1. Hey!Copy !req
2. Hey!Copy !req
3. Hey!Copy !req
4. Hey!Copy !req
5. Hey, D.W.Copy !req
6. Hey!Copy !req
7. Whoa!Copy !req
8. Wow, a doubledecker carrot cake!Copy !req
9. My favorite.Copy !req
10. It's time for
another weekend trip.Copy !req
11. Oh, no.Copy !req
12. I thought you'd be
excited about a trip.Copy !req
13. It's D.W.'s turn
to choose.Copy !req
14. That probably means...Copy !req
15. Ponyland.Copy !req
16. How bad could
Ponyland be?Copy !req
17. Um...Copy !req
18. My brain is melting!Copy !req
19. Suddenly I'm not hungry.Copy !req
20. We'll all have fun, I promise.Copy !req
21. It's your choice, D.W.Copy !req
22. Hmm... where do I want
us all to go?Copy !req
23. I'll think
about it.Copy !req
24. Come on, D.W.Copy !req
25. We know where
you want to go.Copy !req

40. I don't know.Copy !req
41. I just want to go camping.Copy !req
42. Good choice.Copy !req
43. I haven't been camping in years.Copy !req
44. I'm so proud
that even though
she sees PonylandCopy !req
45. on TV all the time,
D.W. chose camping.Copy !req
46. Limiting her to educational
TV channels has taught herCopy !req
47. to think for herselfCopy !req
48. and not just
parrot the TV.Copy !req
49. D.W.:
It's time
we experiencedCopy !req
50. the wonders of nature
in the great outdoors.Copy !req
51. It's time to experienceCopy !req
52. the wonders of nature
in the great outdoors.Copy !req
53. WOW!Copy !req
54. Get out to one of
our great national parksCopy !req
55. and see the wild things
in their habitat.Copy !req
56. I want to go.Copy !req
57. Let's go now!Copy !req
58. Camping is still
a good thing.Copy !req
59. I've got to buy
her more books.Copy !req
60. Kate, we'll see bears
scratching on treesCopy !req
61. and goats
that smack heads...Copy !req
62. doors are locked.Copy !req
63. We're ready to go.Copy !req
64. What's wrong,
Arthur?Copy !req
65. D.W.Copy !req
66. You make it sound
like D.W.'s difficult.Copy !req
67. D.W.
Let's go!Copy !req
68. Nature's not getting
any younger.Copy !req
69. Don't worry,
we'll do lots
of fun stuff.Copy !req
70. D.W.:
There's a doe and a deer.Copy !req
71. Aren't those eagles beautiful?Copy !req
72. And look at that penguin go.Copy !req
73. D.W., there are
no penguins in the woods.Copy !req
74. Uh-oh, it's a lost penguin.Copy !req
75. We'd better give it
a sandwich and some juice.Copy !req
76. I'll see if there's
a spare map for it.Copy !req
77. D.W.:
I don't see
any wild things yet.Copy !req
78. D.W.:
Well, I'm ready.Copy !req
79. When's something
going to happen?Copy !req
80. Look! I see a bald eagle!Copy !req
81. That's an airplane.Copy !req
82. That's an airplane.Copy !req
83. Are you readyCopy !req
84. For some fishing?Copy !req
85. Am I ever!Copy !req
86. Don't forgetCopy !req
87. The bait.Copy !req
88. When am I going to see
something wild?Copy !req
89. So...Copy !req
90. This is fishing, huh?Copy !req
91. Yup.Copy !req
92. Don't get too closeCopy !req
93. to strange animals.Copy !req
94. I know, I'm not a baby.Copy !req
95. Look! Something wild!Copy !req
96. It's just like the old
spiders we have at home.Copy !req
97. Maybe we have
the wrong bait, dad.Copy !req
98. Dad?Copy !req
99. Huh? What?Copy !req
100. I got one! Get the net!Copy !req
101. We caught a fish!Copy !req
102. Dad caught it
but I netted him.Copy !req
103. Congratulations!Copy !req
104. How was your hike?Copy !req
105. We didn't see one wild thing.Copy !req
106. The forest is
a big, dirty rip-off.Copy !req
107. Look at
that fish, mom!Copy !req
108. What?Copy !req
109. Poor little fish!Copy !req
110. Uh-oh!Copy !req
111. We gather here
to honor the fish...Copy !req
112. D.W.:
Bucky!Copy !req
113. Bucky has gone
to a better placeCopy !req
114. Than that tiny lake where
he can swim and... swim.Copy !req
115. Happy...
happy bucky.Copy !req
116. D.W.:
You're the only
wild thing I met.Copy !req
117. You were dead,
so you never met me.Copy !req
118. You would've liked me.Copy !req
119. What are we going
to eat now?Copy !req
120. Don't worry.
I brought food.Copy !req
121. D.W.:
What if I never meet
any wild animalsCopy !req
122. that you haven't already killed?Copy !req
123. D.W., please go to sleep.Copy !req
124. Something wild!Copy !req
125. Hi!Copy !req
126. D.W.:
