  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Rayo Eye's Turner Story Hour. As
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: a reminder, Rayo Eye is a reading service intended for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: people who are blind or have other disabilities that make
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it difficult to read printed material. Today we will be
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: reading from various books on the character Pinkalicious. Your reader
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: today is Diane. Our first story is Pinkalicious, Message in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a Bottle. And it was published by Harper and imprint
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of HarperCollins Publishers. It has a copyright year of 2022.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And the author is Victoria Kan. Molly and I were
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: building the sandcastle at the beach. Suddenly I saw something
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: shimmer under the sand. I spy buried treasure, I said.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Let's dig for it, Molly said. I shoveled and Molly scooped.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I got it, Molly said at last. It's a bottle.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: That's not just any bottle, I said. It's a message
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in a bottle. I've read about them. People used to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: throw bottles into the ocean to send messages. Wow, Molly said.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I can't believe we found one. Let's read the message,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I said. The top is stuck, Molly said. I yanked
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and tugged. Suddenly the top popped off. I flew backward
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: into the sand. Got it, I said with a giggle.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: We carefully unrolled the paper. I read the message out loud.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: The prize goes to the one who knows where Little
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Rose grows. It's a riddle, Molly said. We studied the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: note together. If we find Little Rose, it will lead
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: us to a prize, I said. We have to solve
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the mystery. I spot our first clue, Molly said. She
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: pointed to the back of the paper. There was a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: picture of a rose. Next to the rose were the words,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: marks the spot in Pinkville. That must mean we're looking
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: for a rose that's little and pink, I said. The
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: next day, Molly and I met at the garden in
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Pinkville Park. The pink detectives are on the case, I said.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Let's look for clues. We searched high and low. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: see something, I exclaimed. These pink roses are just like
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the drawing in our notes. Plus, they're little, Molly said.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Case closed, I said. We went over to the gardener.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: We're here for the prize, I said. The gardener looked confused.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Your prize, she repeated. Oh, you must mean our prize peonies.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: They're over here. Our mission is complete, I said. Then
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I looked at the peonies. A flower, I asked. Is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that our prize? We showed the gardener our note. We
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: found your message in a bottle, I explained. I didn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: write that, she said, but I do love the stationery.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: A dead end, Molly said. Maybe not, I said. Maybe
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we can find a clue at the stationery shop. Hooray,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Molly said. The pink detectives are on the case. Can
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you tell us something about the stationery, I asked the shopkeeper.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, he said. The paper curls at the edges
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and the ink is fading. This was written a long
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: time ago. IF THIS NOTE IS REALLY OLD, THE PRICE
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: IS PROBABLY GONE, I SAID. THIS CASE IS UNSOLVABLE. MOLLY
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: AND I TOOK A LONG WALK HOME. I GUESS WE'LL
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: NEVER FIND WHERE THE PINK ROSE GROWS, MOLLY SAID SADLY.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: SUDDENLY I STOPPED SHORT. I LOOKED THROUGH MY BINOCULARS AT
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: A COTTAGE BY THE SEA. I SPY PINK A PERFECT ROSES,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I SAID. WE HURRIED OVER TO THE COTTAGE. IT WAS
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: ROSETASTIC AND I SPOTTED SOMETHING. What's this, I asked. Oh,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: my pinkness, I gasped. I can't believe it, Molly said.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's the rose from the message. We had to find
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: out more, I said. Time to investigate. In the back
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of the house, we found a girl in the garden. Hi,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm Lily, she said. We showed Lily the message. Did
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you write this, Molly asked. I didn't, Lily said. Not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: another did, and I said... Then I heard someone say,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: oh my, it's my bottle, said a woman. You sent
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this message, I asked. Yes, 60 years ago, she said.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I'm Rose, she told us. I grew up in this
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: house and I loved riddles as a kid. One day
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I wrote a riddle. I threw it out to sea
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in a bottle. I couldn't wait to see who would
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: find it and solve my riddle. But no one ever
