Catalogue Number: 7828

Title Date: May 20, 2001

One day Timothy is in his bedroom drawing when his parents arrive with a letter for him- an invitation to attend Hilltop School Kindergarten. Timothy asks if he can go and his mother confirms that it is time to begin going to school, much to his excitement. His father reminds him that he still has a day to wait, so he spends the time preparing by trying to pick out an outfit and get his items together. After his mom reveals that she made an outfit for him, his dad comes by to inform Timothy its time for bed. Too excited to sleep, Timothy remains awake, just long enough to wonder how the day will go. Eagerly changing clothes and rushing outside to the waiting bus, Timothy is excited until he realizes that he might not know anybody there. His mom assures him that Doris is there however, and points her out as she greets him. Timothy isn't very happy about this but he boards the bus anyway, taking the time to exchange glances with his fellow classmates after being introduced to Henry, the bus driver. As he heads back to join Doris he meets a girl cat. At school, everyone looks around with excitement until their Teacher -Mrs. Jenkins- calls for their attention and brings them over to the sit down spot, where she plays the piano to have them all introduce themselves. Afterwards, she decides to have them start with some drawing. Things go well until Timothy compliments the picture made by Claude, who observes Timothy before commenting on his chosen attire; leaving Timothy to feel down for the rest of the day. He arrives home after school when his mom expresses concern, noticing Timothy seems saddened while preparing for bed. She offers to help him by choosing a formal jacket for him to wear, which perks him up right away. But the next day at school, Claude criticizes the fact that he is overdressed. At home, Timothy mopes and tosses his backpack aside, telling his Mom that he doesn't want to go back to school. In hopes of making him feel better, his mom offers to let Timothy pick out his own clothing. He agrees to give it a try, choosing his favorite blue and white striped shirt. He finds everyone playing the following day at school and is joined by Yoko -the girl cat he met on the bus- and Charles -a shy mouse- who ask him to play with them. But Timothy is more concerned over asking Claude, until they note seeing a familiar shirt and point out Claude is wearing it too. By now Timothy believes Claude will really enjoy his chosen outfit and he approaches to comment on how they wore the same shirt- but Claude insists that Timothy was probably just copying him and walks off. Timothy is saddened by this but isn't given much time to linger on it when he finds a football heading right for Yoko. He calls out to her and runs to her side to safely get her away, but Claude shoves him out of the way to catch it. He rejoins the Franks -twin bull dogs- as Yoko helps Timothy up, then she calls Claude a show-off who thinks he knows everything. Suddenly, it dons on Timothy that Yoko's right, and he was so concerned over what one person thought that he wasn't enjoying himself anymore. Yoko is glad to see he feels better and she invites him to come over to her place after school. Timothy agrees and they run off to play tag.

Book Differences

 * Timothy cries twice in the book. At one point while at school, and at one point when he gets home and seeks comfort from his mom.
 * At one point Timothy wishes something embarrassing would happen to Claude, such as him falling in mud or making a mistake.
 * Originally, the book ended with Timothy befriending a girl named Violet (who is very similar to Yoko) and ignoring Claude and Grace (who was originally a bunny) for laughing at them.

Errors

 * As Timothy is drawing, he has a red, pink, white, and black colored pencil in the box. Inches from it was a brown, purple, and cyan colored pencil. However, when he is shown drawing from the back, the three colored pencils away from the box are now purple, brown, and fuchsia. The cyan colored pencil is shown in a different spot.
 * When the children sit on the shapes, Nora sat on a square and Fritz is on the triangle. As Mrs. Jenkins sings and the camera pans around them, Nora is on a triangle and Fritz is now on a circle.
 * A line was added to Timothy's sun drawing that he was not shown making.
 * The envelope front was facing Timothy as his mom showed it to him. But before he sees it, the back is now facing him.
 * The flowers in the planter in front of Timothy's room change throughout the bedroom scene. Originally there was a few of them scattered around. When he looks out the window later, a lot more were added. From an inside view, there are other colored flowers instead of them all being red.
 * Yoko is shown using a green colored pencil, but her drawing is grey.
 * Timothy's mother has brown feet, but during a scene when she sits with Timothy on his bed they are suddenly dark brown.
 * When Timothy takes his colored pencils out, the box is turned up. When the camera zooms in on his hand for him to open the container, it is suddenly upside down.
 * Also note that when Timothy opens the container, a variety of colors are visible. But as soon as they begin to fall out, they have suddenly all become fuchsia, lavender, orange, blue, red, and yellow.
 * When the camera zooms out, only two colored pencils are near him, even though he dumped the entire set out. When Timothy decides to draw the school as well, the ones shown to be dumped out are next to him.
 * Nora is on the swing set near the end of the episode. When Timothy goes to show Claude they have the same shirt on, she is suddenly gone. When the ball rolls near Timothy afterwards, she returns.
 * When Timothy sits down with Grace and Doris on the carpet, they appear smaller than him.
