something awesome and fun. ALMA: This is gonna be our... clubhouse! ANDRÉ: Awesome! RAFIA: Yeah! ANDRÉ: Hey, since our clubhouse
is made of cardboard... Let's call ourselves
the Cardboard Club... ALMA: I love it! And everyone can play in
the Cardboard Clubhouse! Right? RAFIA: Absolutely!
ANDRÉ: Oh yeah! Of course! KIDS: [sigh] KIDS: Hmm... RAFIA: I hate to say it, but our clubhouse
is kinda plain. ANDRÉ: Yeah,
too cardboard-y. ALMA: [gasp]
Totally! The first mission of
the Cardboard Club should be to decorate
our clubhouse. ANDRÉ: Oh! I'll go home and
get my art stuff! ALMA: Cardboard Club
on three... ALMA: One... ANDRÉ: Two... RAFIA: Three... KIDS: Cardboard Club! ANDRÉ: Woo-hoo! RAFIA: I spy with my little
eye something that is... blue. ALMA: Hmmm... the fence! RAFIA: Right!
Your turn. ALMA: I spy with my little
eye something that is... EDDIE: Nice box! KIDS: Waahhhhh! EDDIE: [chuckle]
Sorry. Can I come in? ALMA: Yeah! Everyone can
play with us. EDDIE: Whoa!
Check it out! It's so roomy! ANDRÉ: Cardboard Club! ANDRÉ: Hey, Eddie. You joined our club. EDDIE: Yup, I sure did. ALMA: What did

Whoops! Whoops! [giggles] Owie! ALMA: Excuse me. Huh, this isn't working.
I'm out here. But I should be
in there. KIDS: Yeah! Come in, Alma!
Come in, Alma! EDDIE: Try here. ALMA: Okay, maybe
I can fit in here... ALMA: ...nope.
KIDS: [efforts] Uh... Maybe I'll
try this way... KIDS: [grunts] ALMA: Nope. ALMA: [sigh] There's gotta
be a way we can all fit. ANDRÉ: I'll make myself
small and squeeze in. [holds breath] ANDRÉ: Okay,
come on in. ALMA: Waitamiunte,
that's it! ANDRÉ: What's it? ALMA: When I want to
fit all my toys in a box, I have to turn them in
different directions... like a puzzle. KIDS: That's a
great idea! Okay! Let's give it a try! ALMA: Okay André,
slide over there. Tuck into that
corner Rafia. Okay, a little to
your right Becka, and Eddie, move
to your left. Great! ALMA: And now I'll just...
sliiiiide in. There! EVERYONE: [cheers]
We did it! Yay! ANDRÉ: Uh... I can't see anyone. EDDIE: Someone's
elbow is in my ribs. BECKA: There's a
foot in my back. RAFIA: Leg cramp.
Leg cramp! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! EDDIE: Umm, now
there's a leg on my head! ALMA: Mmm. On the count of three
everyone change positions... to make more room, okay? One... Two... Three! [grunts] ALMA: Oops, sorry,
my bad. JUNIOR: Mami, can I
go play with Alma? MAMI: Sure, I'll be on a
bench just over there. JUNIOR: Okay, Mami. EDDIE: I can't really
move. ALMA: Oops, sorry. JUNIOR: I don't know
what you're doing, but I want in. Please! ALMA: Ay. The only way we could
all fit in here... is if we were the
size of hamsters, but I can't say 'no'
to Junior so... Suuure..? JUNIOR: Yes! EDDIE: How are we
gonna all to fit? ALMA: There's gotta
be a way. KIDS: Whew. ALMA: Oh! When my mami packs
her suitcase she rolls up her clothes so she
can get more in. Let's try that. RAFIA: Okay, roll into
the box, everybody! KIDS: [laughing] JUNIOR: Alright! ALMA: Incoming! EVERYONE: [efforts] ALMA: Welcome to
the first meeting... of the Cardboard Club... Which is kinda
squishy-squashy. EVERYONE:
[Uncomfortable cheers] ANDRÉ: High-five,
nope up high. BECKA: I caaaan't reeaaaach!