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: did until now. We found the bottle buried at Pinkville Beach,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Molly said. The waves must have washed it back to shore,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Rose said. I can't believe it's been buried right here
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in Pinkville all along. I thought about Rose's note. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: solved the riddle, I exclaimed. Little Rose isn't a flower
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: after all. It's you, your little Rose, and you grew
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: up here. That's correct, Rose said, though I'm not so
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: little anymore. This is pink amazing, I said. Speaking of pink,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Rose said. She went inside and brought out two oyster shells.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You solved my riddle, she said. You both deserve your prize.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: We opened our shells. Inside were perfect pink pearls. Thank you,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I said to Rose. Now I have something for you, too.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: A riddle? What is the best ship in the world,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I asked. Hmm, Rose said. That would have to be friendship.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Our next story is titled Pinklicious Fashion Fun, and it
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: was published by Harper and imprinted HarperCollins Publishers. It has
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a copyright year of 2016. The author of the book
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is Victoria Kan. Rose and Molly come over to play.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Molly was holding a mysterious folder. What is in there,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I asked. They're pictures of designer clothing and fashion shows
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that I've collected from magazines, Molly explained. Those are beautiful outfits,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Rose said. I want dresses like that, I said. Mommy
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: has dressed like the one in that picture. Let's look
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in her closet, I said. We can have our own
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: fashion show. Just then, Mommy came in. What are you doing,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Mommy asked. My clothes are not for playtime. We're fashion designers,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I said. Please use your imaginations, not my clothing, said Mommy.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Imaginary clothes, said Rose. Please play in your room, not
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: my closet, said Mommy. We looked at the pictures again.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I like those shoes with bows, I said. The bows
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: look like pasta, said Molly. I have an idea, I said.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: We need glue, I said. Let's get twist ties, said Rose.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Don't forget glitter, said Molly. What are you doing, asked Peter.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Can I do it too? I thought about it. You
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: can be a photographer, I said. Yes, he yelled. Say
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: cupcake and smile. The doorbell rang. My friends' mothers were
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: here to pick them up. Have a seat, said Mommy.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: The girls have a surprise for you. Are you ready,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: asked my friends. It's showtime. Welcome to our fashion show,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Rose said as we paraded into the living room. We
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: use things around the house to make our clothes, I added.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Look at my newspaper and coffee filter pants, said Molly.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The flowers on my vest are cupcake liners, said Rose.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: My dress is made from bubble wrap, I said. Click
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: went to Peter's camera. Bravo, Rose's mom said. cheered show

  Speaker 1: And now we can see your sparkly macaroni shoes. If
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you stick with it, she said, you'll have a career
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in fashion. I love how you use food in your designs.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, I said, I was inspired. I smiled and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: grabbed my sketchbook and I had an idea, a cupcake dress.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I wonder if I could use real frosting. Our next
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: book is called Pinkalicious, The Royal Tea Party. It was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: published by Harper and Imprinted. of HarperCollins Publishers. It has
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a copyright year of 2014. The author of the book
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is Victoria Kan. Go Delicious is the best unicorn ever.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I want everyone to know it. You should throw her
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a party, Peter said. That gave me a great idea. Listen, Goaty,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I said. Goaty is her nickname. I'm going to crown
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you Princess Go Delicious. There was a lot to do
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to get ready for the coronation. Can I do something,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Peter asked. Sorry, Peter, I said. This party is only
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: for members of the royal court. I thought about what
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Peter does the best. Peter likes to eat. Maybe you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: could be the royal taster, I said. That means you
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: taste all the food to make sure it's perfect. Great idea,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Peter said. I can't wait to start. I decorated the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: backyard with Goatee's favorite color, pink. Then I went inside
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and planned the perfect menu. What do you think, Peter?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I asked. Peter had a little sympathetic tea this tastes
