When two fearful children are terrified of each other, their respective monsters try to help.

Piggie is upset because a whale took the ball she found, but Gerald finds a solution that pleases all of them.

As Zoom Squirrel and his friends try to identify the Mystery Reader, they learn about books, how they are written, and how to read--while sharing a-corny jokes.

The Pigeon must go to school, but frets about math, learning the alphabet, heavy backpacks, and what the teacher and other birds will think of him.

Gerald the elephant is certain that he cannot dance but his friend Piggie convinces him to try.