Why did it run away?Copy !req
127. I was extremely
friendly.Copy !req
128. Deer are easily frightened.Copy !req
129. You have to keep very stillCopy !req
130. or you
scare them.Copy !req
131. Oh!Copy !req
132. Want to come canoeing?Copy !req
133. No fishing.Copy !req
134. No, I'm going to sit very stillCopy !req
135. until my deer comes back
and sees I'm friendly.Copy !req
136. Boy, if I knew it would
make D.W. be quietCopy !req
137. I would've told herCopy !req
138. there were deer
at our house.Copy !req
139. Arthur, be nice.Copy !req
140. What is she
thinking aboutCopy !req
141. sitting there
all day?Copy !req
142. D.W.:
My brother, Arthur,
isn't fun like you, Walter.Copy !req
143. Yahoo!Copy !req
144. Whee!Copy !req
145. Wow!Copy !req
146. Hold it!Copy !req
147. Where are you
taking the cereal?Copy !req
148. Walter is hungry.Copy !req
149. Slam on your brakes.Copy !req
150. Walter who?Copy !req
151. Walter deer.Copy !req
152. Walter deer?Copy !req
153. Whoa! D.W—Copy !req
154. Our food isn't good
for deer to eat.Copy !req
155. I won't feed him.Copy !req
156. I'll get him to come near me.Copy !req
157. D.W., that's not safe.Copy !req
158. You can look at the deer.Copy !req
159. If I can only lookCopy !req
160. I might as well
be watching TV.Copy !req
161. This is
the deer's home.Copy !req
162. You wouldn't like itCopy !req
163. if someone fed you
strange food in your home.Copy !req
164. I would if it was a deer.Copy !req
165. D.W.:
Coming through!Copy !req
166. If we bring Walter
home with usCopy !req
167. he can live at our house.Copy !req
168. We can't bring
a wild deer home.Copy !req
169. He can sleep
in my room.Copy !req
170. No, D.W.,
have some
breakfast.Copy !req
171. You don't want me to haveCopy !req
172. any friends who
are wild animals!Copy !req
173. You okay, honey?Copy !req
174. No!Copy !req
175. Walter's family is in the woods.Copy !req
176. Would you like itCopy !req
177. if someone took
you away from
your family?Copy !req
178. Just Arthur, or everybody?Copy !req
179. Everybody.Copy !req
180. Walter, what's wrong?Copy !req
181. I miss my mom and dadCopy !req
182. and my sisters,
Lizzie and KathyCopy !req
183. and Sheilarae
and Mary AliceCopy !req
184. and my brothers,
Dennis, Petey and PaulCopy !req
185. and my cousins...Copy !req
186. I didn't know you
had a big family.Copy !req
187. You never asked.Copy !req
188. I'm all alone.Copy !req
189. I'm the only
wild deer in town.Copy !req
190. I'm so sad.Copy !req
191. I guess I understand.Copy !req
192. But is it okay
if I'm sad?Copy !req
193. Of course!Copy !req
194. All ready.Copy !req
195. Except for D.W.Copy !req
196. He looked right at me
and he wasn't afraid.Copy !req
197. You kept your distanceCopy !req
198. and showed respect
for his home.Copy !req
199. She watched me all
weekend from the bushes.Copy !req
200. I wish she could
live with us.Copy !req
201. Those animals
never stay long.Copy !req
202. And they live in those
metal, rolling things.Copy !req
203. She'd never have been
happy out here.Copy !req
204. Yeah, I guess you're right.Copy !req
205. And now...Copy !req
206. Hi, I'm Bethany,
And this is my habitat.Copy !req
207. I'm really interested
in primates—Copy !req
208. Chimpanzees, gorillas,
marmosets, tamarins.Copy !req
209. This is Roger Williams Park Zoo.Copy !req
210. These are white-cheeked gibbons
named Gloria and LouieCopy !req
211. and Gloria had a baby
six months ago.Copy !req
212. They live in southeast Asia.Copy !req
213. This is southeast Asia.Copy !req
214. And they're very endangered.Copy !req
215. An endangered species is...Copy !req
216. It's not extinct, but it's
on the verge of becoming it.Copy !req
217. This is the
tropical America building.Copy !req
218. Behind me are
the cotton-top TamarinsCopy !req
219. found only in Colombia.Copy !req
220. This is Colombia, right here.Copy !req
221. I think each one has their
own individual personality.Copy !req
222. These are the black and white
ruffed lemurs.Copy !req
223. They're only found
on the island of Madagascar.Copy !req
224. Madagascar is here.Copy !req
225. The rain forest that used
to be unsafe is now protectedCopy !req
226. so now they're sending them
back into the wild.Copy !req
