- Mrs. Lapino: Okay, class. It's time to put new leaves on our reading tree branches. Who has read a new book?
- Martha: I just a read a new book.
- Mrs. Lapino: Then you get to put one new leaf on your branch, Martha.
- Roger: I read two new books.
- Mrs. Lapino: Very good, Roger. You get two new leaves. Freddy, did you read a book? Freddy?
- [sounds of video game]
- Mrs. Lapino: Freddy?
- Mrs. Lapino: Don't you have any books at home, Freddy?
- Freddy: We have the telephone book.
- Book Fairy: I think Freddy needs a little help.
- Mrs. Lapino: And so do I.
- Freddy's Mom: There's the bell, Marge. It must be the pizza delivery bunny. Bye!
- [notices Book Fairy]
- Freddy's Mom: Holy smokes, you're not the pizza delivery bunny!
- Freddy's Dad: Freddy wants more chips. Whoa! Who are you?
- Freddy's Mom: But why would Mrs. Lapino send us a book fairy?
- Book Fairy: Because books are just what Freddy needs. And someone to read to him twenty minutes a day.
- Freddy's Dad: And what's wrong with a little Game Bunny and TV, as long as it keeps Freddy quiet?
- Book Fairy: Maybe Freddy is a little *too* quiet.
- Book Fairy: Reading in a comfy chair is just like a little vacation.
- Book Fairy: Just read to your bunny and your bunny will read to you.
- Freddy's Mom: I guess we should start reading to Freddy.
- Freddy's Dad: Hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Freddy's Dad: Freddy can't wait to get into the reading chair, and neither can we. Who needs "Thursday Night Football" when I can cheer for the Little Engine?

- Female Bunny: Hi Freddy, what does your button say?
- Freddy: 'Someone read to me today!'