ANDRÉ: I'm here. KIDS: [efforts] Ooooh! EVERYONE: Whooooaaaa!
Ahhh! ALMA: Hmmm... What if we take
turns using the box? No, then we wouldn't be
together. ANDRÉ: We could flatten
the box and sit on top. But then we wouldn't
be inside the box. RAFIA: So, we can't
play together inside? ALMA: No! We made the Cardboard
Clubhouse with one idea! That we should all
have a place to play. KIDS: Yeah! ALMA: We will not leave
any friend out of this box! KIDS: Nooo! ALMA: We are the Cardboard
Club, and in our club, everyone can play... together! ANDRÉ: Cardboard Club!
Cardboard Club! KIDS: Cardboard Club!
Cardboard Club! ALMA: Now let's all
get inside that box! KIDS: [screaming]
Yeaaah! Let's do it!
Woo-hoo! C'mon! ALMA: Huh. Well, that didn't work. ALMA: Huh?
[gasp] More kids
are coming! There has to be a way for
everyone to play together. I gotta think about this... KIDS: Cardboard Club! ALMA: Everyone was really
excited about playing together in the box... KIDS: [efforts] ANDRÉ: Uh... I
can't see anyone. EDDIE: Someone's
elbow is in my ribs. BECKA: There's a
foot in my back. ALMA: ...But we
don't all fit. ALMA: What do you do when you
have a whole lotta friends who want to play together,
but only one cardboard box? ALMA: I wonder what would
happen if we got a giant box... big enough for everyone? KIDS: [cheer] ALMA: Nah, there's no way
to get one box that big... But maybe we don't
need just one box... [gasp] Oh!! I know what to do! ALMA: Hey,
Cardboard Club! I have an idea so that everyone
can play together... but we're gonna
need more boxes. EVERYONE:
[half-hearted cheers] ANDRÉ: I can't
feel my foot. ALMA: A lot more boxes. ALMA: [sigh] Now we have a place
where we can all play together. Welcome to
Cardboard City! KIDS: [cheers] ANDRÉ: [trumpets] I'm André,
King of the Cardboard! LUCAS: World's greatest
cardboard garden! RAFIA: Welcome aboard to
the cardboard club express! Stand clear of the
closing doors please. KIDS: Yes! [laughter] Yeah! Yeah!

[playful laughter] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] ALMA: "Alma Clues In" MAMI: [singsongy] A can
of peas, a bag of rice... Oh, and don't forget
the cinnamon spice... ALMA: Ah-Hah!!
MAMI: Ay! ALMA: I knew it! The Giggler
took the diamond dog collar! MAMI: Something tells
me you just finished the new Carlotta
Clues book? ALMA: Yep! "The Case
of the Missing Diamond!" Carlotta Clues is my
favorite detective! MAMI: Time to go
to the store. Can you bring your
wagon, por favor? ALMA: Yep! Waaait... Where is my wagon? I knew it was here
this morning. MAMI: Ooooh, this sounds
like a case for Carlotta! What would she do? ALMA: "When you don't
know what to do, you've gotta look
for a clue!" MAMI: [mwuah] ALMA: Detective Alma
is on the case! Cluuu-ue where
are you..? ALMA: Hey, Junior! My wagon was here,
but now it's gone. Have you seen it? JUNIOR: Last time I saw, it
was beside the recycling bins. ALMA: Thanks, Junior! ALMA: Huh, no wagon. But maaaybe there's a... Clue! Ah-hah! Wagon wheel
tracks! ALMA: Ah-hah again! There it is! Maybe
Eddie was using it. The case of the missing
wagon is solved. MAMI: Alma! ALMA: Coming Mami. KIDS: Ooooh! Wow!
Nice! RAFIA: Thank you! ANDRÉ: Hey Alma!
RAFIA: Hey Alma! ALMA: Hi Rafia!
Hi André! ANDRÉ: Hi Mrs. Rivera.
