Journey to the Center of the Earth transcript

(The scene goes to the library. The camera points to the bookshelf, where Whyatt appears from behind a red book).

Whyatt: Hi! I'm so glad you're here! It's me, Whyatt!

(A secret door shows up behind Whyatt. Whyatt enters the door and joins puppy and Hayzel).

Puppy: Bark!

Hayzel: Hi Whyatt!

Whyatt: Hi Hayzel, hi puppy!

Whyatt: Welcome to Storybrook Village!

Hayzel: Where all our fairytale friends live.

(Whyatt looks at his beeping super duper computer).

Whyatt: Red's getting ready to leave her grandma's house.

Hayzel: Let's see what she's up to.

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy rush past Princess Pea's castle. They pause to watch puppy stand up).

Whyatt: Puppy, are you standing up?

(Puppy wags his tail and falls to the ground. Hayzel pets him).

Hayzel: Good boy!

(The three friends arrive at Red's grandma's house).

(Red holds her basket as she faces her grandma).

Red: Grandma, I have to go home now.

Grandma: Goodbye, dear. Be careful going home.

Red: I will, Grandma.

(Red skates toward Whyatt, puppy, and Hayzel as her grandma returns inside).

Whyatt: Hi, Red.

Red: Hi, everybody.

Hayzel: Where are you going?

Red: I'm going home, Hayzel.

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy follow Red into the woods).

Hayzel: Where do you live?

Red: I live within the other end of the forest.

Hayzel: Stay safe, Red Riding Hood.

Red: Thank you, Hayzel.

(Red skates farther into the woods and sees three clusters of trees).

Red: This is my first time going straight home from Grandma's in a while. Which cluster of trees should I skate through?

Red: I'll just skate into the left cluster.

(Red skates into the left cluster of trees. She skates into the next left cluster, yet stops at one of the trees).

Red: I don't see the bridge anywhere. I don't see my house either. Double drats!

(Red turns around and skates back to Whyatt and Hayzel out of the two left clusters).

Red: Whyatt, Hayzel, I don't know what path to take from here. I'm lost and want to be home before dark. What am I going to do?

(Red sits down on the grass with her basket by her side).

Whyatt: This sounds like a super big problem.

Hayzel: And a super big problem needs us, the Super Readers.

(Whyatt takes out his super duper computer).

Whyatt: Call them with us.

Hayzel: Say "calling all Super Readers".

(Young kids say "calling all super readers").

Whyatt: To the book club!

(Young kids say "to the book club!")

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy run to the book club).

Whyatt: Come on!

Hayzel: To the book club!

(Whyatt, Hayzel, and puppy arrive at the book club!)

Whyatt: Whyatt here!

(Hayzel enters).

Hayzel: Hayzel's here to say hi!

(Pig enters).

Pig: P is for Pig!

(Red skates in).

Red: Red Riding Hood rolling in!

(Princess Pea enters).

Princess Pea: Princess Pea at your service!

(Puppy enters).

Puppy: Bark!

Whyatt: And say your name?

(Pause for the answer).

Whyatt: Great, we're all here! Together, we can fix Red's problem.

(Everybody enters the book club and takes their personal chairs. Whyatt enters his super duper computer into the database and the information is loaded. Red takes the stand).

Whyatt: Okay, Red. State your problem.

Red: I can't find my way home from Grandma's house.

Pig: Oh no!

Princess Pea: Oh my peas!

Red: How do I find my way home when I'm lost?

Whyatt: Good question, Red.

Hayzel: When we have a question, we look...

All: In a book!

Pig: Which book should we look in?

(Princess Pea walks over to the bookshelf).

Princess Pea: Peas and carrots, carrots and peas, book come out, please, please, please.

(A book titled "Journey to the Center of the Earth" falls out of the bookshelf).

Hayzel: Let's read the title of this book.

Whyatt: (Reading the title of the book) Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Whyatt: We know what to do!

Hayzel: We need to jump into this book...

Whyatt: And find the answer to our question.

Whyatt: First, we look for super letters.

Hayzel: Then we enter them into our super duper computer.

Whyatt: Super duper computer, how many super letters do we need?

(The message \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ appears on the screen).

Whyatt: In this story, we need seven super letters.

Hayzel: Then we can get our super story answer.

