It's storytime and Blue wants to read her favorite story, so we play Blue's Clues to figure out what the story is. Couched between the clues, we help Shovel and Pail act out Jack and Jill, arrange our photo album in order, and help three bears choose which bowl and cup belong to whom.
"Blue's Story Time" contains examples of:
- Call-Back: The book "A Puppy's Day" reappears at the beginning of the episode, which was read by Steve at the end of "What Time Is It For Blue?"
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Magenta makes her first appearance in the series in this episode. However, she is a paler shade of the color magenta and lacks a personality, as her first fully-fledged appearance will be in "Magenta Comes Over."
- Shout-Out:
- The answer to Blue's Clues is "The Three Little Pigs," which is a famous children's story.
- The three bears (Mama, Papa, and Baby Bear), who make their debut in this episode, are based on the three bears from "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
