As they say in Missouri, 'I ain't goin' back to Missouri!'
— Tom Sawyer[src]

Shelf Life is the third episode of Season 4. It is a half-hour special.

Plot

Timmy has the entire summer vacation to write a long "book report" assignment. He is busy with books... but does not read any until it is almost the first day of school. Timmy wishes that Tom Sawyer would come out of his book and help him write his book report. Tom, who is lazy and arrogant, makes a deal to get Cosmo's wand. At first he enjoys the laziness but when Timmy wants to get the wand back, Tom goes into a few (well known) books. He even changes them because they are too boring. Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda follow him into the book and chase him from book to book. How will Timmy send Tom back to the correct book in time, before Tom re-writes the laws of physics in the book "Astrophysics for Morons". How will Timmy get the books back to normal?

Synopsis

It's summer vacation, the time for rest, relaxation, fun and excitement. Timmy puts off the assignment until the last minute, on Labor Day. They went to the library. His first wish was Sherlock to be out of his book. Even saying Let's just poof Mr.Fancy hat out here. When Sherlock arrived he referred Timmy by name which Timmy asked how does he knows to which Sherlock replied about his job. Timmy then requested him to write his book report which he doesn't want to do even replying Are you dumb? I'm a detective not a babysitter. Then Sherlock leaves to Timmy's house.After that he then wishes Tom Sawyer out of his book to try to make things easier for himself. But Tom caught Cosmo's wand, and he runs amok in various books. Timmy and his fairies follow Tom into the books. The first one is Moby Dick before Tom changed it to Moby Duck which throws Ahab off. The next one is Frankenstein which the villagers attack the monster, then Timmy changes Villagers to "The ill attack" which made them ill. Then, appears is a Frankenstein Monster...Truck.

Then, it changes from Monk to Hunk to Skunk. Then, the third one is Tarzan: Lord of the Apes which the title character of the book (in drapes) tells Cosmo who dressed him. Then,Timmy changes Drapes to Shapes. Then,the title character in the book now calls himself "Lord of Shapes" which he draws a circle,a square and a triangle on a chalkboard. The 4th book is The Three Musketeers which Wanda tries to say "The Three Mouseketeers". The 5th book was Jason and the Argonauts which they fight a creature before Tom changes it from "Argonauts" to "Pussycats" which then titled "Jason and the Pussycats" which the song starts they are trying to stop Tom before he reaches a physics book and turns gravity into gravy and planets into plants.

Timmy then wishes that they were in "The Rat in Spats" and that the said book would be on top of the "Astrophysics for Morons" book. Timmy and his fairies arrive before Tom. Tom tells Timmy to beat that, but Timmy says he doesn't have to. The Rat in Spats then appears and explains to the characters that in Spatsville there is only one law: You cannot ever frown.

Tom Sawyer trying to destroy Timmy.

As Tom is laughing, Timmy then goads the Rat even more by asking him if he is going to take that insult from a punk from Missouri. The Rat screams at Tom "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY SHOES, PUNK?". He then proceeds to squish Tom with his foot. This causes Tom to drop Cosmo's wand which Cosmo then retrieves. Timmy then reveals that he knew that how the story went and by having Tom make fun of the Rat it led to a very big splat.

Tom now flattened swears at Timmy that he hasn't seen the last of him, But Timmy Change Tom's Quote from "You ain't seen the last of me!" to "Your Sending Me To Missouri?" and Tom gets sent back to his book. Wanda guesses they should revert the books to normal.

Timmy realizes he forgot something which was wishing Sherlock Holmes to be in his book again. To which the camera pans that Sherlock Holmes was with Mr and Mrs Turner.
