01:21Welcome to Cookie Monster's bake sale.
01:24Yeah!
01:25This is the show where our friends will compete to make something sweet.
01:29To sell in a bake sale to raise money for something they need.
01:31Cookie Monster, do you love books?
01:33Oh!
01:34Me love books.
01:35I love books too.
01:36Yeah!
01:37And that's why today we are helping a local library raise money for books, graphic novels, tablets and more.
01:42These amazing librarians and kids know that reading is always an adventure.
01:46Yeah!
01:48There's no better way to celebrate going back to school than doing something for a local library.
01:53Because a library is a place that the kids go and they read and they learn.
01:56We got to do it.
01:57What are we waiting for?
01:58Let's go do it now.
01:59Let's go do it.
02:00Okay, Cookie.
02:01He's so fast.
02:02Let's meet this great group of kids and librarians.
02:05Come on out.
02:06Yeah!
02:08Wow!
02:09Look at them.
02:10Hey!
02:11Welcome to Cookie Monster's bake sale.
02:14Yeah!
02:16Okay, we split our library friends into two teams.
02:20On the green team, we have Librarian Samantha.
02:24Hi!
02:25Hi, Samantha!
02:26Along with Lulu, Verdi and Trinity.
02:30Welcome!
02:31And on the yellow team, we have Librarian Brianna.
02:34Hi, Brianna!
02:35Along with Logan, Melina and Elena.
02:37Hi!
02:38Hi!
02:39It is so great to meet all of you.
02:40You excited to be here?
02:42Yeah!
02:43Yeah!
02:44Samantha and Brianna, can you tell us about your library?
02:47Our library is amazing.
02:49So many kids and their families and friends come and visit us.
02:52We read books.
02:53We do story times.
02:54What do you love about reading?
02:56There's nothing you can't learn from a book.
02:58And of course, you learn how to bake cookies.
03:01Yeah!
03:04Hi!
03:06The library does not only provide books, but people come here to make friends,
03:11to congregate, lots of reading, to encourage early literacy.
03:15There is no place like home.
03:17I think working as a librarian is extremely impactful.
03:21I absolutely love being a part of this community.
03:25This is a brand new library, and what we could really use right now
03:29are more books in different languages, especially graphic novels.
03:33We could use some tablets, because tablets allow you to read any book at any time.
03:39The more books that a library has, the more opportunities that the kids have
03:44to figure out who they are and what they get excited about.
03:47I'm so excited for this bake sale.
03:49We got to sell a lot of cookies.
03:52So we want to ask a couple of questions.
03:54What is your favorite kind of story?
03:56I like fiction and graphic novels.
03:59I like, like, fairy tales.
04:01I like all books!
04:02Me too!
04:03Yay!
04:04Okay, we got one more question.
04:05Go, Cookie.
04:06Why does an elephant use his trunk as a bookmark?
04:10I don't know.
04:11Why, Cookie?
04:13So he knows where he left off.
04:19No, because it's a trunk.
04:20Yes!
04:21It's a good one.
04:23Pretty funny, right?
04:24Yeah, well, me doing a super secret competition that no one know about.
04:30Yeah, me trying to get everyone to giggle.
04:33And for every laugh me get, me win a special gift.
04:36Oh, me hoping to Cookie.
04:38You are probably wondering why you're wearing those outfits.
04:43Yeah.
04:44And maybe you're wondering why me wearing this.
04:51Yeah, I have no idea why he's wearing that.
04:54But you are wearing those ponchos because it's competition time!
04:58Yeah!
04:59Yeah, yeah.
05:00We are going to see who will win the golden bake sale cookie!
05:06Ooh!
05:07Okay, competition number one.

05:22Not right now.
05:23No eating.
05:24You have to find them.
05:25Yes.
05:26Yes, finding first.
05:27The first person to find all three golden cookies wins.
05:29Yeah, but it not going to be easy.
05:32You need to look for them in a giant sundae.
05:36Yes, tell about the sundae, Felix.
05:40That's right, the vet and Cookie Monster.
05:43I hope everybody's ready to get messy.
05:46Because we fill these sundaes with bath foam, bubbles, and sprinkles, and inflatable bananas.
05:53Oh, and don't forget.
05:55The cherry on top.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Yeah.
05:59You're going to have to search and search to find all three golden cookies.
06:03Like this.
06:06This is harder than I thought it would be.
06:08But that's okay.
06:10I got one.

