Elmo opens his door which is full of shelves of books. Unprovoked, the shelves break in unison, dumping the books on the floor. Dorothy wants to know how you read a book. Mr. Noodle sits on a book, examines the binder, and holds the book upside-down without ever successfully reading the book properly. The Kids and Elmo tell him to turn it upside-down, so he sits in a chair on his head to read. Kids read some books, one of which starts with the line "Put Down the Duckie." Elmo counts how many books will fill up the bookshelf. The Count is shown reading books in bed. Elmo's friend Michael goes to the library with his dad to get a book on dinosaurs. The Book Channel airs a program about a girl who loves books. Coming up next: "Our Miss Books" starring Book Shields. Elmo talks to two books. One is a picture book about the circus. Taking a note from the circus book, Dorothy imagines Elmo as a tightrope walker. And from other books, she sees him as a cowboy, and as a brave knight challenging Mr. Dragon. Elmo presents his home video he made about Dorothy's favorite book, Moby Dick.
