Oh, a book!
And I see a big yellow
school bus on it.
This is called, "Even
Monsters Go to School."
Oh, that's so silly.
Do you think monsters
go to school?
Yeah? Well, we're
about to find out.
Are you excited to go to school?
You are?
What do you think
you're gonna learn?
My letters.
Your letters?
What else do you
think you'll learn?
(Describer) Daisy shrugs.
I don't know.
You don't know?
Well, that's the fun part.
You're gonna get
to find out, right?
Well, if you have your
own copy, go grab it
and we'll read, "Even Monsters
Go to School," together.
All right, let's get started.