06:14That looks very messy.
06:15Yeah, and fun.

10:21And yellow team,
10:22you'll need to hit the ground running
10:23to catch up.
10:24Make sure you both have a plan.
10:26Elmo would want to do a house
10:28that's very colorful.
10:30He just noticed all the stuff back here.
10:32No, no, no, no, Cookie, Cookie,
10:33come back.
10:34Focus, Cookie.
10:35You have to focus.
10:36Come on.
10:37Come back and focus.
10:38No, no, come back.
10:39Focus, focus.
10:40Here we go.
10:41Green team, you start first.
10:43Three, two, one.
10:45Decorate!
10:47You have to get some of these.
10:48Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
10:49Look at him go.
10:51There's lots of different candies
10:52up here, too.
10:53I know.
10:54And they have the cookie sheets
10:55to make the houses.
10:56Each team has instructions
10:57on how to build their cookie house.
10:59There they go with the walls.
11:00The walls are going up.
11:01Putting the walls together.
11:02Yes.
11:03They're using the icing
11:04like the glue.
11:05Right, it's like the glue.
11:06It's delicious.
11:07Okay, yellow team.
11:08Three, two, one.
11:10Decorate!
11:12Oh, look at him go.
11:14Get another piece.
11:15Oh, I'm so excited
11:16to see what they come up with.
11:18Do you want these sprinkles?
11:19Wait, no.
11:20We put on the wrong one.
11:21No, it's fine.
11:22We put on the wrong one.
11:23Look, it's the wrong size.
11:24The top part is a triangle
11:26and the wall is supposed
11:28to be at the bottom
11:29of the triangle,
11:30but this one was higher
11:31than the triangle.
11:32We won't be able
11:33to put on the roof.
11:34Okay, I'll get the other side.
11:36So, we already started off
11:37with the other team
11:38having an advantage.
11:39Oh, it's looking good.
11:40It's pretty structural.
11:41It's structural and sound.
11:42So, it was a little stress,
11:43but I knew
11:44that these kids
11:45are so creative.
11:46It's this one.
11:47Yes.
11:48Oh, so that's
11:49the other side.
11:50Yeah, the yellow team
11:51is back on track.
11:52Well, I'm working
11:53on the bushes
11:54for the house
11:55that goes around the house.
11:56They're doing green icing
11:57on top of the strawberries
11:58to make bushes.
11:59It's beautiful.
12:00Isn't it pretty?
12:01Landscaping.
12:02Our idea,
12:03our vision,
12:04was to make it
12:05library themed, of course.
12:06So, this is supposed
12:07to be like the edges
12:08of the books,
12:09like the pages,
12:10because the roof
12:11is going to be
12:12a big open book.
12:13I think it's
12:14going to stay together.
12:15Melina and Helena
12:16did a good job of...
12:17Oh, well, never mind.
12:18Oh, oh, oh.
12:19The roof just fell off.
12:20You know,
12:21I'm wondering
12:22if it's all
12:23going to hold together.
12:24And then I'm going
12:25to take these off
12:26so it's not as heavy.
12:27It needs to be
12:28structurally sound as well.
12:29Structurally sound.
12:30It has to stay up.
12:31It has to stay together
12:32and be sturdy.
12:34This is awesome.
12:37Keep decorating.
12:38We decided to have
12:39trees out of
12:40ice cream cones,
12:41but also with
12:42green frosting
12:43and then also
12:44with green rock candy.
12:45We also added
12:46rosemary.
12:47Wait, rosemary
12:48on a cookie?
12:49Good work.
12:50Say, what's it?
12:51Yeah.
12:52Bucci.
12:53You say bucci.
12:56It's looking delicious.
12:58Wait,
12:59what that word?
13:00Library.
13:01Library?
13:02Yes.
13:03Oh, what a great idea.
13:04Yes.
13:05Wow.
13:06Library.
13:07Oh, Cookie Monster
13:08has a feather.
13:09Tickle, tickle, tickle.
13:11Tickle, tickle.
13:12Yes, Cookie Monster
13:13is really funny.
13:14Really?
13:15Yes.
13:16You think so?
13:17Yes, you are definitely
13:18the bake sale cracker
13:19always making me
13:20and the kids laugh
13:21and giggle.
13:22I don't think that's
13:23helping us, Cookie Monster.
13:24Oh, it's helping me.
13:25Okay, team.
13:2620 minutes left.
13:2820 minutes.
13:29We've got to hurry.
13:3120 minutes?
13:32Okay, y'all.
13:33We've got to
13:34chop, chop, chop.
13:35Oh, we've got
13:36a structure issue
13:37over on the other one.
13:38It's not holding together.
13:39That's a drama.
13:40A little drama.
13:41If it happened,
13:42they'd go over there
13:43and look.
13:44You got it.
13:45You got this.
13:46Come on, yellow team.
13:47You got it.
13:48Oh, it's not.
13:49This is not good.
13:50It's really not good.
13:51I'll put it in here.
13:52So the ceiling
13:53was going to be
13:54like a book,
13:55but the ceiling
13:56kept falling apart.
13:57Okay, we can use snow.
13:58Oh, good idea.
13:59To cover up
14:00all of our mistakes.
14:02Okay, teams.
14:0310 minute warning.
14:0510 minutes left.
14:07I think we should have
14:08some kind of a rainbow theme.
14:09Yeah.
14:10I don't think we stuck
14:11with the color scheme
14:12we were planning,
14:13but the rainbow
14:14turned out really good.
14:15Okay, make sure
14:16to do the same thing
14:17on the other side, too,
14:18if you're doing that.
14:19It's all about
14:20the communication.
14:21If you don't communicate,
14:22then it's not going to work.
14:23Terrific teamwork.
14:24Yes, it is.
14:25I think it looks
14:26really great.
14:27It's a library.
14:28I think it came together
14:29as fast as it could.
14:31Oh, no.
14:32And...
14:33Oh, no.
14:34Three minute warning.
14:36Put the thing there.
14:37Put the thing there.
14:38Keep decorating.
14:39All right,
14:40you can still do this.
14:41We still have time.
14:42I think it looks amazing.
14:44So, after so many failed attempts
14:46of trying to fix
14:47the roof and the ceiling,
14:48we finally got it,
14:49but we only had
14:50a limited amount of time,
14:51so we had to kind of
14:52race and think
14:53and cover our mistakes
14:54with coconut
14:55and just throw cookies
14:56in there for Cookie Monster.
14:58Oh, this is so close.
15:00This time it's fine.
15:01I'll sprinkle this side.
15:02You do it on the other side.
15:03Okay.
15:04Five,
15:05four,
15:06three,
15:07two,
15:08one.
15:09Okay, hands up,
15:10and we're decorating.
15:11Hands up.

