[THEME MUSIC]
ELMO: Hey, Luis.
Dorothy's windmill is broken.
LUIS: Yeah, well, I think we can fix that.
ELMO: Oh, good.
You hear that, Dorothy?
Yeah, Dorth. [LAUGHING].
Oh, hey.
Welcome to Sesame Street.
BABY BEAR: Hm, hm, hm, do do, do do, do do.
ELMO: Oh, hi, Baby Bear.
BABY BEAR: Oh, hi, Elmo.
ELMO: Hi.
BABY BEAR: Hey, Luis.
LUIS: Hey.
ELMO: Hey, uh, have you guys seen Abby Cadabby?
I love saying that name.
Abby Cadabby.
LUIS: No.
I haven't seen her.
ELMO: No, baby bear.
BABY BEAR: No?
Huh.
We're supposed to go to school together today.
Yeah.
It's our first day at the Storybook Community School.
ELMO: Oh, wow.
BABY BEAR: Mm-hm.
LUIS: A school for storybook characters.
That sounds like the perfect place
for a fairy goddaughter like Abby.
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
BABY BEAR: What's that music?
ELMO: Oh.
[LAUGHING]
ABBY: Where am I?
Oh.
[LAUGHS] I'm here.
ELMO: Oh, hi, Abby.
BABY BEAR: Hey, Abby.
ABBY: Oh, Elmo, Elmo, Elmo, I have exciting news for you.
ELMO: It's Abby's first day of school?
ABBY: How did you know that?
It must be magic.
LUIS: Actually, Baby Bear told us.
ABBY: Oh.
[LAUGHING]
BABY BEAR: Yeah.
ABBY: I see.
ELMO: Elmo wishes he could go, too.
Storybook School sounds like so much fun.
ABBY: Oh, I can't wait.
I'm going to learn, um-- everything.
BABY BEAR: Well, if you want to learn everything,
we better be on time.
ABBY: Oh, well, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.
Let's go to school.
ELMO: Yay.
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
BABY BEAR: Huh?
ELMO: Where did she go?
LUIS: Where is she?
ELMO: Elmo doesn't know.
BABY BEAR: Abby?
Abby, where are you?
ELMO: Abby?
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
ELMO: Oh-- there you are.
ABBY: I don't know where the school is.
BABY BEAR: Yeah.
I'll show you, OK?
ABBY: OK.
BABY BEAR: But Abby?
Can we go the more traditional route and walk to school?
ABBY: Oh, walk to school?
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
BABY BEAR: Terrific.
ELMO: Abby?
Abby?
ABBY: Hm?
ELMO: Will you tell Elmo everything
that happens at school?
ABBY: I will.
I promise.
Bye.
Come on.
Let's go.
ELMO: Bye.
LUIS: Bye.
BABY BEAR: Let's go.
Here we go.
Bye bye.
ELMO: Bye, Baby Bear.
BABY BEAR: Wait, Abby.
ELMO: Elmo can't wait to hear all about it.
LUIS: Well, let's take a look at this windmill.
ELMO: OK, Luis.

Before she was Cinderella's fairy godmother.
My name is Mrs. Goose.

ABBY: Mother Goose?
You're our teacher?

Let's go.
ABBY: Oh.
[CLASSROOM CHATTER]
MOTHER GOOSE: All right, class.
Settle down.
Settle down, now.
ABBY: Wow.
Look at all these storybook characters.
MOTHER GOOSE: Now today, we have a new student,
and her name is Abby Cadabby.
And she's a fairy goddaughter.
CLASS: Wow.
ABBY: Hi.
MOTHER GOOSE: Now, why don't we try to make Abby feel at home,
and sing the "Welcome Song?"
STUDENT: Oh, good idea, teach.
CLASS: [SINGING]Welcome, welcome, how do you do?
We want to say welcome.
Welcome to you.
MOTHER GOOSE: Now, let's meet some of your other classmates.
JACK AND JILL: [SINGING]Welcome, welcome, welcome to you.
MOTHER GOOSE: This is Jack, and this is Jill.
JACK AND JILL: We're the ones who climbed the hill.
MOTHER GOOSE: Jack used to fall down a lot.
Good thing that he's got Jill.
JACK: Oh.
I think I broke my crown.
JILL: Oh, you're OK, Jack.
JACK: Oh, no.
JILL: Come on.
BABY BEAR: Yeah, don't worry.
He does it all the time.
PETER: Welcome, welcome, welcome to you.
MOTHER GOOSE: This is Peter Piper.
PETER: I'm the pickle pepper picker
who proudly prefers to pronounce "P" words.
BABY BEAR: Say that three times, but quicker.
