- Queen of the Fairies
E1Queen of the FairiesIt's silly sports day. Lucy, who is dressed like a fairy, doesn't want to try any of the silly sports because she's unfamiliar with them and says "no" whenever Mr. Anthony asks her if she want to try this one or that one. Her fear is making her feel all crunchy and tight inside. To make her feel less crunchy, Mr. Anthony shows her how to do the "no" shake to shake all the no's inside of her out. It helps make her feel less crunchy, but doesn't make her any less afraid to try the sports. So Mr. Anthony tells Lucy a Napkin Man story, about the time he helped a little fairy girl like her named Lissy get ready for the fairy festival. Lady Fifi, who runs the festival, announces a Queen of the festival every year, this year it being the most helpful of the fairies, Lissy. However, Lissy, who is unfamiliar with the spells to choose from for all the fairies to use in the festival, says no to them all in her fear of the unknown. Lissy saying no to everything jeopardizes the festival being able to go ahead. - FamilysaurusE2
FamilysaurusThe students are making family collages, in which they are to highlight an activity their family partook. Sam doesn't understand Michelle's collage. It's not the pictures of the dinosaurs, which are to signify her family's recent trip to the dinosaur museum, that he doesn't get, but that the photo she inserts in the middle of the collage solely has her with two adult men, who Mr. Anthony explains are Michelle's two dads. Sam's feeling of confusion is making him feel like he has rocks in his head. Mr. Anthony shows Sam how to do the dinosaur snore to help get those rocks out, which helps but still doesn't make him understand how Michelle can have two dads. So Mr. Anthony proceeds to tell him a Napkin Man story about the time he helped a caveboy named Unk, who didn't understand how his cavegirl friend Oggie could have the parents and sibling she did have, and not a caveman father and caveman mother he would have expected. Napkin Man helped him understand what constitutes a family and what truly binds a family together. - The New Classmate Pt. 1E3
The New Classmate Pt. 1Mr. Anthony tells the class that a new student named Layla will be joining them tomorrow, and that Layla doesn't speak any English yet, but rather speaks Arabic. An excited Lucy volunteers to show Layla around the classroom when she arrives. While the other students make welcome crafts for Layla, Lucy can't help but leap around like a lemur from one spot in the classroom to another in demonstrating what she will show Layla when she arrives. Lucy's excitement makes her feel like she has bubbles inside of her. Mr. Anthony shows Lucy how to do the bubble float to get rid of some of those bubbles, which helps but doesn't make her calm enough not to want to leap around in her excitement. So Mr. Anthony tells her about the time Napkin Man helped his friend, Lulu the Leaping Lemur, who was more exited than usual about a new classmate, Didi, who was joining her tree school, the new student who came from a very different tree school. Lulu leaped from one place to another in the tree school in what she wanted to show Didi, but Napkin Man showed Lulu a better way to show Didi the routine of the tree school that didn't involve as much jumping around. - A Birdhouse Built for TwoE4
A Birdhouse Built for TwoThe students are decorating birdhouses to take home. Sage, who has painted a figure skater on hers, figure skating being her favorite thing to watch, is in a quandary: should she leave her birdhouse at her mother's house or her father's house, her parents who do not live together. Her anxiousness is making her feel wiggly and itchy inside. To make her feel less wiggly and itchy, Mr. Anthony shows her how to do the figure skater twirl. It helps, but doesn't solve the problem of where she should leave her birdhouse. So Mr. Anthony tells her about the time Napkin Man helped his figure skating loving friend Sacha, whose favorite figure skaters were the team of Boris and Belinda. But Sacha became all anxious when Boris and Belinda split as a team, leaving her with the question of who she should cheer for, Boris or Belinda. - The New Classmate Pt. 2E5
The New Classmate Pt. 2A new student named Layla has arrived in the class, she who knows no English but only her native tongue, Arabic. Although Lucy, who has volunteered to show her around the class, is excited about Layla's arrival, Mr. Anthony doesn't think it would be a good idea for Lucy to do so just yet as he can tell, especially after Layla's mom leaves, that Layla is shy not knowing how to communicate verbally with the other students. Mr. Anthony shows Layla how to play peek-a-boo to help her relax, but it still doesn't relieve all her shyness. Mr. Anthony thinks a Napkin Man story might help Layla, this one about the time he helped his donkey friend Sarah who was visiting the ancient city of Petra in Jordan for the first time. Sarah only knew English and not the local language of Arabic. So she was shy to play with a local camel named Jamila, who wanted to play with Sarah but predominantly knew how to speak only Arabic. - The Tempting TreasureE6

To make Aziz feel less panicky, Mr. Anthony shows him how to do the raise the sails salute, which helps, but doesn't stop Aziz from wanting to keep playing his video game. So Mr. Anthony tells Aziz about the time Napkin Man helped his pirate friend, Captain Bart, during a pirate party on Party Island.

Aziz reminds Mr. Anthony that if they paint, they won't have enough time for free play today, Aziz who wants to play with his toy horse, Coco. To be fair, Mr. Anthony lets the class decide by majority vote which activity they would prefer to do. Painting the mural wins by a narrow margin. That doesn't stop Aziz from still wanting free play time, he feeling slumpy in the process of the thought of painting instead. To help Aziz feel less slumpy, Mr. Anthony shows him how to do the horsey gallop, which helps but still doesn't lessen his disappointment in not having free play time. So Mr. Anthony tells him the time Napkin Man helped his friend Jason of ancient Greece. Jason and other villagers decided every morning what they were going to do. Jason, who loves his Pegasus named Russ, wanted to do flying horse tricks that day. But it seemed like everyone else wanted to paint a mural, since they didn't get to finish the mural the day before. - The Happy GnomeE8

Regardless, Lucy is scared, feeling all jumpy and gaspy in the process, while Sam is worried. To make them feel better, Mr. Anthony shows them how to do the penguin shuffle, which helps but doesn't fix the fact that the power is still off.

Mr. Anthony tells Trevor about the time he had the same feeling, he having given his arms orders to get over that feeling. Mr. Anthony demonstrating such to Trevor helps Trevor feel better, but it still doesn't help Trevor in wanting to do the beanbag toss.

Mr. Anthony is feeling wound up and frustrated that the students aren't listening to him to finish their bracelets. His Mom reminds him how to do the string fling, which helps him feel less wound up and frustrated but doesn't make the students listen to him. So his Mom reminds him of a Napkin Man story, which she tells the whole class, about the time he went to the super hero sporting gym, where other super heroes there like Elastic Stan, Stretcho Girl, Muscle Man and Strong Stella got distracted by the arrival of Napkin Mum doing cartwheels - which they wanted to emulate - she who came solely to bring Napkin Man his special lunch.
