Hey, everyone. Welcome back to "Gigi's Magic Mailbox."
[harp trills]
Did you hear that? You know what that means. Something's just arrived in the magic mailbox. Let's see what it is.
(Describer) Gigi opens the magic mailbox.
[chimes tinkle]
Yay, my favorite, Pete the Cat. And we know what that means. It's a Pete the Cat book. "Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes." Sounds like Pete's headed off to school with some pretty cool shoes, huh? Well, I can't wait to see how his day at school goes. Can you? Well, if you have your own copy go grab it and we can read it together. Alright, let's get started.
(Describer) In an animation, a magic mirror reflects Gigi, a red-lipped woman in bejeweled, cat-eye glasses.

Pete is sitting at his desk when his teacher says, "Come on, Pete, down the hall to a room with books on every wall." Where is Pete going? The library. Pete has never been to the library before. Does Pete worry? Goodness, no. He finds his favorite book and sings his song.

Check out Pete. He's ready to eat in a big noisy room with tables and seats. Where is Pete?

(Describer) Later, Pete sits on a slide.
Pete and his friends are playing outside on a green, grassy field with swings and tall slides. Where is Pete? The playground. Kids are running in every direction. Does Pete worry? Goodness, no. He slides and swings and sings his song.