ABBY: Peter Piper picked-- [STUTTERING] "peapan poobah"--
"pecan peepa"-- [STUTTERING]
BABY BEAR: Yeah.
OK.
Don't hurt yourself.
ABBY: OK.
[LAUGHS]
HANSEL AND GRETEL: Welcome, welcome, welcome to you.
MOTHER GOOSE: Now, here are two other friends
who have come to greet you.
HANSEL: Hello.
I'm Hansel.
GRETEL: Hello.
I'm Gretel.
HANSEL AND GRETEL: And we are happy to meet you.
GRETEL: Breadcrumbs for--
HANSEL AND GRETEL: --everyone.
HANSEL: Yeah.
GRETEL: More breadcrumbs.
BABY BEAR: Oh, you'll get used to that.
[LAUGHTER]
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND MARY: Welcome, welcome,
welcome to you.
MOTHER GOOSE: Here's Mary and her little lamb,
who is being very good.
And here we have another friend.
It's Little Red Riding Hood.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Why, Grandma!
What big wings you have.
[LAUGHS]
BABY BEAR: She thinks everyone's her grandma.
ABBY: Wow.
This place is so amazing.
CLASS [SINGING]: So welcome, welcome, welcome,
how do you do?
We want to say welcome.
Welcome to you!
ABBY: [LAUGHS] Wow.
That was the best welcome song ever.
I can't wait to tell Elmo.
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
[GASPS]
BABY BEAR: Abby?
Abby!
Uh-oh.
LUIS: Yeah, I just have to put some glue right there.
ELMO: Oh.
LUIS: Right there.
ELMO: Don't worry, Dorothy.
Luis can fix it.
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
ABBY: Elmo, Elmo, Elmo!
ELMO: But Abby, wait, wait, wait.
What is Abby doing here?
LUIS: Yeah.
We thought you were in school.
ABBY: Oh, Elmo, Luis-- there are all these famous storybook
characters.
And Mother Goose is our teacher!
ELMO: Oh!
ABBY: And they sang me this welcome song, too.
ELMO: Yeah?
ABBY: Welcome, welcome, welcome to you.
ELMO: Wow.
That sounds like so much fun, Abby.
ABBY: Mm-hm.
LUIS: Boy, that sounds like a great school.
ELMO: Yeah.
ABBY: Oh, it is great.
LUIS: But don't you think you ought to be getting back there?
ABBY: Oh, yes.
I do gotta get back.
I can't wait to learn something.
I'll tell you more later, Elmo.
ELMO: OK.
Bye.
ABBY: Bye.
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
[LAUGHTER]
LUIS: I almost got it, Elmo.
ELMO: Oh, good, Luis.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Grandma?
Grandma?
MARY: Little Lamb, where did she go?
HANSEL: One minute she was there, then she was gone.
GRETEL: And she didn't even leave any breadcrumbs.
JILL: Abby?
PETER: This is particularly perplexing.
MOTHER GOOSE: Now, class, I'm sure Abby
will be back very soon.
BABY BEAR: Wait a minute.
[POOF]
ABBY: I'm back.
Oh, sorry about that, Jack.
JACK: Oh, my--
JILL: Shake it off, Jack.
JACK: --brow.
Where am I?
JILL: Come on.
Follow the light.
Come-- come with me.
Come with me.
Come here.
BABY BEAR: Abby, where did you go?
ABBY: Well, I had to tell Elmo about this place.
Oh, and he said it sounds great, and it really is.
It really is.
MOTHER GOOSE: Well, I'm so glad you decided to come back.
And just in time, too.
Because we're about to start Show and Tell.
[BLEATING]
[CLASSROOM CHATTER]
ABBY: Wow.
Show and Tell?
What is that?
BABY BEAR: Oh, well, that's where
we bring in something from home, and show it to everybody here,
and then tell them about it.
Yeah.
Thus, the name "Show" and "Tell."
ABBY: Oh.
MOTHER GOOSE: Now, who would like to go first today?
MARY: I would.
I would.
Can I go, please?
MOTHER GOOSE: Very well, Mary.
Now stand up, and show us what you've brought for Show
and Tell.
MARY: My Little Lamb.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
JILL: But your lamb follows you to school all the time.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
MARY: Well, yes.
But this time, I want to show you a new trick
that Little Lamb has learned.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
MARY: He can sound like other animals.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
CLASS: Oh-- wow--
BABY BEAR: Animal impressions.
Intriguing.
MARY: Take it away, Little Lamb.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS] Moo.
Moo.
MARY: Did you hear that?
CLASS: Wow.
MOTHER GOOSE: Can anyone guess what animal that was?
Anyone?
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Oh.
Um-- was it a cow, Grandma?