15:15Yeah, wow!
15:16Oh, I was so impressed
15:17with those cookie houses.
15:18Yeah, me too.
15:19I've made lots of cookie houses,
15:20but never that many.
15:21Yeah, yeah,

15:33We tried to make it
15:34like a library,
15:35and we covered it
15:36with snow,
15:37and we also left
15:38some snacks
15:39for Cookie Monster.
15:40Whoa!
15:41Yeah, me noticed
15:42all those cookies
15:43crumbled there.
15:44Yeah, that's a good idea.
15:45Good strategy.
15:46Yeah!
15:47Yeah!
15:48Yeah!
15:49Yeah!
15:50Yeah!
15:51Yeah!
15:52Yeah!
15:53Yeah!
15:54I think you all
15:55did a wonderful job.
15:58Green Team,
15:59tell us about
16:00your cookie house.
16:01What's on the roof?
16:02How'd you make the roof?
16:03Well, first we added
16:04wiggly lines
16:05on either side.
16:06One side is blue
16:07and one side is purple.
16:08And then we put
16:09on gummy bears
16:10and sprinkles.
16:11How did you do the trees?
16:12Yes, tell us about
16:13the trees, Trinity.
16:14So what I did,
16:15I put the green icing
16:16around on the trees,
16:17like I went up
16:18and down.
16:19We added some
16:20rosemary.
16:21For extra foliage.
16:22Yes.
16:23You know what I love?
16:24When someone had an idea,
16:25you all said to each other,
16:26great job,
16:27that's pretty,
16:28that's great.
16:29I just love that you
16:30supported each other
16:31the entire time.
16:33I love the color scheme
16:34on both houses.
16:35I think that this one
16:36is more colorful,
16:37but this one's stuck
16:38with the green and the white
16:39and just some little
16:40splashes of blue
16:41for Cookie,
16:42so I think
16:43that's really great.

