Elmo's World: Books

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	Guess what Elmo's thinking about today?	Elmo opens his door which is full of shelves of books. Unprovoked, the shelves break in unison, dumping the books on the floor.
 	Dorothy's Question 	Dorothy wants to know how you read a book.
 	The Noodle Family 	Mr. Noodle sits on a book, examines the binder, and holds the book upside-down without ever successfully reading it properly. The Kids and Elmo tell him to turn it upside-down, so he sits in a chair on his head to read.
 	Kids and Baby 	Kids read some books, one of which starts with the line "Put Down the Duckie."
 	Elmo's Question 	Elmo counts how many books will fill up the bookshelf.
 	Quiz 	Elmo tells the audience who reads books and who doesn't. Pineapples don't. Cats don't, but you can read a book about cats to your cat. Birthday cakes don't, but you can get a book for your birthday. Beds don't, but the Count can read books in bed.

 	Tickle Me Land 	Taking a note from the circus book, Dorothy imagines Elmo as a tightrope walker. And from other books, she sees him as a cowboy, and as a brave knight challenging Mr. Dragon.
 	Home Video 	Elmo presents his home video he made about Dorothy's favorite book, Moby-Dick by Herman Melville.
