s see who’s wearing it.

(narrator) Who do they find behind the hedge

but their old friend--

Nick Newman, the nighttime security guard.

What are you doing here, Nick?

I thought you only worked at night.

Usually, I do.

But last night, I was nailing up

a new no parking sign on this tree,

when suddenly, I heard a thump that came from the floor.

Ooh, what was the thump?

A bird’s nest containing baby chicks.

It fell from the tree and rolled away.

Now I can’t find it.

We’ll find it for you.

Wonderful, and if there’s anything

I can do for you in return, just name it.

Well, we’re looking for N Monster.

Any clue you have that could help us find him would be great.

It’s a deal.

(narrator) Can you find the missing nest full of baby chicks?

Look carefully and shout out when you see them.

Can you see it yet?

Well done. You found the nest.

[chicks chirping]

Thank you, everyone.

The chicks in the nest are back where they belong.

Nest! That’s the answer to the clue.

It fits.

Thanks to you, I’ll finally be able

to go home and get some sleep.

[yawns]

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

[yawns]

I got to get some sleep before I go to work tonight.

(narrator) So with a new clue to solve,

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

waved good-bye to Nick Newman, the nighttime security guard,

and wished him sweet dreams.

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry were trying to work out

what the second clue meant.

Hmm, I’ve never come across a fruit

with a hard shell before.

Yes, this is a difficult clue to solve.

(narrator) Just then, Alice heard someone shout her name.

(girl) Hello, Alice.

Who said that?

Over there, it’s Nelly Neil.

Hello, Nelly. What you doing?

I’m selling these tasty nuts.

So what brings you to Nelson Market?

We’re looking for our friend, N Monster.

He’s gone missing.

I saw him earlier.

I gave him some nuts to eat.

If you can help me fill up these sacks with nuts,

I’ll reveal a clue to help you find him.

(narrator) Nelly has nine sacks that need filling with nuts.

Can you help to fill the sacks?

Are you ready?

Here we go.

One sack.

Two sacks.

Three sacks.

Four sacks.

Five sacks.

Six sacks.

Seven sacks.

Eight sacks.

And here’s the last one, nine sacks.

Well done.

You’ve helped fill nine sacks of nuts for Nelly.

(all) Hooray!

Thank you for helping me with those sacks of nuts.

It’s amazing the trees grow so many of them.

Nuts! That is the answer to the second clue.

Look for a fruit with a hard shell

that grows on trees and is tasty to eat.

A nut is a fruit which has a hard shell around it.

So the answer is nut.

We solved it.

We’re another step closer to finding N Monster.

Maybe I can get you even closer with this clue.

Hope you find him soon.

Thank you, Nelly.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry arrive at Nightingale Lane.

Wow, just one more clue to crack.

[sniffs]

Can you smell something?

(both) No.

[sniffs]

Mmm, it smells yummy.

The clue said N Monster is eating his favorite food.

He must be nearby.

(narrator) Can you help Cherry Berry sniff out N Monster?

Take a big sniff, like this.

[sniffs deeply]

(narrator) Smell the air with a sniff, sniff, sniff.

There’s a scent on the air, a whiff, whiff, whiff.

Just follow the aroma wherever it goes,

and you’ll find N Monster if you follow your nose.

There he is.

N Monster is outside Nancy’s Noodle Shop.

Well done. You’ve sniffed him out.

We found him.

(all) Hooray!

Hello, everyone. Are you hungry too?

I wasn’t, but that yummy smell is making my belly rumble.

Me too.

And me.

Did you say you’ve got rumbly bellies?

We can’t have that.

Hello, Nancy. These are my friends,

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

Noodles are my favorite food,

and Nancy makes the best in town.

Hey, the last clue said

N Monster is eating his favorite food,

and the answer is noodles, so...

Noodles is the answer to the final clue.

We solved all the puzzles.

Met new friends.

And found N Monster.

(all) Hooray!

(narrator) And because N Monster

wanted everyone to try his favorite food,

he asked Nancy to bring enough noodles

for all the ABC Monsters.

