	COLD OPEN	Big Bird feels like reading, but there's nothing to read in the park. Suddenly, a mysterious book falls from the sky and Big Bird walks off with it.
	SCENE 1	The Tooth Fairy is in a frenzy over by the Fix-It Shop. He tells Maria and Gabi that he's lost his "Tooth Fairy Book," collecting the names and addresses of all kids with missing teeth. He can't do his job without it and gets so frustrated, he faints. Maria helps him up and the three start a search.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Meanwhile down the block, Big Bird thumbs through the book, but is unable to read any of the words. He wants somebody to read it to him, but first goes to get his blanket.

	SCENE 2	Maria and Gabi continue searching and decide to get help. Gabi yells out for help, attracting Linda and Barkley. Maria sends Gabi to get Luis, while Maria explains to Linda the situation of the passed-out Tooth Fairy. He wakes up to see a whole slew of street residents (Luis, Mr. Handford, Gina, Susan, Gordon, Miles, Carlo, Tarah, Elmo, Zoe and Snuffy) have arrived. They perform a show tune about how they'll cooperate and help him out. They all split up and look around the street, leaving Maria to tend to the weary Tooth Fairy.
	SCENE 2 cont'd	Big Bird emerges from his nest with his blanket, but can't seem to find anyone.
	SCENE 3	Big Bird looks for someone to read to him, but there's not a soul in sight. Elsewhere, everyone looks around for the Tooth Fairy's book. Ruthie provides him with a pillow and blanket and points out that even Oscar is aiding in the search. Oscar only manages to rattle the Tooth Fairy's nerves even more.
	SCENE 3 cont'd	Big Bird sees Linda coming by with Barkley and considers asking her, but realizes she's deaf and can't recite the story to him. She notices he has the book and struggles to get a good look at it. She finally snatches it from his hands and runs off to the others.
