One sunny day, Crystal the Curious was on a fun mission to find some books. She called out, “Books, where are you?”
As Crystal and her friends were searching, Scout shouted, “Come and see this amazing bush!” But when they got there, the bush was gone!
“How can a bush walk away?” wondered Crystal. “Scout, what did the bush look like?”
Scout described, “It was big, mostly blue with some green, and had spots that looked like eyes.”
“That’s a good clue, Scout! Let’s keep looking for the bush and the books,” said Crystal.
As they walked, Crystal saw something else. “Whoa! What kind of snake is that?” she exclaimed.
But the snake was gone too! “It was long, very thick, and blue,” said Crystal.
“Maybe it’s the same thing Scout saw,” she thought. “Let’s keep looking!”
Then Boomer saw something new. “Wow! What kind of bird is that?” he asked.
Boomer described, “It looked like a king or queen bird with a crown on its head.”
“Sounds like a fancy bird! What color was it?” asked Crystal.
“It was blue,” Boomer replied.
“Now we have a bush, a snake, and a bird. This is a real mystery!” said Crystal.
Crystal explained, “It’s a rooster! Roosters have long tail feathers and a crown on their head called a comb. They crow when the sun comes up.”
“Really? I like to yawn in the morning,” said Melody.
“Does a rooster’s crow sound like a boom?” asked Boomer.
“No, it sounds like this,” Crystal demonstrated.
Everyone tried to crow like a rooster. It was so much fun!
Crystal thought, “Maybe the rooster needs a sunnier spot to crow.”
“I know a sunny spot!” said Melody. “Follow me!”
They found a sunny place with sunflowers. “Now can we hear your crow, rooster?” asked Melody.
“Maybe the rooster is shy,” said Crystal. “Let’s give it some space.”
After helping the rooster, they continued their search for books. “Books, where are you?” they called.
Melody pretended to be a butterfly, swooping around. “I’m a bird looking for books!” she laughed.
Boomer joined in, “I’m a monkey looking for books!”
Scout pretended to be a turtle, and everyone laughed.
“What should I be?” wondered Crystal. “There are so many choices!”
And with that, Crystal and her friends continued their fun adventure, searching for books and enjoying their playful imaginations.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music]
Crystal the Curious is on a mission to find the books.
“Books, where are you?”
“Hmm, whoa! What kind of bush is that?”
“Crystal, Melody, Boomer, come and see this!”
“Huh? What is it, Scout?”
“It was an amazing bush, and it was right there!”
“That’s strange. How can a bush walk away?”
“It can’t, but Crystal the Curious will help figure it out. Scout, what did the bush look like?”
“Well, it was about this big.”
“That’s really big! What color was the bush?”
“It was mostly blue with some green and had spots that looked a bit like eyes.”
“Lots of eyes? Blue with a bit of green and lots of eyes? Good clue, Scout! Let’s keep our eyes open for the bush while we hunt for more books. I’m going to look farther down the path. Come on, everybody!”
[Music]
“Huh?”
[Music]
“Whoa! What kind of snake is that? Everyone, come see the snake!”
“Huh? Where is it?”
“It was right in this tree. What did the snake look like?”
“It was long, very thick, and blue and swishy.”
“Blue? Oh, maybe it’s the same thing you saw, Scout. It doesn’t sound like the bush, but the bush was blue. But the bush that Scout saw was this big.”
“That’s true. Crystal the Curious will figure out what the bush snake is. I’m going to look over there in those trees.”
“Me too, I’ll help!”
[Music]
“Wow! What kind of bird is that? Crystal, Scout, Melody, come see this bird!”
“Huh? A bird? Where?”
“I can’t see it; it’s gone! It was in that bush. What did the bird look like, Boomer?”
“Like a king or a queen bird because it had a crown on its head.”
“Sounds like a fancy bird! What color was the bird?”
“It was blue.”
“Hmm, now we have a bush, snake, and bird. This is a real mystery!”
“If it is a bird, Crystal, maybe it flew from the bush to the trees.”
“Is it a book, Crystal?”
“No, Melody, it’s a rooster.”
“What’s a rooster?”
“A kind of bird. They have long tail feathers and a wavy crown on top of their head called a comb. See? And the best thing about roosters is they always crow when the sun comes up in the morning.”
“Really? I like to yawn in the morning.”
“And I like to stretch because I like to boom!”
“Does a rooster’s crow sound like a boom, Crystal?”
“No, Boomer, it sounds like this.”
“I want to try!”
[Music]
“Wow, that’s fun to say! And there’s the sun! Now here comes the rooster’s crow. Wait for it!”
[Music]
“Hmm, I think the rooster was just itchy after sleeping in a straw bed.”
“Maybe the rooster needs some help.”
“Then let’s help him! But how?”
“One thing that makes a rooster crow is the sun, so maybe we need to find a sunnier spot.”
“Where can we find that?”
“Hmm, I know where! I saw a super sunny spot on our walk. Right this way, rooster!”
“Look, he likes it! I knew it would be extra sunny here because these flowers love the sun. That’s why they’re called sunflowers.”
“Good idea, Melody! Now can we hear your crow, rooster, please?”
“Hmm, maybe the rooster is shy.”
“Sometimes I feel shy too, but you can do it! I know you can!”
“Oh, maybe you’d feel more comfortable if I don’t watch. I’ll close my eyes.”
“It’s gonna crow!”
“Hmm, definitely no books. Where do we look now?”
“Hello? Any books in there?”
“That way! Come on!”
“Okay!”
[Music]
“Huh? Hey, wait for me!”
[Music]
“Books, looking for books, looking for books to share. Could they be here?”
“Good baby!”
[Music]
[Laughter]
“What are you doing, Melody?”
“Yes, I don’t know.”
“You’re pretending to be a butterfly?”
“No, it’s more like she’s swooping like a bird.”
“Whoosh!”
“Yes, I’m a bird looking for books!”
“That’s fun! I want to be something too!”
“Hmm, I got one! What am I?”
“That’s easy, Boomer! You’re a monkey!”
“Right! A monkey looking for books!”
“Oops, sorry, Scout!”
“What do you want to be, Crystal?”
“I don’t know.”
“Hmm, I can’t pick.”
“I know! What am I?”
“You’re a snail!”
“Close! Oh, I know! I know! I know! You’re a turtle!”
“Yes, I am!”
[Laughter]
“Turtles are very sweet, Scout, but way too slow. We want something fast to find a book!”
“Fast? Oh, okay! There’ll be a cat!”
[Laughter]
“You’re next, Crystal! Everyone’s had a turn but you!”
“Okay, I could be a—”
“No, that’s not right. Maybe a—”
“Huh, there are so many things I could be! I can’t pick just one!”
[Music]
