A Blooming Good Morning
LOGLINE: Mama gives Kitty morning glory seeds to plant so she has an incentive to wake up early in the morning.
     When Kitty has trouble getting out of bed in the mornings, Mama gives her "medicine" to turn her into an early riser. Mama gives her morning glory seeds to plant explaining that the flowers only bloom in the early morning so she will have to get up on time in order to see them. That is the "medicine".
     The plan works almost too well when Kitty keeps waking up too early to check on and tend to the plant. After the plant blooms, Kitty wants to plant more seeds but Mama tells her she will have to wait until next year since the morning glory only lasts during the Springtime.
     The following morning, Kitty is back to her old habits and sleeps in. When Mama asks her what she dreams about, Kitty says flowers!

A Storybook Adventure
LOGLINE: Kitty and Mimi use their imagination to have an adventure inside Mimi's book.
     A bored Kitty asks Mimi about the book she is reading. When Mimi tells her that it is an adventure about a woman who lives in the woods, Kitty wishes they could climb on a magic balloon and fly into Mimi's exciting book. Mimi tells her that they can, if they use their imagination.
     Once the girls imagine themselves into the book, they find themselves in a variety of scary situations (in the dark, in the middle of a road, in the middle of a river) until they imagine a hero who takes them to Mimi's book. He grants their wish and the girls find themselves in the middle of a snowstorm in front of a strange house. A kindly old woman invites them in from the cold and takes care of them. When the girls overhear the old woman cackling about making them her prisoners, they try to escape. While being chased by the witch, the girls imagine the hero again but the witch turns him into a statue.
     The girls then imagine a snowman to "chill out" the witch.
     Tired out, the girls decide they have had enough adventure for one day and they go home.

Kitty's Clean Cuisine

Mimi goes upstairs to clean up while Kitty decides to stay dirty because she is hungry now and she will have to wash again after dinner anyway.
     When Mama sees Kitty, she scolds her for still being dirty. Kitty washes up but grumbles that she doesn't understand why it's such a big deal. Mama and Papa explain that hands pick up germs and bacteria that could get on on your food and cause things like head colds and stomach flu.
     Kitty then demands a huge portion of chicken curry because it is her favorite. She gobbles it up and winds up with a stomachache. Her parents explain that it's better to pace yourself with a small portion and get seconds if you're still hungry so you don't get a stomachache or waste food.
     Kitty is sad because she is too full for desert. A Kitty first! Mama says that there is no desert anyway - she left apple tarts to cool on the windowsill that morning and they disappeared. It turns out that the girls ate them so Kitty wound up with her desert after all.

     The girls decide which stores they would like to own when they grow up: Kitty wants to own a book store so she can read every book in the world and Mimi wants to own a flower store so she can always have flowers around her. When Papa takes them to the Post Office, the girls call it the mail store. Kitty thinks it is funny when dogs chase the postman but Papa tells her to respect postal carriers because they have a really hard job - to deliver mail in rain or snow and carry big heavy bags from house to house.

     Once they get to Moley's, he shows them everything they want to know about living underground. He explains how he can move around in the dark and how the tunnels connect so there is always fresh air flowing through. He also tells them about the other animals that live underground year round (like prairie dogs, gophers, groundhogs) and animals that burrow underground in the winter (snakes, bears).

     When the bird starts to get better. Kitty and Mimi argue about what to name the bird. They are even more upset when Papa tells them that they will have to set the bird free when it is healed. He explains that wild birds weren't meant to live in cages and that the bird has a family of its own to return to. After they set the bird free, the bird returns with her twin sister. Kitty and Mimi are excited because they are twin sisters too! Kitty and Mimi get into another argument about what to name each sister.

     Once seated, Kitty's family is astonished by her lack of table manners. She wolfs down the croquettes, claiming she could eat a hundred of them. Also, food is dropping on the floor. Kitty defends herself saying that the food keeps jumping away when she jabs at it with the fork. Mimi explains that the food wouldn't jump off the plate if Kitty used her fork properly.
     Mimi gives her a lesson on etiquette: point the fork upward and keep it away from your face except when you're eating, sit squarely in your chair, put the fork on the food very gently. Mama adds that good table manners show respect for those around you and learning to eat properly is the first step to good manners. Mimi expands - when you have good manners, it makes people feel comfortable and show you care. Kitty worries that there is so much to learn, it will be overwhelming. Kitty's first question about etiquette is about the proper way to ask for seconds.