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: okay peter said it's a little boring though don't be
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: silly i told him it's perfect soon my guests arrive
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: come in come in i cry you're just in time
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to help get goatee ready can i help peter asked
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: no thanks i said but you can go to the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: kitchen and take the food outside. Peter went to the kitchen.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: He was in there for a long time. What are
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you doing in there? I called. The royal taster's only
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: supposed to have one taste. I'm just making sure the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: food is perfect, Peter replied. I'm coming outside now. Finally,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Goaty was ready. Let the royal tea party begin, I declared.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: My friends and I sat down. Goaty had the place
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: of honor. I noticed that the food looked a little different.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I sipped my tea. Party me a moment, I said
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to my guest. Then I dragged Peter away. What should
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you do to the tea? I whispered. I made it better,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Peter said. I used all my favorite foods. I put
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: maple syrup in one teacup. I added peanut butter to another.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I stirred strawberry jam and vanilla yogurt into the other teacups,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Peter continued. As the royal taster, I felt the sandwiches
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: were tasteless, so I made better ones with ice cream
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: instead of mayonnaise and go fish crackers instead of tuna fish.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: This is a disaster, I cried. I went back to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: apologize to my guest. Yum, Molly exclaimed. This sandwich is delicious.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: My tea tastes yummy too, Lila added. What's your secret, Pinkalicious?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I tasted my tea again. It tasted like maple syrup. Hmm,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it was good. My friends didn't seem to mind. The
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: food tasted extra special. Maybe this party wasn't a disaster
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: after all. Maybe it was a perfect royal tea party.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Let the coronation begin, I said. Godi pranced forward. Godalicious,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you are the smartest, most beautiful unicorn ever. I touched
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: my wand to Godi's horn. I hereby Royally declare you
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Princess Godelicious, I said. Hooray, my friends cheered. I gave
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Peter a new hat. Then I touched my wand to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: his head. I declare you, Sir Peter, the chef, I said. Hear, hear,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: said Peter. Who wants more? Our next book is titled
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Pinkalicious Lost in Paris. It was published by Harper and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. It has a copyright year of 2024.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: The author of the book is Victoria Kahn. We were
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: on vacation in the most pink, glamorous city in the world, Paris.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: How do you say pink in French, I asked. Rose,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Mommy said. Finding a rose-colored souvenir would be pink-a-perfect, I said.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Then I will always remember Paris. What about those souvenirs,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Peter asked. I wanted a closer look, but the cart
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: was moving fast. When I reached the cart, I picked
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: up a tiny Eiffel Tower. This is pink adorable, I said.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: How much does it cost? Four euros, the saleswoman said. Mommy,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I called out. May I have four euros, please? I
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: looked around, but I didn't see Mommy. Peter, I yelled. Oh,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I said, I must have gone further than I thought.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Where was my family? They were nowhere to be found.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I was lost in Paris. I was beginning to get
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: worried when I saw a clothing shop nearby. It was
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: called Le Boutique Rose. That must mean the pink shop
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: in French. I love French fashion. Maybe my family was
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: looking for me in the boutique. Bonjour, I'm Belle, said
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the shop owner. I see you have a passion for
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: pink like me, Belle said. She tied a pink amazing
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: scarf around my neck. Très chic, Belle said. That means
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: very stylish. You must keep it as a gift. Thank you. Merci,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I said. I couldn't wait to show Mommy. But where
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: was Mommy? What's wrong, Belle asked. I can't find my family,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I said. My shop window has a good view of Paris,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Belle said. Maybe you can find them. I climbed into
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the window. Look, said a girl standing outside. It's a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: live mannequin. Then I spotted something purple in the crowds.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Was it Mommy's dress? I ran after the purple dress,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: but when I got closer, my heart sank. It wasn't Mommy.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I sat down on a bench by a bakery. Cheer up,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the baker said. Have a baguette. He handed me a long,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: skinny loaf of bread. It gave me an idea. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: stood on a bench and held the loaf up high.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Now my family could spot me in the crowd. My