(The transformation sequence starts).

Whyatt: It's time to transform.

Hayzel: Ready?

All: Ready.

Whyatt: Arms in,

Hayzel: Put your arms in.

(The five super readers put their arms out).

Whyatt: Super Readers...

All: To the rescue!

(Pig transforms into Alpha Pig).

Alpha Pig: Alpha Pig with alphabet power!

(Red transforms into Wonder Red).

Wonder Red: Wonder Red with word power!

(Princess Pea transforms into Princess Presto).

Princess Presto: Princess Presto with spelling power!

(Hayzel transforms into HayBrite).

HayBrite: HayBrite with grammar power!

(Whyatt transforms into Super Why).

Super Why: Super Why with the power to read!

(Puppy transforms into Woofster).

Woofster: Woofster with dictionary power!

Super Why: And Super You with the power to help!

(The Super Readers stand together in the book club).

Super Why: Together,

HayBrite: We are,

All: The Super Readers!

Super Why: Why flyers!

(The team hops into their why flyers).

HayBrite: Let's fly into this book!

(The Super Readers fly into *Journey to the Center of the Earth*).

Singer: ***Super Readers to the rescue, it's time to fly with the Super Readers, 'cause we've got a problem to solve, Super Readers to the rescue, Super Readers working together with the power to read into books we fly to find the super story answer in Super Why, Super Readers to the rescue*.**

Princess Presto: Presto! We're in the *Journey to the Center of the Earth* book!

Super Why: Let's read, why-writer, highlight!

(The why-writer shines a light on the story sequence).

Super Why: Read with me!

Super Why: (reading the first story sentence) Professor Otto Lidenbrock wants to see the Earth's core.

(Professor Lidenbrock imagines the center of the Earth).

Super Why: (reading the second story sentence) Professor Lidenbrock, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans constantly digged holes to reach the center of the Earth.

(Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans dig).

Super Why: (reading the third story sentence) But none of them can find the core anywhere.

Professor Lidenbrock: Where is the core?

Axel: I don't know.

Hans: I guess we're lost.

Super Why: Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans can't find the center of the Earth.

Wonder Red: And I can't find my home.

Super Why: And that, Super Readers, is why we are in this book.

HayBrite: Both Red and Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans are lost on their journeys.

Alpha Pig: Let's see how Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans find their path.

Wonder Red: Let's roll to the giant hole.

(The Super Readers head to the giant hole near the volcanoes).

Alpha Pig: Wow! This hole is deep!

Princess Presto: We need to meet Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans down in that hole.

Woofster: But how do we get down?

Alpha Pig: Alpha Pig to the rescue!

Alpha Pig: With my amazing alphabet tools, I can build a word that can bring us to Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans deep down this hole.

Alpha Pig: A B C, sing with me.

Alpha Pig:  ***A B C D E F G, H I J K L M N O P, Q R S, and T U V, W X Y and Z, sing with me*.**

Alpha Pig: Faster!

Alpha Pig: (speeds up) ***A B C D E F G, H I J K L M N O P, Q R S, and T U V, W X Y and Z, sing with me***.

Alpha Pig: Super! Amazing alphabet singing!

Alpha Pig: First, we need the letter 'L'.

Alpha Pig: Where's 'L'?

(The L is between the D and R. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'L'.

Alpha Pig: Now where's the letter 'A'?

(The A is between the E and D. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'A'.

(The L and A join together to make the first part of the two rods).

Alpha Pig: Do you see the letter 'D' anywhere?

(The D is between the E and R. Young kids answer "yes, it's there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'D'.

Alpha Pig: Now we need another 'D'. Where is it?

(The second D is next to the R. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the second 'D'.

(The two D's join the L and A to build the second third of the two rods).

Alpha Pig: Super! Now we need an 'E'. Where is it?

(The E is on the left of the R. Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's an 'E'.

Alpha Pig: Finally, where's the 'R'?

(Young kids answer "there!").

Alpha Pig: There's the 'R'.

(The E and R join the L, A, D, and D to complete the two rods.)

Alpha Pig: L...A...D...D...E...R. Ladder.

(The ladder receives rails and extends as it drops into the hole.)

Wonder Red: We can go down the hole now!

Alpha Pig: Lickety letters, we built a ladder to get ourselves down to the three men).

