LET ME SEE.
I HAVE THE BREAD, I HAVE THE CHEESE.
OH HI READING BUDDIES, I'M WAITING FOR DOTT TO COME HOME, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, I DECIDED TO FEED THE PLANT.
THIS IS KATHY.
SHE IS A PLANT.
SAY HI, KATHY.
OH, SHE'S SO SHY.
POOR THING.
WELL, MAYBE DUSTY'S FAMOUS CHEESE SANDWICH WILL HELP HER!
THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS CHEESE!
WELL IT'S ALL CHEESE.
IT'S JUST BREAD AND CHEESE.
OKAY, HERE COMES THE CHEESE PLANE, KATHY!
RIGHT TO YOUR, HEY.
WHERE'S YOUR MOUTH?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL JUST LEAVE IT RIGHT HERE FOR YOU.
YOU CAN EAT IT WHEN YOU'RE READY.
>> Dott:HEY DUST, HEY READING BUDDIES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> WE'RE FEEDING KATHY.
SHE LOOKED HUNGRY, BUT MAYBE I WAS WRONG.
>> SHE MAY BE HUNGRY, BUT PLANTS DON'T EAT LIKE YOU OR I DO, DUSTY, THEY NEED WATER AND SUN FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
>> SHE EATS PHOTOS!?
OH MY GOSH, OKAY.
I'LL GET THE PHOTO ALBUM.
WHICH ONE?
19 YOUR WEDDING OR THE VACATION TO TULUM?
>> NO, DUSTY!
"PHOTOSYNTHESIS" IS HOW PLANTS MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD USING ONLY SUNLIGHT AND SOME WATER.
>> WHAT?
>> NOT ONLY DO THEY MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD, BUT THEY ALSO PRODUCE THE OXYGEN THAT WE ALL BREATHE!
>> WOAH, WAIT.
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE COMES FROM PLANTS?
>> YEAH, IT'S PRETTY COOL HUH?
>> YES, IT IS.
AND ALARMING.
HEY, WHAT IF WE RUN OUT OF PLANTS?
WHAT IF WE CUT DOWN TOO MANY TREES?
WHAT IF SOME DOG TRIES TO FEED A PLANT A CHEESE SANDWICH?
OH NO, WE'VE GOTTA GET THIS PLANT SOME WATER AND SUN STAT.
IT'S GETTING A LITTLE.
MUSTY IN HERE!
>> I'VE GOT SOME RIGHT HERE, DUSTY, DON'T WORRY.
THERE YOU GO, KATHY.

I ATE THAT SANDWICH DURING THE OPENING THEME SONG!
>> GOOD!
YOU'LL NEED THAT BRAIN FOOD FOR TODAY'S GAMES.
>> YEAH!
THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING HARDER AND HARDER EVERY DAY.
>> THAT'S BECAUSE YOU, AND OUR READING BUDDIES, ARE LEARNING MORE AND MORE EACH TIME YOU COME OVER!
SO TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR GROWING BRAINS, YOU NEED HARDER GAMES.
>> HM, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT!
I'D WANT IT TO GET HARDER AND HARDER, AND HAVE EVEN MORE VILLAINS.
AND THEN I'D GET COOLER POWERS TO FIGHT THE COOLER VILLAINS.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE!
YOU'RE LEARNING SO MUCH AND YOU'RE GETTING SO POWERFUL WITH YOUR LETTERS!
>> OH MY GOSH.
DOTT'S RIGHT!
WE'RE SLOWLY GETTING MORE POWERFUL!
MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
I NEED A NEW CHALLENGE!
>> GREAT!
IT'S TIME FOR OUR FIRST GAME!
I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR!
>> MUAHAHAHA!
I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR >> OKAY, READING BUDDIES, THE GAME IS "I HEAR WITH MY LITTLE EAR."
AND IN THIS GAME, WE FOCUS ON THE SOUNDS OF WORDS.

[ALPHABOTT NOISES] >> OH YOU THINK IT'S MISSING SOMETHING?
>> DOTT, YOU READ A PIRATE STORY TO ME ONCE ABOUT A CAPTAIN THAT HAD A HOOK FOR A HAND, AND HE WOULD USE HIS HOOK FOR EVERYTHING.
HE'D HOOK HIS BREAKFAST, AND STEER WITH HIS HOOK, USE HIS HOOK TO SWING ON THE MONKEY BARS.
I FORGOT WHAT HIS NAME WAS.