17:45We're getting resources
17:46for our library,
17:47which is super important.
17:48So, I'm very excited to have the big sale tomorrow.
17:54So, you're both saying that the competition is over?
17:57Yes.
17:58So that means that nobody's going to use this?
18:01Uh-oh, Elmo thinks he's going to need one of those nacho thingies.
18:04Oh, here it comes.
18:06Giant cookie wall!
18:19There we go.
18:21It's a beautiful fall day.
18:23Yeah, and we're putting on a big sale.
18:25Yeah, that's right. We've got a lot to do before our guests get here.
18:28I got the napkins.
18:30We're putting up decorations, signs, and getting all our treats ready.
18:33I'll put this right here.
18:35Ah, perfect.
18:37All our friends are here for the finishing touches.
18:40We're hoping for a big crowd so we can raise money for the library and get them everything they need.
18:46Here's our fundraising cookie.
18:48Yeah, the more we sell, the more we fill it up until we reach our goal.
18:53Okay, we've got a lot to sell.
18:57Come on, everybody. Help the library.
18:59Big sale. Big sale. Big sale.
19:02Big sale. Big sale.

19:07Who's hungry?
19:09Wow, look at this turnout.
19:11Get your baked goods.
19:13Get your cookies and cupcakes.
19:16The treats are delicious. I'm glad I stopped by.
19:19I'm new to the neighborhood.
19:21Every dollar, everything that's donated for them is going to help the library.
19:25Everyone has to help out, and I'm going to do my part by eating everything here.
19:28Yummy!
19:31We love the big sale. We're so happy to be here and support the library.
19:35I think they're going to raise all the money and reach their goal 100%.
19:40We're doing pretty good, but we need more customers.
19:43Come on, people.
19:45I hope more people show up.
19:47Do you think more people will?
19:49They'll show up.
19:50Big sale.
19:52Snuffy, look.
19:53It's Big Bird and Snuffy.

20:03Hi, how are you?
20:04Yeah.
20:05Hello there.
20:06Do you see anything with bird seed?
20:08I did. There's bird seed cakes almost there.
20:11Let's go find them.
20:14Keep going. We're almost there.
20:16Sell. Sell.
20:18I'm choosing the cookies.
20:20That's your treats.
20:21Everyone seems really into it, really eager to raise money for the library, for our tablets and our books.
20:25I'm confident we're going to get everything we need.
20:28We're so close.
20:29Have a great day.
20:31Thank you for coming and helping the library.
20:33Did you have some yummy food?
20:35Yes.
20:37We had a strong turnout from the community, which was amazing.
20:40I knew they'd pull through.
20:42It just reinforces what we already know about how closely knit this community is
20:45and how much everyone cares about the kids and the library.
20:49There you go.
20:54We did it.
20:55Cookie is all full.
20:57And looked delicious.
21:00We reached our goal.
21:03And we couldn't have done it without all of you.
21:07Thank you for joining us for...
21:09Cookie Conversation.
21:17I'm extremely excited for the community coming together at the bake sale
21:21and finally getting more resources.
21:23Alright, look what came for us in the mail today.
21:26I wonder what it is.
21:28We have tablets.
21:30We have tablets.
21:33We have yearbooks.
21:36The library always needs more books because the more options that kids have,
21:40the more opportunities they're going to have as they grow up
21:42to learn about different things and to decide who they want to be.