Mmm, mmm, noodles are noodlicious.

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Welcome to ABC Monsters’ Brainy g*ng.

Say hello to our friends,

Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

Today, we will all be finding out about the letter N.

Hello, N Monster.

To start the show,

let’s sing one of N Monster’s favorite songs,

a song that is all about the letter N.

Are you ready?

[upbeat music]

♪

[children cheering]

[laughs]

[cheers and applause]

♪

Whoo-hoo!

Whee!

[laughs]

[cheers and applause]

Whoo-hoo!

Whee!

[laughs]

[applause]

(narrator) I wonder what discoveries we’ll make today.

Look, it’s N Monster.

He’s wearing a chef hat.

And here comes Cherry Berry.

Cherry Berry has turned the bowl of noodles

into the letter N. N.

All together, now, say it with me.

N. N.

[laughs]

Look at N Monster, always thinking of his stomach.

Do you think you can write the letter N?

Yes? Well, let’s all

try and write it with N Monster.

Have you got your paper and pencil ready?

Okay, then. We’re drawing a big N.

Hey, that’s really good. Let’s do it again.

A big N.

Excellent. You did it.

Look at N Monster.

He’s very pleased, because he can now write

his favorite letter, N.

Now that we know how to write the letter N,

let’s take a look at the following words

that begin with, you guessed it, the letter N.

Do you know what this object is?

A bird will make this object out of twigs and leaves.

That’s right. It’s called a nest.

Well done. Let’s say it one more time.

Nest.

Nest.

Did you enjoy that?

Okay, here’s another one for you to solve.

Can you guess what this object is?

It’s small, grows on special trees,

and comes in a hard, protective shell.

That’s right.

It’s a nut.

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

Nut.

Nut. That was easy, wasn’t it?

Let’s do it again.

Nut

Nut.

You’ve got two of the questions right,

but will you find the correct answer to the last question?

This one’s tricky. Here’s a clue.

They’re long, thin,

and they’re N Monster’s favorite food.

That’s right.

They’re called noodles,

and here’s what the word noodles looks like.

Noodles.

Noodles.

That’s right.

Let’s say it together one more time.

Noodles.

Noodles.

Can you think of anymore interesting words

that begin with the letter N?

I hope you’re feeling fit and active,

because it’s time to do another fun-packed ABC Monster move.

[funky music]

Hello, everyone.

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

[clapping to beat]

Wow, that was fun, wasn’t it?

Now that you are warmed up,

it’s time to get active with the ABC Monsters.

Today, we’ll be doing the N 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 N.

That’s it. That was easy, wasn’t it?

Are you ready to do it again?

A big N.

That’s right. Now you know the move.

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.

Fantastic.

You’re very good at doing the N Monster move.

Now, let’s take a short break to get your breath back

so that you’re ready for the next challenge,

the ABC Monster quest.

It’s Nelly Neil.

What are you doing here, Nelly?

I need to sell some tasty nuts to my customers,

but I’m lost and can’t find the market

where I left my nut stall.

Don’t worry, Nelly.

We’ll help you find your way back to the market.

(narrator) Can you help Nelly find her nut stall?

Just fill in the box with the correct letter

and help guide Nelly along the path.

Listen carefully to the following questions.

Can you tell me which is the correct letter

to go into the box?

Is it A, K,

or is it S?

That’s right. The correct letter is S.

Here’s another puzzle for you to solve.

Are you ready?

Which letter should be put into the box?

Is it O, C?

Maybe it’s P.

Fantastic.

You’ve picked the correct letter again,

the letter O. Well done.

Well done.

Just one more puzzle to solve.

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

letter F, U,

or is it B?

Correct again.

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

An excellent answer.

Congratulations.

You’ve successfully guided Nelly to the market.

Thank you, everyone.

(all) Hooray!

(narrator) I hope you’ve enjoyed

finding out about the notable letter N.

So let’s finish today’s show with a tune.

Get ready to sing along to the ABC song

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