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: stomach started to growl. The bread smelled yummy. I took
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: just one bite, then another. It was so yumtastic that
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I ate it all. Oops, I said. How would my
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: family find me now? I saw a girl with her mom.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I started to cry. I missed my mommy. Bonjour, I'm Elise,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the girl said. Are you okay? I remembered something mommy
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: taught me. You get lost, ask a mother with a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: child for help. I can't find my family, I said.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Where did you last see them? Elise's mom asked. In
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: line at the Eiffel Tower, I said. That's a good
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: place to wait for them, Elise's mom said. We'll take
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you back there. I went with Elise and her mom
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: back to the ticket line. Mommy, Daddy, Peter, I shouted. Pinkalicious,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Peter shouted back. We were so worried, Mommy said. I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: remember to ask the mother with the child for help,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I said. We're proud of you, Daddy said. Thank you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: for your help, Mommy said to Elise and her mom.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You're welcome, Elise's mom said. Would you like to join
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: us for a picnic in Paris? The sun set as
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: we ate our French feast. Get ready for a surprise,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Elise said. Suddenly the Eiffel Tower lit up. It sparkled
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: in the night. Pinka, wow, I said. Elise pulled out
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a camera. Say Paris, she said. I love my new souvenir,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I said. And my new friends. Our next set of

  Speaker 1: full of farm fresh eggs. Yum, he said. Mudge wagged.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: He always wagged at yum. Then Henry's mother said she
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: wanted some fresh picked blueberries. Yum, yum, said Henry. Mudge
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: wagged harder. Yum, yum was even better. Then Henry's mother
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: said she wanted some sweet fresh corn. Yum, yum, yum,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: said Henry. Mudge wagged so hard that he knocked a
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: chair over. Does this mean we're going to a farm?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Henry asked his mother. I hope so, said Henry's dad.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: He picked up the chair. One more yum and Mudge

  Speaker 1: wouldn't let him. No, Mudge, Henry said. No kisses. Mudge
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: kissed Henry instead. Soon Henry's mother said, there's the sign.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: The sign said French's Farm, two miles. Yay, said Henry.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Henry's father drove up to the farmhouse. It was white
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: and clean and flowery. Look at those big sunflowers, said Henry.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Everything is bigger in the country, said Henry's mother. They
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: all got out of the car. A woman wearing an
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: apron came from the house. Welcome, she said. I'm Mrs. French. Mrs.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: French was nice. She told Henry he could walk all
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: around the farm. She said that he could take Mudge.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: While they explored, Henry's parents would get eggs and blueberries
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and corn and all kinds of other good farm things.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Let's go, Mudge, said Henry. Mudge wagged and off they went.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: The chase. Henry and Mudge met a lot of farm animals.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: They met a goat that tried to eat Henry's shirt.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: They met chickens that pecked Mudge's head. He didn't feel
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the pegs. Mudge had a head like concrete. They met
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a shy cat and her kittens. They met a sheep.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And then they met a goose. Ooh-oh, said Henry. Honk,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: said the goose. Honk, honk, honk. Geese are very grumpy,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Henry told Mudge. Honk, honk, honk. The goose was not
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: happy to see them. He honked and honked and honked.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Mudge didn't like it. He tried to hide between Henry's legs. Yikes,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: said Henry, falling over. The goose honked and Henry and
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Mudge all the way back to the farmhouse. They ran inside.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Henry's parents were paying Mrs. French for the bags of
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: eggs and berries and corn they were taking home. Henry's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: father looked at Henry and Mudge. He looked at the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: goose honking outside the window. Looks like you've been in
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a wild goose chase, he told Henry. Yes, but we
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: weren't doing the chasing, said Henry. Mudge and the goose
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: looked at each other through the window. Honk! said the goose.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Mudge looked. Honk, said the goose. Mudge looked. Honk, said