Alpha Pig: Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up.

(Alpha Pig gives a thumbs up).

Super Why: Let's go down this ladder.

HayBrite: Come on!

(The Super Readers climb down the ladder to the surface where Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans were all sitting).

HayBrite: Hi Professor Lidenbrock, hi Axel, hi Hans.

Professor Lidenbrock: Finally, we have helpers.

Wonder Red: We're the Super Readers.

Axel: Nice to meet you, Super Readers. We're Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans.

Alpha Pig: I know all your names.

Hans: We want to step onto this huge boulder in front of us and use our tools to break a hole into it.

Princess Presto: What's a boulder?

Woofster: Woofster to the rescue!

Woofster: With my doggy dictionary, I can find the definition for boulder, (he finds the word *boulder*) here it is: boulder: a huge rock.

Alpha Pig: Oh, so now we know that a boulder is a giant rock.

Professor Lidenbrock: Let's go!

(Professor Lidenbrock hops onto the boulder and uses his ax to break a large hole into it. As it happens, the super letters M and P come out).

Super Why: You see super letters?

HayBrite: What letters do you see?

(Young kids answer "U", "A", "M", and "P").

HayBrite: U, A, M, and P.

Super Why: Let's enter them into our super duper computer.

(Super Why enters M and P into the super duper computer, the screen reading U\_ \_ A M\_P).

Super Why: Three more super letters.

HayBrite: And we'll get our super story answer!

(Axel and Hans join Professor Lidenbrock in breaking a giant hole in the boulder).

Axel: Finally, we have completed the hole.

Hans: Now what?

Professor Lidenbrock: (looks down below him) We opened up a new path deeper into the Earth, but how will we get down there without getting hurt?

HayBrite: I don't know.

Wonder Red: What will we do now?

Princess Presto: Cue the music, cue the sparkles, Princess Presto to the rescue!

Princess Presto: With my magic spelling wand, I can safely bring the trio deeper into the Earth.

Princess Presto: Wands up, spell with me!

Princess Presto: What letter makes the sound "cuh"?

(Young kids answer "c").

Princess Presto: Write a lowercase c with me.

(Princess Presto writes the letter c with her wand).

Princess Presto: Cool c!

(The c allows Professor Lidenbrock to step down onto the nearest rocky platform while holding on to the remains of the boulder).

Princess Presto: Now what letter makes the sound "lll"?

(Young kids answer "l").

Princess Presto: L, write a lowercase l with me.

(Princess Presto writes the letter l with her wand).

(The l joins the C and allows Hans to fall to the nearest rocky platform).

Princess Presto: Now what letter makes the sound "ih"?

(Young kids answer "I").

Princess Presto: I, let's write a lowercase i.

(Princess Presto writes the letter i with her wand).

(The i joins the C and l, allowing Axel to take one step down).

Princess Presto: The next letter makes the sound "mm". What is it?

(Young kids answer "m").

Princess Presto: Let's write a little m together.

(Princess Presto writes the letter m with her wand).

(The m joins the c, l, and i, allowing Professor Lidenbrock to take a second step down).

Princess Presto: The last letter we need is b, we can't hear it, but it's there.

(Princess Presto writes the letter b with her wand).

(The b joins the c, l, i, and m, bringing both Axel and Hans one more step down).

(Princess Presto waves her wand, allowing Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans to climb down to the next flat surface).

Princess Presto: C...l...i...m...b. Climb. Presto!

(Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans reach the surface).

Princess Presto: Spectacular spelling! We spelled the word climb to help Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans reach the next surface.

Princess Presto: Let's take a bow!

(Princess Presto takes a bow).

(The Super Readers climb down the boulder to meet Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans at the surface).

Woofster: Whew! We made it!

Princess Presto: That was tiring!

Hans: I need water!

Professor Lidenbrock: I have water bottles in my backpack.

Hans: Can I please have it?

Professor Lidenbrock: You all deserve some water.

(Professor Lidenbrock gives water bottles to the Super Readers, Axel, and Hans).

HayBrite: Thank you, Professor Lidenbrock.

Alpha Pig: We really did need water?

Professor Lidenbrock: You're welcome!

(Professor Lidenbrock gets himself a water bottle. The entire crew finish drinking their water bottles).

