Episode 3501

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At Hooper's Store, Zoe tries to show how well she can read, but only makes wild guesses while reading the word "MILK" on her carton. Carlo corrects her and Zoe asks him to read the word "milk" over and over before he suggests she read it herself, now that she knows what it looks like. Carlo thinks a book would be better to read than a milk carton and offers to take Zoe to the library; Zoe hopes they can find a book about milk.
 	Film 	On the farm, a boy enjoys a glass of MILK.
 	Muppets 	The Two-Headed Monster finishes drinking milk, and doesn't know what to do with the cartons at first, but gets the idea to "recycle" them and play with them like a train.

 	Muppets 	Grover tries to ignore three monsters who look big and scary to him. When they notice him carrying a flute, they grab his attention and ask -- in what appears to be a threatening way -- if Grover wants to play. The three monsters pull out a clarinet, an oboe and a bassoon and begin to play, urging Grover to join in.
 	Cartoon 	Where does the cow live? (Maria voiceover)
 	SCENE 2 	At the library, Carlo finds a book related to milk for Zoe - The Cow Jumped Over the Moon. Zoe doesn't understand the correlation, until she realizes milk comes from cows. She asks him to read it, but he recommends they take it back to Hooper's Store. Zoe doesn't understand how that works, so Carlo brings her to the front desk and she observes Lexine and Carlo using their library cards to take out books. Zoe becomes inspired to get one too, and Linda prepares one for her; all she needs to do is write her name on it. Zoe can't write her name yet, so Carlo brings her back to the store to practice.
