0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Every day when you're walkin' down the street
0:00:04 > 0:00:07# Everybody that you meet
0:00:07 > 0:00:11# Has an original point of view
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:00:13 > 0:00:18# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:20# And get along with each other
0:00:20 > 0:00:24# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:24 > 0:00:27# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!
0:00:30 > 0:00:34# Get together and make things better by working together
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:38 > 0:00:43# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hey!- Whoa! Oof!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Several viewers have expressed interest
0:01:11 > 0:01:14in what it's like to be Miss Muffy's personal butler.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I quite enjoy my job.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20It affords me many opportunities to shop in the finest stores...
0:01:23 > 0:01:27..And to celebrate the great outdoors.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Of course, Miss Muffy does expect the highest standards of service.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Oh, dear! Bailey, I dropped my charm bracelet!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Right away, Miss Muffy.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45'Occasionally, she can be a bit...demanding.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48'And a few times, I have found myself in,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52'shall we say, compromising situations.'
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Isn't this fun?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Ooh! FroYo!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Working for Miss Muffy is by no means an easy job.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Bailey! I can't find my purple tights!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08And this cucumber sandwich still has the crust on it!
0:02:08 > 0:02:13But one thing I'll say for it, it's never dull.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Coming, Miss Muffy!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26"The Pretty Pioneers Collection."
0:02:27 > 0:02:30This one is called Abigail. Isn't she beautiful?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Indeed, Miss Muffy,
0:02:32 > 0:02:37and she bears a striking resemblance to Bernadette, Camille and Mathilda
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Perhaps they're all sisters.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It says here that they're characters
0:02:43 > 0:02:45from the Pretty Pioneers series of books.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51"Collect the dolls, collect the books and start your very own book club."
0:02:51 > 0:02:53What's a book club?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56A gathering of friends that reads different books each week
0:02:56 > 0:02:58and then discusses them.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Ooh! What fun!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04We'll begin with the first book in the series.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Let's see. One for Francine, one for Arthur,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10one for Brain and one for you.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15"Abigail & The Apple Aspic."
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I can hardly wait(!)
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Dear book club members,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23our first meeting will be this Saturday, at two o'clock.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27'Enclosed is your copy of Abigail & The Apple Aspic.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'Please read the whole book and be ready to discuss it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33'I'm sure we'll love it too.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34'I know you're as excited as I am
0:03:34 > 0:03:37'to dive into the Pretty Pioneer prairie.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40'Yours truly, Muffy Crosswire, president.'
0:03:41 > 0:03:44HE SNORES
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I thought we'd use the living room, since there's lots of space.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Pardon, Miss Muffy, but might I suggest we use the Crosswire library?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It seems a more appropriate setting for a book club.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58We have a library?!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02THEY GASP
0:04:02 > 0:04:04This place is amazing!
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I've never seen so many books!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12It's Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14HE GASPS
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I'm afraid these books aren't real, Mr Powers.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22The real book section is over there, where Mr Read is.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27"Squeezing The Lemon, Insider's Guide To Selling Used Cars."
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Daddy says that's a classic. Oh, look, a fireplace!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Ooh, cosy!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39OK, everyone, get comfortable and we'll get started.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I'll just get us some refreshments.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I don't know about you guys, but I loved Abigail & The Apple Aspic.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Do I have an eye for great literature, or what?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It was one of the funniest books I've ever read!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Funny?!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- I don't think it was meant to be funny.- But it was so ridiculous!
0:04:58 > 0:05:03It was a heartbreaking tragedy! When Abigail sells her record player
0:05:03 > 0:05:07to raise money for the puppy orphanage, I was so moved!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Well, I was MOVED to write the author a letter.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13The book takes place in 1865,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17but Edison didn't invent the record player until 1877!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Here - I made a list of all the other historical inaccuracies
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and examples of poor grammar.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26What about you, Bailey? Did you hate the book too?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Uh... Aspic, anyone?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Well, I hope you all like Bernadette & The Butter Churn better,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35because that's what we're reading next.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37The whole point of a book club
0:05:37 > 0:05:40is that we get to take turns choosing what to read.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42No, it isn't! Is it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45The book clubs in which I have participated
0:05:45 > 0:05:48have generally observed a democratic process.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50How about The Quark Knight?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54It's about a scientist who gets turned into a subatomic particle.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Sounds exciting!- Cool cover!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Fine! We'll read about your silly Quack Knight.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- He's a QUARK Knight.- Whatever.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Meeting adjourned!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Number 13 - Mathilda & The Missing Moccasin.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Only 13 more to go!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Don't you like the way your book looks
0:06:12 > 0:06:16in the official Pretty Pioneer bookcase, Mathilda?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Wait, I think you're Hester. Emma has one more freckle.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Come in!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I noticed you had not yet acquired The Quark Knight,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29so I took the liberty of purchasing you a copy.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34What? It doesn't even come with a doll?!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Oh, well. Thanks, anyway.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41You do recall, Miss Muffy, that our next book club meeting is tomorrow?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43How could I forget?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Actually, Miss Muffy, it's a surprisingly good read.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- I particularly like...- You don't have to pretend to like it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It's just us here.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57Well, I guess I better start my "assignment".
