Kai riding a big wave on his surfboard, his arms spread wide with a joyful expression, water splashing around him. In the background, a sparkly blue ocean stretches to the horizon under a bright yellow sun.

Kai loved the ocean. He loved the waves. He loved his surfboard. One sunny day, Kai rode a big, big wave. SPLASH! The wave carried him far, far away.

Kai standing on the warm sandy shore of the I-shaped island, holding his surfboard under one arm, looking around with wide curious eyes. In the background, palm trees sway gently, round shimmering ice igloos dot the landscape, and leafy green bushes line sandy paths.

Kai landed on a tiny island. It was shaped like the letter I! The sand was warm. The air smelled salty and sweet. Palm trees swayed in the breeze. What a funny little island!

Kai kneeling down on a sandy path, smiling face-to-face with Iggy the iguana, who wiggles his tail cheerfully. In the background, leafy green bushes and a warm sandy path wind between tall palm trees.

Something wiggled in the sand. Something waddled on the path. It was an iguana! A bright green iguana with orange spots. "Hi!" said Kai. "I am Iggy," said the iguana. "I-i-i! Iggy starts with I!"

Kai sitting cross-legged on the sandy path with Iggy the iguana perched on a small rock beside him, both with mouths open as if saying 'i-i-i' together. In the background, colorful iguanas waddle along the path near swaying palm trees.

"I-i-i," said Kai. "Iggy! Iguana! I hear the sound!" Iggy wiggled and giggled. "Yes! I-i-i! That is the short I sound. Say it with me!" "I-i-i!" said Kai. Can you say it too? I-i-i!

Kai stepping into the entrance of the igloo, hugging his arms and shivering with a surprised grin, while Iggy the iguana peeks in from outside. In the background, the round igloo glows and shimmers with icy blue light, surrounded by warm sandy ground and green bushes.

Iggy led Kai down the path. They found a round igloo made of shimmering ice! It sparkled in the sun. Kai stepped inside. Brrr! It was cold, cold, cold! "I-i-i!" Kai shivered. "Igloo starts with I!"

Kai standing in the sunshine, laughing and looking at his arm where the inch-worm inches along his skin, while Iggy the iguana watches from the ground nearby. In the background, the shimmering igloo and leafy green bushes sit along the sandy path under a bright sun.

Kai came back out into the warm sun. Ahh! Then something tiny tickled his arm. It was an inch-worm! A teeny, tiny inch-worm, inching along. "I-i-i!" giggled Kai. "That tickles! Inch-worm starts with I!"

Kai surrounded by friendly itty-bitty insects buzzing around him, his hands reaching up playfully, while Iggy the iguana sits at his feet looking up at the bugs. In the background, leafy green bushes buzz with life and palm trees frame the warm sandy path.

Buzz, buzz, buzz! Itty-bitty insects flew out of a leafy green bush. They buzzed around Kai's head. "I-i-i!" they buzzed. "Insects starts with I!" "I-i-i!" Kai buzzed back. So many I words on this island!

The welcome sign standing on the beach, its letters tumbling off into the wind, with sand swirling around it. In the background, palm trees bend in the strong wind and waves crash on the shore of the sparkly blue ocean.

Then—WHOOOOSH! A strong wind blew across the island. It shook the palm trees. It kicked up sand. Oh no! The wind blew all the letters off the island's welcome sign! The big letter I flew away! The sign was empty!

Kai, Iggy the iguana, and the inch-worm all standing together in front of the empty welcome sign, looking worried with frowns on their faces, while the itty-bitty insects hover nearby with droopy wings. In the background, the sandy beach and sparkly blue ocean stretch behind the bare welcome sign.

"Oh no!" said Kai. "The I is gone!" Iggy looked sad. The inch-worm looked sad. The itty-bitty insects stopped buzzing. "We need our I back!" said Iggy. "How do we get it?" asked Kai.

Kai with his hands cupped around his mouth calling out, standing beside Iggy the iguana who has his mouth open wide, the inch-worm raised up tall, and the itty-bitty insects buzzing in a circle, as glowing letters drift back toward the welcome sign. In the background, the sparkly blue ocean shimmers and palm trees stand tall under a sunny sky.

"I know!" said Iggy. "We call out I words!" Kai smiled. "Iguana!" called Kai. "I-i-i!" One letter floated back. "Igloo!" called Iggy. "I-i-i!" Another letter came. "Insects! Inch-worm! Interesting!" they all called. "I-i-i! I-i-i! I-i-i!"

Kai jumping with both hands raised high in the air, a huge smile on his face, with Iggy the iguana doing a happy wiggle, the inch-worm curling into a happy loop, and the itty-bitty insects swirling joyfully, all in front of the fully restored glowing welcome sign. In the background, the I-shaped island stretches out with shimmering igloos, green bushes, and palm trees under a golden sunset sky.

POP! POP! POP! Every letter flew back onto the sign. The welcome sign was fixed! It sparkled and glowed. Kai threw his hands up high. "I is for interesting!" he shouted. And all his island friends cheered!

Kai riding his surfboard on a gentle wave, waving back at the tiny I-shaped island, with Iggy the iguana standing on the shore waving a little arm goodbye. In the background, the I-shaped island glows in the golden light with its shimmering igloos and palm trees, surrounded by the sparkly blue ocean.

Kai hugged Iggy goodbye. He waved to the inch-worm and the itty-bitty insects. He hopped on his surfboard. "I-i-i!" he called as he rode a wave home. What a day! Can you say the short I sound? I-i-i! Good job!
