On a cozy, rainy day, Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo sit at the kitchen table making things with pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, and glue, when Catbaloo is reminded of the story of Bosco Bear.

One day, while playing in the forest, Bosco, a little bear with a big imagination, finds a beautifully straight stick.

When he picks it up, it becomes a shepherd's crook, and Bosco is the protector of a whole flock of sheep.

And as he walks along the creek, the stick becomes a fishing pole. He casts his line and catches a WHALE!

And when Bosco stands on a tree stump, the stick becomes a royal scepter. The little birdies of the forest flutter their wings and curtsy, while the squirrels and bunnies genuflect and bow before their kindly king.

Old Mrs. Moody reminds Catbaloo that imagination is a powerful thing. Everything that's ever been made started in someone's imagination.

It's official! 🚸 Old Mrs. Moody is a certified school crossing guard—and she takes her new job very seriously! Her uniform is splendid: a neon-yellow safety vest, a shiny badge, and a whistle!

Catbaloo is there to watch her friend on her very first day, pulling Little Wilbur the kitten in a wagon. Even goldfish Annette is plopped into a glass jar of water so she can come along and watch, too!

She's the very best crossing guard ever! She keeps the kiddos safe and sends them off with her own special kind of encouragement:

"Kiddos, listen to your teachers! You know what listening is all about—use your ears more than your mouth!"

Then it's back home to put her feet up and rest so she'll be ready to do it all again tomorrow!

It's The Summertime Safety Show—a special two-part episode with Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo! They're talking about rules that can help keep you safe on your bike and at the swimming pool.

Oh dear! Old Mrs. Moody gets into trouble with the lifeguard for running on the pool deck, and to make matters worse, Thelma is right there and sees the whole thing. But soon, it's Thelma who's in trouble with the lifeguard when she dives into shallow water!

Then, when Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo encounter a group of kids riding their bikes on the sidewalk, they discover that the kids are on their way to a Bicycle Rodeo to learn all about bicycle safety.

It sounds like so much fun that Old Mrs. Moody hurries home to get her old bike so she can ride in the rodeo with them!

* These episodes share general safety rules. Listeners should always follow local rules and their own grown-ups' guidance.