227. We have to protect primates.Copy !req
228. They were here firstCopy !req
229. and I think that it's important
for people to know about them.Copy !req
230. Humans are primates.Copy !req
231. I'm proud to be a primate.Copy !req
232. And now...Copy !req
233. A great thing about booksCopy !req
234. is that there are
all different kinds.Copy !req
235. There's fiction—
that's made-up stuff—Copy !req
236. and non-fiction—
that's real stuff.Copy !req
237. There's picture
and chapter books.Copy !req
238. There's books about history,
like this one.Copy !req
239. Whoa!Copy !req
240. History can be pretty exciting.Copy !req
241. Here's a book about the ocean.Copy !req
242. What's the matter—Copy !req
243. you raised in a barn?Copy !req
244. What are you
doing, Arthur?Copy !req
245. I can't hear you!Copy !req
246. That's better.Copy !req
247. I'm looking
at all the books.Copy !req
248. Books, who cares about books?Copy !req
249. Uh...Copy !req
250. Oh...Copy !req
251. help...Copy !req
252. Yahoo!Copy !req
253. Am I the only one
whose brain hurts?Copy !req
254. The last time I saw
this many numbersCopy !req
255. I was paying for
a broken window.Copy !req
256. Who has the answer— Buster?Copy !req
257. You better get it right.Copy !req
258. Is it... z-z-zero?Copy !req
259. Correct.Copy !req
260. I thought
I was going to die.Copy !req
261. Your book reports
are due tomorrow morning.Copy !req
262. What's your report?Copy !req
263. I'm trying to chooseCopy !req
264. between the best books
I've read.Copy !req
265. If you can't decideCopy !req
266. I read an exciting book
about magnetic fieldsCopy !req
267. that I highly recommend.Copy !req
268. No, thanks.Copy !req
269. It can't be
as good as this.Copy !req
270. What about you, Buster?Copy !req
271. It comes with six free magnets.Copy !req
272. Um, sounds great, Brain, but I
plan to do what I always do.Copy !req
273. Book reports are no sweat.Copy !req
274. "... only one thing could
have set the horses free...Copy !req
275. the creaky shadow."Copy !req
276. "Opposites attract."Copy !req
277. "This has been proven
by scientific research."Copy !req
278. Arthur, bedtime.Copy !req
279. Ten more minutes, mom.Copy !req
280. I have to finish
this book report.Copy !req
281. You look tired.Copy !req
282. I had to get
up extra earlyCopy !req
283. to finish
my book report.Copy !req
284. Didn't you?Copy !req
285. Of course,
here it is.Copy !req
286. "Pa-Creature
With the Big Face."Copy !req
287. That's great—
can I borrow it?Copy !req
288. I don't think so.Copy !req
289. I return
everythingCopy !req
290. I borrow
from you—Copy !req
291. even that gum.Copy !req
292. I can't loan it.Copy !req
293. " Pa-Kanong?Copy !req
294. Hey, I saw that
on the Giant Monster
Channel last night—Copy !req
295. big, ugly,
misunderstood...Copy !req
296. I cried.Copy !req
297. You did your
book report
about a movie?Copy !req
298. So?Copy !req
299. That's how I do
all my book reports.Copy !req
300. All movies come from books.Copy !req
301. They don't?Copy !req
302. Uh-oh.Copy !req
303. Be a book,
please be a book.Copy !req
304. Sorry, no book calledCopy !req
305. Pa-Kanong, Creature
With the Big FaceCopy !req
306. was ever published.Copy !req
307. But it was
a movie in 1957.Copy !req
308. Do you want the video?Copy !req
309. No, thank you.Copy !req
310. This is a tragedy.Copy !req
311. What will you do?Copy !req
312. My dad's a pilot.Copy !req
313. Maybe he can fly me
out of the country.Copy !req
314. No... mom's making
my favorite dinner.Copy !req
315. Ratburn will give me
an "F" for sure.Copy !req
316. Knowing Ratburn,
probably F-minus.Copy !req
317. Maybe even a "G" or an "H."Copy !req
318. I should tell
Mr. Ratburn nowCopy !req
319. so everyone doesn't
have to watch me flunk.Copy !req
320. Sure you're ready?Copy !req
321. It's a far, far
better thing I doCopy !req
322. than it would be
to cry and run home.Copy !req
323. Did you get an "F"?Copy !req
324. No, if I hand in a report
on a real book by FridayCopy !req
325. I won't get penalized.Copy !req
326. That's great!Copy !req
327. Something weird
is going on:Copy !req
328. There's still food
on Buster's plate!Copy !req
329. All you have to do is
read a book by Friday.Copy !req
