Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Olivia and Luis bring some old books over to Big Bird's nest, which he has turned into a library for the kids. They notice one bookshelf of his is crooked - one leg is shorter than the other. First, they try to even it out with some of the books being placed underneath, but then no one can read those books. Big Bird proposes utilizing a book he has on the subject, "How To Repair Bookcases That Have One Short Leg And Lean Over To The Side." Luis and Olivia instead decide to carry it over to the Fix-It Shop for repairs. Big Bird recommends they use another of his books, "Lifting Heavy Objects Safely." As the grown-ups decline, Big Bird notes, "We have a book for everybody."