Wonder Red: We're ready to roll again!

Hans: There are a few more boulders leading deeper into the Earth.

Super Why: Super! Let's go!

(The Super Readers follow Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans deeper into the Earth).

(The Super Readers, Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans reach a chest).

Axel: We found a treasure chest!

Alpha Pig: Cool!

Wonder Red: Are you going to find out what's in it?

Professor Lidenbrock: We can't, it's in our story, it says "The trio reached the treasure chest and ignored it".

Princess Presto: Holy peapods! There are many paths open around us.

Wonder Red: How will you guys know what path to take?

HayBrite: HayBrite to the rescue!

HayBrite: This sentence doesn't look right, but with my grammar paintbrush, I can fix it.

HayBrite: What's missing in this sentence?

(Young kids answer "a closing mark").

HayBrite: Right, we need punctuation to complete this sentence.

(HayBrite, with her paintbrush, paints ., ?, and !).

HayBrite: Which mark should we use?

(Young kids answer "that one"!)

HayBrite: What is the word used for that mark?

(Young kids answer "question mark").

HayBrite: Let's see what happens when we add a question mark to the end of this sentence.

(HayBrite paints ? at the end of the sentence).

Professor Lidenbrock: We certainly left the treasure chest closed.

Axel: We don't have any questions we need to answer at the moment.

Hans: Nobody's questioning the closed treasure chest, either.

HayBrite: Will a question mark properly close this sentence?

(Young kids answer "no".)

HayBrite: Let's use another punctuation mark. Which mark would best close our sentence?

(Young kids answer "that one"!)

HayBrite: What is the word used for that mark?

(Young kids answer "period").

HayBrite: Let's add a period to the end of this sentence.

(HayBrite crosses off the ? and paints . at the end of the sentence).

Professor Lidenbrock: It's true.

Hans: Our chest is definitely shut!

Axel: Our sentence is now complete!

HayBrite: Haysome, kids! We closed the sentence with a period!

Woofster: I wonder what's inside the treasure chest.

Princess Presto: Me too.

Hans: I am as excited as you all are to find out what's in this chest.

Wonder Red: When will you show us the surprise?

Professor Lidenbrock: We still can't, even when our sentence is complete. It still says "The trio reached the treasure chest and ignored it."

HayBrite: What will happen next?

Super Why: Super Why to the rescue!

(Super Why flies to the closed treasure chest).

Super Why: With the power to read, I can change the story and save the day.

(Super Why flies right over to the sentence).

Super Why: Let's change the word ignored in the sentence, ready? set? zap!

(Super Why used the why-writer to zap the word ignored).

Super Why: Why-writer, write!

(The words *abandoned*, *opened*, and *isolated* appear on the screen).

Super Why: Which word will allow the secret inside the chest to be revealed? Abandoned? Opened? Or isolated?

Super Why: Will abandoning the treasure chest reveal the hidden surprise?

(Young kids answer "no").

Super Why: No, that won't work.

Super Why: Well about opened? Wil opening the treasure chest reveal the surprise?

(Young kids answer yes!")

Super Why: Yes let's use the word opened.

(Super Why zaps the word *opened* and flies over to the sentence).

Super Why: Zap!

(Super Why replaces the word *ignored* with the word *opened*).

Super Why: Let's read!

Super Why: (reading the fourth sentence) The trio reached the treasure chest and opened it.

Hans: (joins Professor Lidenbrock and Axel by the treasure chest) We can finally open this chest.

Professor Lidenbrock: Let's do it.

(Hans, Axel, and Professor Lidenbrock open the treasure chest).

Axel: Let's look inside.

(Professor Lidenbrock removes a roll of paper from the chest).

Professor Lidenbrock: We found some paper!

Super Why: Yes! Super job, Super Readers! We changed the story, and the three men we able to find out what's in the treasure chest.

Wonder Red: Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, Hans, what's that roll of paper?

Professor Lidenbrock: I don't know.

Axel: We have to unroll it to find out.

(Professor Lidenbrock unrolls the paper, allowing the super letters S, E, and A to come out).

Super Why: You found our last super letters?

HayBrite: What letter did you find?

(Young kids answer "S", "E", and "A"!)

HayBrite: S, E, and A.

Super Why: Let's put it into our super duper computer.

