Book

"B! That's me!"

**Book** is the eighteenth Season 3 episode of Alphablocks.

## Synopsis

OO and friends discover a talking book, some missing words and a pile of letters - can they put the story of Little Red Riding Hood back together?

## Plot

It's night-time, but B has trouble falling asleep and wishes to hear a bedtime story. O and K come to help. O doubles himself up.

b-oo-k, BOOK!

A huge book appears. When OO opens it, some letters fall out. B and K can use the letters to change into another Alphablock. The book, which talks, automatically turns to the first page, where it introduces a girl named "Little Red Riding \_\_\_\_". The last word of every page has gone missing, and it's up to the Alphablocks to put them back!

b-oo-d, BOOD!

It doesn't work. B changed into H.

The book reminds them that "wood" might be better, but the Alphablocks decide to write their own version. On the next page, a sort of animal jumps out from behind a tree.

w-oo-f, WOOF!

It's supposed to be a wolf, but it turns out to be a dog, which the book calls a "woof", who is very big and very...

g-oo-d, GOOD!

So the Big Good Woof keeps Little Red Riding Hood safe as they walk to her grandmother's...

b-oo-t, BOOT!

Inside Little Red's Grandma's boot-shaped house, the Woof is very hungry, so he becomes a...

c-oo-k, COOK!

The Big Good Woof cooks up lots of delicious...

f-oo-d, FOOD!

The three of them eat together as the story ends. Then the book sees B, OO, and K snoozing.