Unexpected thing can also happen on the sidewalk when there are bicycles and distracted pedestrians.

     They open the box and see worn out old sacks that don't even have bottoms. Kitty is disappointed. She complains that they can't even hold a piece of candy and demonstrates. She is surpirsed when the candy multiplies when it comes out the other side. They experiment by putting candy in the different bags: one changes the candy's shape, one makes the candy huge. Kitty is excited -- the magic bags are going to be a hit at her friend's birthday party.
     On their way home, they meet Mr. Racoon who tells the girls he has been searching for the magic bags for a very long time. He shows them his weird looking house - once the pride of Magic Land.

     Mimi is scared and wants to do Spring Cleaning right away - open all the windows in the house and scrub the dust out of the corners - so the dust monster won't come. Kitty tells her there's no such thing as a dust monster and the only way to prove it is to see what happens if they don't clean today.
     That night, the girls get a visit from the dust monster. After the monster scares Mimi, Kitty yells at it.

He tells them it would be easier if one member of the family bought tickets for all four of them as opposed to having all four family members wait in line.
     On the steps on the way to the train, the girls learn not to walk up the middle of the stairs leading to the trains. There is a side for going up and a side for going down.

     Kitty wants to make cookies but Mimi worries that they don't have a recipe. Kitty says they can just make one up. They throw random ingredients into a bowl and hope for the best. Kitty makes some crazy shaped cookies with her hands. The Baker returns and is horrified when he sees what the girls are doing. While the cookies are baking, the girls take a little nap. The Baker takes their cookies out of the oven and tastes one. It's awful. The girls are alarmed when they wake up and find that their cookies have disappeared. Kitty wants to call the police. The Baker calms them down and gives them a lesson in good baking.
     The Baker teaches them several things: 1) always stay awake when there is something baking in the oven; 2) you can't just pour a bunch of random ingredients together and hope for the best - you have to use just the right amounts of the right ingredients; 3) you can shape cookie dough using a cookie cutter (not your hands); 4) most importantly, never use an oven without an adult!

After a while, the girls get overwhelmed thinking about all the different shapes there are in the world.

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine Lives
LOGLINE: Kitty and Mimi use their imagination and go into their broken alarm clock.
     Mimi wakes up and is upset that she missed the meteor shower. She realizes that the alarm clock has stopped. Kitty and Mimi wonder about what's inside a clock. They hop into their magic balloon and find themselves at a clock tower in a village.
     The huge clock in the tower has stopped, and everyone in the town is frozen in mid-action. Just before the girls can panic, they meet Billy, an old goat, whose job it is to fix the clock if it ever stops. He's never had to, so he's worried as the girls rush him to the tower. They find that the basket of the balloon was lodged in the gears, but now is free. The clock, however, is still not working. When the ever-sleepy Kitty lies down on a lever, it trips the clock into motion, and the town springs back to life. Everyone's happy, and the girls ride their balloon back home.

At dinner, we now see that they did hurt their feet, and they get into a discussion about when something's big and when something's small. It's hard for Mom and Dad to explain that everything's relative to everything else, and they do so by asking them to define their own images of items they've read about in books. The girls see that everyone looks at things differently. They then want to know if there's any real rule about when something's big or small, but learn that it's all so subjective. They do agree on one thing: dessert's always too small.

A Puzzling Day
LOGLINE: With Moley's help, Kitty and Mimi solve the mystery about what Mama needs at the grocery store.
     Mimi and Kitty are bored with the jigsaw puzzle that they have put together so many times, so they use their imaginations to find a more challenging puzzle.

Then, their friend Moley shows up and leads them through a series of four clues: they need to find something at the store that is square, white and melts. However, before she hears the last clue, Kitty rushes to the store, thinking that the solution to the puzzle is ice cream. Mimi does hear the last clue--that the item also makes bubbles and smells good, and realizes that what Mama really needs is soap.
     They go down the kitchen and tell Mama all about the imaginary game they were playing upstairs.

