 * Leona: Well, I don’t know much about making commercials, but I do know a lot about libraries.
 * Jeff Kidding: You do?
 * Leona: (nods) Yeah.
 * Jeff Kidding: Oh, oh, hey, hey — how about you clue me in? Because, to tell you the truth, I, uh... I’ve, uh... (he looks around a bit before whispering) never really spent much time in one.
 * Leona: (surprised) You haven’t?
 * Jeff Kidding: Nope.
 * Leona: Well, uh, the library is kind of like a... a beautiful garden.
 * Jeff Kidding: Huh?
 * Leona: (nods) Yeah, yeah. And the books are, are like the flowers. And you can pick out all sorts of stories, and amazing things to learn. You could even pick out a book about gardening. (Clip from The Good Seed) Or you could pick a book about pirates. (Clip from To the Ship! To the Ship!) You could pick a book about cowboys. (Clip from Pecos Bill Cleans Up the West) Or you can pick a sad book. (Clip from A King and His Hawk) And you can pick a funny book! (laughs; a clip from There's a Fly in My Soup) You can pick any book you want and read... (curls up next to Theo) with someone you love.
 * Theo: Horton Hears a Who! by Dr. Seuss.