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
MARY: Yep.
It was a cow.
Good job, Little Lamb.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
MARY: How about another one?
[LITTLE LAMB CLEARS THROAT]
LITTLE LAMB: Oink.
Oink.
Oink, oink, oink, oink.
[CLASSROOM CHATTER]
BABY BEAR: I'm pretty sure--
PETER: I'm pretty positive that was a pig.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
MARY: Yep.
That's what it was.
How about one more, Little Lamb?
LITTLE LAMB: [CLUCKS]
[CLASSROOM CHATTER]
BABY BEAR: Yes.
Uh-huh.
ABBY: Well, what noise is that, Baby Bear?
BABY BEAR: Well, if I'm not mistaken,
that would be a chicken.
MARY: Exactly!
Take a bow, Little Lamb.
LITTLE LAMB: [BLEATS]
MARY: He'll be appearing all week at the Comedy Barn.
[CLASSROOM CHATTER]
MOTHER GOOSE: Yay.
[APPLAUSE]
It always makes the children laugh
and play to see a lamb in school.
ABBY: Wow.
That was so great.
BABY BEAR: Mm-hm.
ABBY: Hm.
If only I had brought something interesting that I could show.
BABY BEAR: Well, Abby, maybe the answer
is right at your finger tips?
ABBY: Yeah.
My wand.
BABY BEAR: Yeah.
ABBY: I'm going to use it to go ask Elmo for help.
BABY BEAR: Huh?
No, wait.
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
And she's gone again.
PETER: Poof.
[MOTHER GOOSE SIGHS]
ELMO: Boy.
Dorothy's windmill looks great.
[CHIMES]
[POOF]
ABBY: Elmo!
ELMO: Abby!
ABBY: Oh, Elmo, I have a problem.
ELMO: What's that?
ABBY: Well, I didn't bring anything for Show
and Tell today.
LUIS: Oh, I'm sure they'll understand.
It's your first day.
ELMO: Yeah.
LUIS: But you should go back to school, Abby.
ABBY: Oh, but I really, really want
to show them something interesting.
ELMO: Well, Abby could show them Abby's wand.
ABBY: My wand?
ELMO: Yeah.
LUIS: That's a great idea.
I'll bet everyone would love to learn
about a fairy goddaughter's magic wand.
ABBY: You think so?
ELMO: Oh, yeah.
Abby's magic wand is cool.
Elmo loves when Abby taps her wand on her head,
and does this.
ABBY: [GASPS] Oh.
Oh.
LUIS: Elmo?
Elmo?
ABBY: Uh-oh.
MOTHER GOOSE: I'm sure Abby will be back any second.
[CHIMES]
JACK: Oh, no.
Here she comes again.
[POOF]
ELMO: Oh, boy.
BABY BEAR: Elmo, what are you doing here?
ELMO: Elmo isn't sure.
Where is Elmo?
And who are you?
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD: Why, Grandma!
What red fur you have.
[CHIMES]
ELMO: Huh?
JACK: Oh, no--
[POOF]
ELMO: Abby!
ABBY: Elmo!
MOTHER GOOSE: What is going on, here?
ABBY: Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Goose.
ELMO: Wait a minute.
Are you Mother Goose?
MOTHER GOOSE: In the goose flesh.
ELMO: Is Elmo in Storybook School?
MOTHER GOOSE: Yes, you are.
ELMO: Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
Elmo always wanted to come here.
ABBY: Hey, Miss Goose.
Guess what?
I can do Show and Tell now.
I have the perfect thing.
ELMO: Abby's wand?
ABBY: No.
You, Elmo.
ELMO: Elmo?
BABY BEAR: Elmo?
ABBY: Mm-hm.
Sure.
Elmo's my friend.
And I want to show everybody my friend, Elmo,
and tell them what a great friend he is.
Oh, Mrs. Goose, can Elmo stay?
Oh, please?
ELMO: Please?
MOTHER GOOSE: Well, I think Elmo can be our guest for today.
ELMO AND ABBY: Oh, yay!
ABBY: Oh, oh, and Miss Goose?
Before I do any of my Show and Tell,
can we sing that great welcome song to Elmo?
MOTHER GOOSE: Why, I think that's a marvellous idea.
Class?
CLASS: [SINGING] So welcome, welcome,
welcome, how do you do?
We want to say welcome-- welcome to you.
ELMO: Aw, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mother Goose.
OSCAR: Gee.
Grouches try to make their mothers angry.
GORDON: But why would you want to make-- oh.
Oh, oh.
Right.
Grouches love to be angry, right?
OSCAR: That's right.
GORDON: Yeah, right.
OSCAR: I want this to be the worst grouchy Mother's Day
ever.