A Fair Share
LOGLINE: Mama explains how to divide portions equally so everyone gets their fair share.
     The girls look around the house for Mama so they can ask her if it is all right to go to the park and play. Kitty searches in the kitchen and is tempted by the last chocolate donut: should she eat it or share it with Mimi?
     After deciding to share the donut, Kitty is upset when Mimi breaks the donut unevenly. Mimi says she'll take the smaller part but Kitty insists they get equal portions and re-divides the donut, mashing it into a mess of crumbs.
     Mimi notes that Mama always manages to divide everything without any trouble. When Mama comes home and looks at the mess of crumbs, she demands an explanation. After Mama hears the story, Mama is proud of Kitty for sharing with her sister and offers the girls more donuts.
     Kitty is upset because she doesn't want to be rewarded for making a mess, but Mama tells her that the donut fell apart because she left it in the oven too long.
     Kitty asks Mama if she ever has hard time dividing portions equally, and Mama tells Kitty and Mimi that it isn't as difficult as it seems. She reminds the girls that they always manage to divide the Halloween candy between themselves. If there are an odd number of pieces, Mama says to cut the extra one in half. Kitty asks Mama about splitting things with an odd number of people. Mama shows them how by pouring them orange juice, and runs out of juice in the process.

Can You Count Them?
LOGLINE: Papa shows Kitty and Mimi a system for counting beads or other objects.
     Mimi asks Kitty what she is looking for as she frantically searches the house. Kitty replies that she is looking for the thingamajigs that they were playing with the other day - she has forgotten what they care called. Mimi asks her if she means beads. Kitty says yes and that she is embarrassed by forgetting such a simple word. Mimi shows her where the beads are and they start counting them. They keep getting confused and losing count. They ask Papa for help.
     He tells the girls that is is easy to count beads if you turn it into a number game. The girls don't think counting can be a game - math isn't a game, it's work. Papa reminds them that they love doing puzzle games. He teaches the girls to divide the beads into groups of five and set them aside. It will be easier to keep track of the beads that way.
     While the girls go play number games with the beads, Papa uses his counting skills to help Mama make strawberry jelly in the kitchen. She needs someone to count the berries for her recipe. Papa keeps loosing count of the berries and asks the girls to help since they are now the counting experts.

     Kitty and Mimi are reading a fairy tale, and even though they like it, there's something lacking. Everything's too perfect, and when they think about all their other stories, they all seem the same. Upon asking Papa about this, they learn that most stories of this type are very similar. He suggests that they write and draw one of their own if they want something different.
     They write a story where Princess Mimi has eaten all the apples from a tree they share with their neighbor the Dragon. The Dragon doesn't believe she could have eaten them all and holds her up in the air, slobbering on her until she tells him where the rest of the apples are. The apples are all gone; Mimi really has eaten them. The girls take the story to Mama and Papa who are amused and perplexed. Unable to find a Prince to help, Kitty tickles the Dragon herself, causing it to fall on her. Mimi pulls her out, and they all live more or less happily ever after. Mama is happy and Papa congratulates them on their originality. Mimi asks for an apple.

A Nice Little Walk In The City
LOGLINE: Papa teaches Kitty and Mimi about traffic signs.
     Kitty and Mimi are out for a walk in the city with Papa. They ask about what some signs mean, and he explains them. They're very interested in the traffic signs, and Papa reminds them that they should also be paying attention to the signs for the motorists. He counsels them on the basics of moving deliberately, being aware of the actions of others and making their own actions obvious.
     To help them understand the basics of the signs, he reminds them that red means "no" or "don't", and that yellow is for caution. As they learn more and more, the girls worry that there's so much that they'll never learn them all. Papa soothes them on this, reminding them that it takes time, and it helps that they are all designed to follow some obvious patterns. Learning these and also following the basics of being aware and cautious will keep them safe. They're happy at this, and especially when they learn that Papa sees new ones occasionally himself, but it doesn't faze him. Pleased with all this, they decide to go home. When asked by Papa what her favorite sign is, Mimi replies: "Ice Cream".
