Dosen't it surprise me.
How can anyone keep track
of a fiddling stick in this house.
( crowing )
I will tell you all about the family
that lives in the shoe.
Hey, just hold it right there.
That song always ruins our reputation.
As I was always saying
We're a great family.
My Mom and Dad, never whipped anybody.
We have fun together.
There's always someone to share with.
We're organized
everyone's got a job to do.
- ( meow ) - And the food, why, it's great.
Right, Dad?
Right, Annie.
This place runs like clockwork.
Dad, you forgot to wind it again.
What are they gonna think?
I'll wind it now.
( ring )
( meow )
- ( squeaking ) - ( meow )
Every morning such a rockus.
See what I mean?
Children, breakfast!
Better hurry, or you'll be late for school.
Did you wash your face, Ramona?
Yes.
- I can't find my shoe, Annie. - In the closet, Theodore.
Oh boy!
What a terrific day!
( chattering at once )
- Smells good! - What's that I smell?
Smells delicious.
Now you all washed your hands.
Am I right, Theodore?
Of course.
What's for breakfast?
Did I hear "What's for breakfast?"
You're in luck.
Today, we're having my secret recipie.
Morning Surprise.
It will be Dad's making it.
Is it the same we have last time?
You bet it is!
You kids really cleaned your plates that day.
- Dad? - Yes, Theodore.
We would rather had almost anything
but your Morning Surprise.
The last time we had it
we fed it to the ced.
I thought you liked it.
We even take pease porridge
before your morning surprise.
I was thinking leftover pizza in the refridgerator.
- Yeah! - Pease porridge.
- That's what I like. - DAD: My favorite.
How would you like it served?
Hot or Cold?
Nine days old?
Yuck!
It was delicious!
If I can't beat chief cook today
I'll settle for bottle washer.
( chuckles )
Are you ready, crew?
I like to sweep those kids right out of the house.
Can you believe how busy it is around here?
Peace and quiet!
( knock on door )

BOY: Two times in a row, Ernie.
GIRL: We got you this time.
Daydreaming about your sweetie, Ern?
I can't wait until it's time to go home.
Maybe Annie will invite me to her house after school.
I wonder what Annie, Ramona, and Theodore
are doing at school, Peabody?
I don't have anything to do.
It is kind of lumsy for Mary but me.
I like peace and quiet.
Hi there, Mary and Peabody.
Nothing to do?
- No, Dad. - DAD: Let's work in the garden.
I really need a helper.
I don't feel like it, Dad.
Cheer up.
Take a look how well your garden is doing.
( giggles )
My, what a lovely blossom.
Enjoy the sunshine?
Look, Dad!
My flowers are really blooming.
Look over there.
♪ White choral bells upon a slender stalk
♪ Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk
♪ Oh, don't you wish that you could hear them ring
♪ That will happen only when the fairies sing
♪ That will happen only when the fairies sing.

Look Mary
This section of the garden looks pretty rare.
How about we get to work over here?
Why don't you plant something.
Okay.
Let's plant more flowers.
Good idea.
We have bulbs for the sisses and daffedills.
They're pretty.
Okay, Troops
back inside to wash up.
Daddy, do you think the bees make honey?
I'm sure they will, Mary.
Mmmmm... That smell tells me
Mom is baking cake again.
You see, Peabody.
It's easy.
( giggles )
Horray for Peabody!
You're home.
How about some tea and cake?
Great!
I'm hungry as a bear.
I'll get the teapot.
Bravo!
What do you think, Peabody?
I guess he's just tired.
I'll put him down for his nap.
( sighs )
- In school today we... - Did you see Ricky Rabbits new haircut?
His tail got cut so short into a powder puff.
He got his notes for his off.
( giggling )
Same song, second verse.
A little bit louder and a little bit worse!
Same song, third verse.
A little bit louder and a little bit worse!
They're back!
Now I have someone to play with.
- Hi, we're home. - Let's eat!
- Where's Dad? - Hi, Mary.
Shh.
Peabody's sleeping.
Go outside and play.
Let's go to our treehouse.
Yeah.
And I could play with my dollhouse.
Did someone say, treehouse?
Let's go.
Shh. Go on, now.
( giggles )
Since I am chief of The Intenational Carpenters Association
I thought you were just a nailholder.
I am Chief Nail Holder of the Association.
We sing songs
in order to make the work done faster.
That sounds like fun.
What do you sing?
What do you sing?
For something like this--
This is the house that Jack built.
You're name's not Jack.
And this is the house that we built!
( all cheering: ) Yay!
- Our treehouse is done! - ALL: HOORAY!
Just in time for supper!
Supper time!
How would you like to go on a picnic?
Great idea!
How about it, kids?
A picnic!
- ALL: Yay! - DAD: Let's hop to it.
My stomach is growling.
I can't bear it any longer.
( all groaning )
I got a picnic supper
all packed and ready to go.
Everyone, grab something.
Ernie, you are invited too.
Thank you, ma'am.
THEODORE: Just don't invite the ants.
( Annie giggles )
Here's a good spot.
Now Annie, you spread the blanket.
- Done. - DAD: Ramona, get the plates.
Theodore, start putting out sandwiches.
( thunder )
Hey, it's raining!
It's pouring.
( soft giggle )
It's not funny, guys!
Our picnic is runied.
I wish the rain would go away right now.
- I'm sorry, Theodore. - Sorry, Mary.
Maybe this will help.
( thunder )
I guess we have to picnic inside.
ERNIE: I'm stuffed.
I can't eat another bite.
MARY: I am full.
Quite frankly, I perferred picnics inside.
- ( meow ) - MARY: Oh, no!
Kitty got locked outside in the rain!
( meow )
Well, excuse me.
MARY: Poor kitty.
( water running )
Come on kids
time to get ready for bed.
- ( groaning ) - ANNIE: Come on you guys
you've got to cooperate.
Ramona, Peabody, and Mary
you three need baths.
- ( all groaning ) - RAMONA: Do I have to?
Uh-huh.
Theodore, you go on to bed.
You have to go home, Ernie.
If you say so, Annie.
Ready? Here we go.
Thanks, Annie.
Sure.
With a bunch like this
you can get all the help they can get.
***-***-dumpling my son John.
His name is not John.
It's just a song, honey.
Is everyone ready for bed?
Where's my teddy bear?
Can someone tuck me in.
1, 2
3, 4
5, 6
7, 8
I guess that's everyone.
Oops! Not everyone.
Hey, what's the matter little guy?
- ( crying and moaning ) - Can't get to sleep?
Here, Peabody.
So, there you have it.
You've met a family who loves in this shoe.
They have lots of children and know what to do.
Papa gives them a kiss every night before bed.
Mother hugs them all gentley.
And tucks them in bed.