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the goose. Bark, said Mudge. The goose jumped three feet
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: in the air and went running wildly away. You're right, Mom,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Henry said laughing. Everything is bigger in the country, especially
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Mudge's bark. Mudge wagged proudly and Henry gave him a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: farm fresh kiss. Our next book is Henry Mudge and
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Annie's Good Move. Our book was published by Simon &
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Schuster's Children Publishing Division. It has a copyright year of 1998.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: The author of the book is Cynthia Ryland. Next door,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Henry and Henry's Big Dog Mudge. Always like this is
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: from Henry's cousin Annie. She was very careful about things.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: like her frilly dresses and her shiny shoes. But she
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: was fun. She liked Henry and she liked Mudge, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: she could throw a mean frisbee. So when Henry's mother
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: said one day that Annie was moving and that she
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: was not moving next door to Henry, Henry was thrilled.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: We have to help Annie move, Henry told Mudge. You
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: know how careful she is, Henry said. I bet she'll
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: be nervous. Henry imagined Annie packing up her things. I
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: bet she wraps those shiny shoes a million times, Henry
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: told Mudge. Mudge wagged. And those frilly dresses a zillion times,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: said Henry. Mudge wagged again. Her house is probably a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: mess right now, said Henry. Mudge wagged and drooled all
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: over Henry's shoes. But not as much of a mess
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: as I am, said Henry, looking down. Blotchy. When Henry
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: and Mudge and Henry's parents got to Annie's house on
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: moving day, Uncle Ed was carrying boxes and Annie was
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: breaking out. Hi, Annie, said Henry. You're all blotchy. I know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: said Annie. I break out when I'm nervous. Are you
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: nervous about leaving friends, asked Henry. Annie nodded. Are you
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: nervous about changing schools, asked Henry. Annie nodded again. Are
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you nervous about all your frilly dresses and shiny shoes
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and lace hankies being on that truck, asked Henry. Annie
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: nodded really hard. Three new blotches came out on her nose. Hmm,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: said Henry. Do you know what I do when I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: get nervous? What, asked Annie. I crawl under the covers
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with much, said Henry. Do you have any covers left? No,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Annie shook her head. They're all in the truck. Hmm,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: said Henry. There are some blankets on the back seat
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: of our car. Do you want to use them? Annie
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: nodded and smiled. Henry opened the car door and Annie
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: got under the covers. Mudge wagged and disappeared under the covers, too.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Henry rolled down the windows and closed the door. Goodbye, Blotches,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: he called, and he went to help Uncle Ed. The
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: new house. Annie and Mudge stayed under the covers all
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: morning long. Henry brought them food. He brought them drinks.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: He even brought them a moving man. The moving man
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: told Annie he would be very careful with their shoes
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: and dresses and lace hankies. A few of her blotches
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: went away. When the truck was loaded, everyone drove to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Annie's new house. Next door to Henry's house. Then the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: movers started carrying the boxes in. Annie was still under
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the covers in the car. Henry peeked inside. She was
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: sleeping on a lace hanky on Mudge's head. When all
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the boxes were unloaded, the movers went away. Then Henry
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: woke up Annie and everyone went into the new house.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Annie held on to Mudge. And try not to break out.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Before we unpack, said Henry's mother, we have to make
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a new house wish. We'll wish for something good for
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Annie and Uncle Ed. Something good for them in their
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: new house. Annie smiled. Great, said Henry. Henry's father lit
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: a candle. Everyone make a secret wish, he said. Then
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Annie will blow out the candle. One by one they wish.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Some wishes were big. Some were small. Some looked like
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: T-bone steak. but they were all good wishes. Annie blew
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: out the candle. Welcome home, cousin, said Henry. Welcome home, Annie,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: said Henry's parents. Mudge gave Annie a great big kiss,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and all of Annie's blotches went away. Then the next morning,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Henry had breakfast at her house. This concludes the children's
