LeapFrog: Let's Go to School

[first lines]

Lily:
Oh, Tad, I'm so excited.

Tad:
Not as excited as I am, Lily!

[Both giggle. Leap enters the treehouse with both arms full of school supplies]

Leap:
The big day has finally arrived, little sibs. Tomorrow is your first day of school. I bet you can hardly wait.

Tad:
I think I'm a little nervous. I'm getting a tummyache. I don't know my letters yet.

Lily:
What if school's not any fun?

Tad:
What if... [whispering] what if we have to go the bathroom?

Tad, Lily:
I don't think I'm ready for school. Me either.

Tad:
I'm nervous that I won't know what to do.

Clock:
In school, we all take turns speaking. So if you want to share your thoughts and ideas, raising your hand will tell the teacher that you have something to say.

[Both Leap and Lily raise their hands. Tad waves his eagerly]

Clock:
Ah, much better. Now we'll have no trouble hearing one another.

Tad:
[jumping back and forth] Ooh, ooh, can I go first? Me, me, me! [He folds his hands] Pretty please?

Clock:
Quiet little girl, your question.

[Tad lowers his hand and droops]

[last lines]

Lily:
Mom and Dad are going to be so proud of us.

[She and Tad giggle]

Leap:
[sounding sleepy] Tad? Lily? [yawns] Why are you up so early? School doesn't start for another two hours.

Lily:
Oh, we know.

Tad:
We just don't want to be late for our first day of school.

Lily, Tad:
[leaping into the air excitedly] It's going to be awesome!