330. Arthur, I have
a confession to make:Copy !req
331. I've never read a whole book
in my entire life.Copy !req
332. Sure you did.Copy !req
333. Nope.Copy !req
334. Yes, you did.Copy !req
335. No.Copy !req
336. What aboutCopy !req
337. The Scare Your
Pants Off books
we all read?Copy !req
338. I watched
the TV show.Copy !req
339. Whatever book he
reads for this reportCopy !req
340. will be his first book.Copy !req
341. He needs suggestions.Copy !req
342. How about this
molecular theorem book?Copy !req
343. It's his first book— go easy.Copy !req
344. My first book was,
Ponies Go to Paris.Copy !req
345. Ugh...Copy !req
346. I tried to read something hardCopy !req
347. and stopped reading
for a long timeCopy !req
348. because... it was hard.Copy !req
349. Molecules are small.Copy !req
350. Small things are easy.Copy !req
351. Molecules are not easy.Copy !req
352. Forget science,
Sherlock Holmes!Copy !req
353. How about
short books?Copy !req
354. Hey!Copy !req
355. Here, take the latest
Scare Your Pants Off book.Copy !req

you like it?Copy !req
359. I only got to page two.Copy !req
360. I told you,
it should be easier.Copy !req
361. That's easier.Copy !req
362. Sam and the
Sandwich Company.Copy !req
363. Read it right here.Copy !req
364. Don't move
until you're done.Copy !req
365. "The sun was shining the morning
that Sam won a tourCopy !req
366. of the Spectacular
Sandwich Factory."Copy !req
367. You lucky boy!Copy !req
368. You found the Golden
Sandwich and get to seeCopy !req
369. my sand witches and sandwiches.Copy !req
370. Yeah, well, I found
a Golden SandwichCopy !req
371. by biting it and
broke off all my teeth.Copy !req
372. But you won all the real
sandwiches you can eat.Copy !req
373. But I can't chew them.Copy !req
374. Do you have
a Soup Factory?Copy !req
375. I'm starving!Copy !req
376. Oh, I'm so hungry.Copy !req
377. Buster?Copy !req
378. At least he made it
to page three.Copy !req
379. Buster...Copy !req
380. Why did you
stop reading?Copy !req
381. I can't read it—
it makes me too hungry.Copy !req
382. It was too hard—
we need an easier book.Copy !req
383. "The Jolly Jollisters"?Copy !req
384. It's a family
that solves mysteriesCopy !req
385. and they're very happy.Copy !req
386. "The Mysterious Ink Stain."Copy !req
387. This is a mystery
that we must solve.Copy !req
388. Yes, Bud, we must.Copy !req
389. How could this ink stain
be on our couchCopy !req
390. when we Jollisters
only write with pencils?Copy !req
391. Woof... woof.Copy !req
392. Could you guys
please keep it down?Copy !req
393. I'm trying to watch TV.Copy !req
394. Oh, no, he gave up again.Copy !req
395. Even that was too hard.Copy !req
396. I know you
can read this one.Copy !req
397. Just force yourself
to keep reading.Copy !req
398. I'll try.Copy !req
399. "A car with no driver
climbed into my roomCopy !req
400. "and said, 'Let me drive you
to Afka-Phazoom.'Copy !req
401. "The Bondo-Gareemers
waved as we passedCopy !req
402. "downhill we went slow
and uphill we went fast.Copy !req
403. "Pobers and Barinkters
and a piece of the moonCopy !req
404. "asked to come along
to Afka-Phazoom.Copy !req
405. "I said, 'Let me out!
There is not enough roomCopy !req
406. and I don't care to go
to Afka-Phazoom!'"Copy !req
407. Why did we stop?Copy !req
408. Nothing happens
if no one's reading.Copy !req
409. And it was just
getting exciting.Copy !req
410. Well, I didn't
want to go anyway.Copy !req
411. He stopped reading.Copy !req
412. How can my best friendCopy !req
413. not like reading?Copy !req
414. You don't know all
you're missing by not reading.Copy !req
415. I'll just become richCopy !req
416. and pay the Brain
to do that for me.Copy !req
417. I might be too busy
discovering new planetsCopy !req
418. to read to you, Buster.Copy !req
419. Anyone can finish this book.Copy !req
420. What's that other book?Copy !req
421. Robin Hood.Copy !req

I couldn't stop.Copy !req
434. You read that much?Copy !req
435. Hey, you can't be
a faster reader than I am.Copy !req
436. I guess the problem wasCopy !req
437. I just wasn't reading
anything I liked.Copy !req
438. I mean, Blue— come on!Copy !req
439. Is it okay that my report
has a cliffhanger ending?Copy !req
440. Next time, start early
