This straight-to-video release follows a TV format, with Belle and her puppet friends narrating a series of previously released cartoons. In the live action portion of this release, Belle is the owner of a lavish bookshop. Her love of reading is shared by a group of lively puppets, including two bookworms, a large ginger cat, and a red book with a mustache. A gaggle of precocious children visit Belle's shop and beg for stories. Belle is only too happy to oblige with tales about cooperation and teamwork. The first three animated tales, including one featuring the Beauty and the Beastcast, show characters working together to achieve a common goal. The last two demonstrate that pitching in and doing chores means everyone gets to have fun sooner. In the final scene, set during Belle's chili party, she proves that there's no such thing as a free lunch (or bowl of chili, as it were).