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Ned's plight reminded me how insignificant our lives are.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I was deeply affected.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I didn't get the ending. Did Ned die?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12He was sucked into a hole in the space-time continuum,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15so, actually, the story never even happened.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Whoa! Deep!
0:07:18 > 0:07:19What about you, Muffy?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Huh?- Did you like the book?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Oh, uh... It was...OK.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27"OK"? That's it?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Well... I liked Nate.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Ned.- Right!
0:07:32 > 0:07:37But it was a little - how do I put this? - um, predictable.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42You mean, like the part where Ned defeats the electro dragon?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Exactly!- Oof!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46A-ha! That never happened.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Arthur just made it up to test you.
0:07:48 > 0:07:55OK, OK, I didn't read it. I tried to, but it was too boring.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57How can you know it was boring if you did not read it?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I can tell by the cover. The hero is a blue blob.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03At least Abigail had a pretty face.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Muffy, we agreed to take turns deciding what to read.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11It's my book club, so I get to make the rules.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Here's a new one. We'll read what I want, or you're all fired.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Fine, we'll just start our own book club.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20You guys want to read the Sable Stallion for next week?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22It was one of my dad's favourites.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Sure, OK.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28Ha! We'll see who has the better book club. Come on, Bailey.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I'll buy all the books, and there will be hot chocolate
0:08:31 > 0:08:33with little marshmallows.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36You just have to like whatever I like.
0:08:36 > 0:08:42Well, fine, go volunteer at the hospital instead. See if I care.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Sue Ellen is off the list.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Anyway, there's plenty of people left to ask.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Well, I found Bernadette And The Butterchurn
0:09:01 > 0:09:06to be almost entirely free of typographical errors.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07What about you, Daddy?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I still can't get over the fact that we have a library.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm sorry, Muffin, what did you ask me?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Did you like the book?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Oh, well, to tell you the truth, Pumpkin,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I thought it was boring and poorly written.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- But I love this little butterchurn that came with it.- Daddy!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29How can you? Oh, I give up.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Why should I defend it? It was terrible.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Maybe Camille The Crusty Crumpet would be better?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I sincerely doubt it, Miss Muffin.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Bailey's right. They're just written to help sell dolls.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46But if you want us to keep reading them...?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Oh! Thank you both, but I think this was the last chapter
0:09:50 > 0:09:52of the Crossfire Book Club.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Say goodbye to your books. They are moving to the library
0:09:59 > 0:10:02with all of the other fake books.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20The Sable Stallion. That's that boring book Francine wanted to read.
0:10:20 > 0:10:27This book belongs to Eddie Edsil Crossfire, Fourth Grade. Daddy?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32SHE GIGGLES
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Just one more...
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Page.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42SHE GASPS
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Ah!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48What am I wearing? It is so two centuries ago!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Bailey!
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Hello, Muffy. We are so delighted you decided to stay with us.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Would you like to try my aspic?
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Stay with you? I have decided to...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Have some butter. It tastes just like the aspic.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10In fact, everything here is the same.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15That way, there are no surprises. You will be happy with us.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Getting the same thing every time.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Get away from me!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Wait. Take me with you.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Sorry. I am late for book club at Francine's.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51OK. Before you say anything,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I'm really sorry I acted like such a bossy boots.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57And I know you have probably finished discussing
0:11:57 > 0:12:00the Sable Stallion but could I please join you?
0:12:00 > 0:12:05We're just sitting down to discuss it now.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08What I really thought was amazing was the way the horse
0:12:08 > 0:12:10seemed to know what the little girl was thinking.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I know. I haven't finished it yet
0:12:13 > 0:12:16but so far, it's like she and the horse are twins.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18And what about that horse trainer?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Is he evil or what?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23No he isn't. He is simply the product of a repressive era
0:12:23 > 0:12:26and a father who cannot display affection.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Don't give it away. I'm not there yet!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35# Every day when you're walking down the street
0:12:35 > 0:12:38# And everybody that you meet
0:12:38 > 0:12:40# Has an original point of view
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- # And I say hey - Hey! What a wonderful kind of day
0:12:46 > 0:12:50# Hey! What a wonderful kind of day Hey! #
