One morning, Leela woke up and got dressed into something really cute, put her hair up in a bun, put on her make up and grabbed her book.

She went downstairs. 

"Good morning, children. Today, we will be reading in the park." She said.

"Oh yay! Books!" Webby said.

The boys groaned.

Launchpad walked in. 

"Good morning, everyone." He said.

"Good morning, Launchpad. Today, we shall be going on an outing in the park. Care to join us?" Leela asked.

"Sure. I'd love to." He said.

"Ooooooooooooooooooh." The boys said.

"Oh hush now." She said.

After breakfast, Leela took a bag full of books and walked with the children and Launchpad to the park.

"Alright, kids. Look through them and choose which one you wish to read." She said, handing them the bag.

They looked through the bag.

Webby chose a book easily, but the boys, they just kept looking at the covers and skipping them.

"You boys haven't even read them, how do you know they are no good?" She asked.

"They look boring" Louie said.

"A cover is not the book." Leela said.

The boys groaned.

"Maybe I can get through to you in a different way." She stepped up onto the gazebo and began to sing and dance.

Later in the song, Launchpad joined in.

Leela-Uncle Gutenberg was a bookworm

And he lived on Charing Cross

The memory of his volumes brings a smile

He would read me lots of stories

When he wasn't on the sauce

Now I'd like to share the wisdom

Of my favourite bibliophile

He said a-

Cover is not the book

So open it up and take a look

'Cause under the covers one discovers

That the king may be a crook