(Super Why enters the S, E, and A into the super duper computer, reading USE A MAP).

Super Why: We found all of our super letters.

HayBrite: Now we can get our super story answer.

(Professor Lidenbrock looks down at the paper).

Professor Lidenbrock: I found a map.

Hans: Can I please see it?

Axel: Can I?

Professor Lidenbrock: Of course, you can.

(Hans and Axel join Professor Lidenbrock as they analyze the map. They then show it off to the Super Readers).

Professor Lidenbrock: We need to climb down the rocks in the pathway next to the treasure chest and then take the left pathway. We will then find the center of the Earth.

Alpha Pig: Wow!

Super Why: Let's go!

(The Super Readers follow the three men into the doorway next to the treasure chest and climb down the rocks until they reach the next flat surface).

Princess Presto: We're so deep in the Earth now.

HayBrite: I know.

Hans: Now let's take the pathway to the left.

(The Super Readers follow Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans down the left pathway of rocks until they reach the center of the Earth).

Professor Lidenbrock: I see something.

Alpha Pig: What?

(Professor Lidenbrock points to the orange core below them.)

Hans: We reached the center of the Earth.

Wonder Red: Wonderiffic! We made it!

(Professor Lidenbrock takes a picture of the center of the Earth).

Axel: Now that we saw the center of the Earth, let's climb back up to the top.

Woofster: Let's go!

(The Super Readers follow the trio of men as they climb out of the giant hole and back to level ground).

Axel: That was fun.

Super Why: It sure was.

Wonder Red: But we have to go now.

Super Readers: Goodbye Professor Lidenbrock, goodbye Axel, goodbye Hans.

Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans: Goodbye, Super Readers.

(The Super Readers leave the giant hole).

Super Why: Why flyers!

(The why flyers fly over to the Super Readers).

HayBrite: Back to the book club!

(The Super Readers hop into their why flyers and head back to the book club).

Singer: ***We found the super story answer with Super Why*.**

(The Super Readers all change back into their normal forms and arrive at the book club. They head back to the super duper computer. Whyatt enters his super duper computer into the database and information is uploaded into it).

Hayzel: Super duper computer, give us our super story answer.

(The super duper computer processes the answer).

Whyatt: Read the letters with us.

Hayzel: U

Whyatt: S

Hayzel: E

Whyatt: A

Hayzel: M

Whyatt: A

Hayzel: P

Hayzel: Our super story answer is use a map.

(Fireworks exploding).

Whyatt: But why?

Pig: Because when Professor Lidenbrock, Axel, and Hans found the map inside the treasure chest, they used it to reach the center of the Earth.

Red: So my question is "how do I find my way home when I'm lost?"

Whyatt: And the answer is-

All: Use A Map.

Red: Maybe I can find a map and use it to guide me home. Come on!

(Red skates back into the woods, where she left off).

Red: It's too late to ask Grandma for a map now, but I can use the map on my phone.

(Red takes her phone out of her basket and turns it on to display the map of her area).

Red: So from here, I just have to skate straight through the woods, skate over the bridge, and then I'm home.

Red: Let's roll!

(Red puts her phone away and skates straight through the woods without taking any turns).

Red: I made it through this side of the woods. Let's skate over the bridge to reach the other side of the woods.

(Red skates over the bridge).

Red: We made it over the bridge, but I still have more miles to skate until I reach my house.

Red: Let's look back at my map.

(Red turns on her phone to activate her map).

Red: All I have to do is skate straight into the woods until I see my house.

(Red puts away her phone and skates into the other side of the woods. She stops by Wolfy, who was eating apples).

Red: Bye Wolfy!

Wolfy: Red, are you going home?

Red: I am.

Wolfy: Okay Red, see you soon.

(Wolfy waves).

(Red skates farther into the woods until she's a few miles away from her house).

Red: There's my home! I'm almost there.

(Red skates toward her house and goes inside).

Red: (from inside her house) Mom, I'm home.

Whyatt: Hip hip hooray!

Hayzel: The super readers saved the day!

Singer: ***Hip hip hooray (hooray!), the Super Readers saved the day, We changed the story, We solved the problem, We worked together so hip hip hooray!, Hip hip hooray, the Super Readers saved the day, hip hip hooray, the Super Readers saved the DAY!***