RAFIA: Hi! ANDRÉ: Rafia and I are
going to the park... RAFIA: We're gonna
split our piragua... ANDRÉ: Wanna come? ALMA: Sure! Right after I help my
mom with the groceries. Oh! Guess what! I just finished the new
Carlotta Clues book! RAFIA: Really? I
love those books. ANDRÉ: Me too! ALMA: Hey, wanna play
Carlotta Clues later? RAFIA: Yeah!
ANDRÉ: Yes! ALMA: Okay, I'll
be Carlotta Clues. RAFIA: I'll be The Giggler.
ANDRÉ: I'll be The Giggler. ANDRÉ: Please, please...
Can I be The Giggler? RAFIA: Okay André, then
I'll be Brainy McBrains. ANDRÉ: [giggles] I'm the
best giggly giggler... that ever giggled!
[cackle] KIDS: [laugh] ALMA: Cool! Okay,
meet you at the park. RAFIA: Race ya there! [giggle] ANDRÉ: Oh,
the race is on. MAMI: Hi, be there
in a minute. Have fun with
your friends, I'll be over there with
the Lazinski's. ALMA: I'm gonna find
Rafia and André, like Carlotta
would. With clues. ALMA: Hmmm... Dirt... Grass... An old button. [gasp] I know
those shoes! ALMA: Hi, Safina. Have you seen
Rafia and André? SAFINA: [giggle] ALMA: Okay, thanks! [kids laughter] ALMA: A-ha! There they are! Rafia! André!
Ready to play? ANDRÉ: No! I'm so mad I'd rather brush
my teeth with sour milk... than play with Rafia. RAFIA: And I'd rather
drink a fish smoothie... than play with André. ANDRÉ: Hmph! That's fine with me! ALMA: What's
going on? Uh, Rafia,
what happened? RAFIA: Well, we were
gonna share the piragua. But I forgot to bring
an extra spoon. So I raced over to
Safina and got one. But when I got back,
our piragua cup was empty! And André was gone. He totally ate it! ALMA: Whaaaat? Why would he do that? I'm gonna go
talk to him. ALMA: André? Did
you eat the piragua? ANDRÉ: Me? Eat it? No way! Rafia ate it while I was
with the giant squid. ALMA: Oh... Wait whaaaat?
A giant squid? In the park?! ANDRÉ: [giggle]
Yeah. Turns out it was a
guy in a costume. But I just had
to draw him. See! ALMA: Oh, nice! Looks very squiddy. ANDRÉ: Thanks. Those
are my best tentacles yet. But Rafia
definitely ate it! When I got back to
the picnic table, Rafia was there, and the
piragua cup was empty! Empty! ALMA: Ouff! Rafia and André are
so mad at each other. I need to find out
what really happened, but how do I do that? I gotta think
about this... ALMA: Hmm... To solve "The Case of
the Missing Wagon" I started off with
what I knew... ALMA: I know it was
here this morning. JUNIOR: Last time I saw it
was beside the recycling bins. ALMA: Then, I needed
to look for clues. ALMA: Wagon wheel tracks! ALMA: And the clues
led me to my wagon. Ah-hah again! There it is. Hmm... A-ha! I know what to do! ALMA: André, c'mon, we're
gonna crack this case! ALMA: Hey Rafia! RAPHIA: Hmph!
ANDRÉ: Yeah! Hmph! ALMA: Okay, let's start
with what we know. ANDRÉ: All right.
RAFIA: Ho-kay. ALMA: Great. Now, Rafia, you said when you
got back to the picnic table with the extra spoon,
the piragua was gone. And so was André. RAFIA: That's right
'cause... he ate it! ANDRÉ: Did noootttt! ALMA: André, you
said after Rafia left, you drew a picture
of a squid. And when you came
back, Rafia was there... but the piragua
cup was empty. ANDRÉ: Yep, because
Rafia ate it! RAFIA: No, I didn't! ANDRÉ: Hmpf!
