Plot
Lionel's new toy, Bobby the Hopping Robot, doesn't seem to be working properly. No matter how many times he and his father read the instructions, nothing fixes the problem. Eventually, Leona and Click discover that there was a typo in the instructions.

- Since The Vowelles sung the short O sound in the previous season without Martha Reader, they didn't appear in this episode because the gray cursor hand takes the "op" ending to the Chalkboard Word Morph segment instead.