RAFIA: Hmpf! ALMA: I need
more clues! So, what else do we
know for sure..? Hmm... Rafia and Andre
had a piragua... and they were
going to share it. Ah-ha! What flavor was
your piragua? KIDS: Orange! ALMA: Oh! Whenever I eat
a piragua, my tongue turns the color
of the flavored syrup. So, whoever ate the
orange piragua... should have an
orange tongue. RAFIA: Okay André,
let's see your tongue. ANDRÉ: You first! ALMA: [sigh] At
the count of three, you both stick out
your tongues, 'kay? One, two, three! KIDS: Ahhhhh. Huh? ALMA: Nope,
not orange. So neither of you
ate the piragua. RAFIA: Huh? So we both
didn't eat it? ANDRÉ: I don't get it. RAFIA: Um, I'm
sorry I blamed you. ANDRÉ: And I'm
sorry I blamed you. But if we didn't eat
it, who did? ALMA: Was there anyone else that
could've eaten the piragua? ANDRÉ: I didn't see who
could have done it, because I was
drawing my picture. ALMA: That's it! Maybe your picture
has a clue. ANDRÉ: [gasp] ALMA: Ah-hah! This Squid Guy was around when
the piragua went missing. I bet he saw something. C'mon! SQUID GUY: Have a
squid-ily day! ALMA: Excuse me?
Mister, um, Squid Guy? SQUID GUY: Oh, Squiddle-do,
can I help you? ANDRÉ: Did you see anybody
around that picnic table in the last hour? SQUID GUY: Hm, come
to think of it, yes I did. KIDS: [gasp] SQUID GUY: There was a
little boy, with his dad, oh, and a very
barky dog. Sounded like this, [barks]. KIDS: Chacho! ALMA: Thank you,
Squid Guy! SQUID GUY: Oh,
my pleasure. Squid-ily-doo! [Chacho barks] ALMA: Papi! Junior! PAPI: Hi niños. ALMA: Did you see
anyone eat a piragua? JUNIOR: Oh! Oh! Me! I ate a piragua! ANDRÉ: So it was
youuuuuu! You ate our
orange piragua! JUNIOR: Orange? No, it was blueberry.
See? Aaahhh... ALMA: Yep!
Blueberry blue. Junior didn't eat your
orange piragua. PAPI: And I had
a red one. Cherry. ALMA: Yup,
cherry red. Gracias, Papi. Thanks, Junior. PAPI: De nada! JUNIOR: Sure Alma! [Chacho barking] ALMA: [sigh] This mystery
is a hard case to crack. ANDRÉ: Yeah, and we don't
have any more people or squids to talk to. RAFIA: What would Carlotta
Clues do if she were stumped? ALMA: Hmm... She'd return where
the mystery started... to see if she
missed any clues. C'mon! ANDRÉ: I found it! ALMA: [gasp]
Another clue? ANDRÉ: No.
My red marker. RAFIA: Ugh. It's too hot to
look for any more clues. RAFIA: Ew, why
am I so sticky? ALMA: Sticky? Waitaminute! Sometimes when I eat a piragua,
my hands get all sticky. This could be
another clue! Sticky orange syrup... And an orange puddle
on the table... Hmm... ALMA: Ah-hah, ants!! That's your cup. And those ants are the only
ones eating your piragua! ALMA: Ah-hah again! I've got it! It's been so hot, the sun
must've melted the piragua. And it leaked
through this hole... RAFIA: Oh! And then
the ants got it. ANDRÉ: Lucky ants. ALMA: "The Case of the
Missing Piragua" is closed! KIDS: Wha-hoo!
Yeah! RAFIA: Now we can
play Carlotta Clues! ALMA: Yeah! I
just need my... ALMA: [gasp] Heeeyyyy...
who took my magnifying glass? ANDRÉ: [cackle giggle] [cackle giggle] RAFIA: That sounds like... RAFIA: The Giggler!
ALMA: The Giggler! ALMA: Brainy McBrains! We have another
mystery to solve... "The Case of the Missing
Magnifying Glass." RAFIA: My super speedy brain
is at your service, Alma! Oh, I mean,
Carlotta Clues! ANDRÉ: [cackle] KIDS: [giggle] SQUID GUY: Mmm,
squid-il-licious! [♪♪♪]
