On a visit to her sister Pearl's hobby farm, Old Mrs. Moody teaches Catbaloo how to gather eggs from the chicken coop. With their baskets full, they find a shady spot beneath a tree and sit down to examine the eggs.

When Old Mrs. Moody points out a beautiful speckled egg, Catbaloo is reminded of the story of Pipi, a little mouse who discovers a spectacular egg hidden in a clump of tall grass in the churchyard. Certain he hears something inside, Pipi rolls the egg home and keeps it warm while he waits for it to hatch.

As Catbaloo tells the story, Festus, a darling miniature donkey, climbs into Old Mrs. Moody's lap to listen. Perhaps you'd like to climb up next to Festus and hear the story, too.

There's much to learn from Pipi's Spectacular Egg: a little about chickens and eggs, and a lot about believing in things you cannot yet see.

Thank you for listening

At an estate sale at the mysterious house at the end of their street, Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo discover a fascinating antique clock. When they accidentally wind the clock backwards, something incredible happens—they travel back in time!

Suddenly, they find themselves in Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869, just in time to witness the historic Golden Spike celebration—the moment the transcontinental railroad is finally completed.

Old Mrs. Moody even becomes part of the story when she volunteers to send a Morse code message over the telegraph, announcing to the entire country that the final rail has been laid.

When Harry is in a very bad mood, his mother says, "Go outside and play, Harry. Being outdoors will make your heart feel happy!"

And his mother is right. The warm sunshine on Harry's face feels wonderful, and his tail begins to wag—just a little bit.

The fresh air feels so good that Harry decides to take a walk in the park. There, he meets a squirrel trying to dig a hole to bury acorns, a little boy whose sailboat has drifted into the middle of the pond, and a duck with both of her feet stuck deep in a mud puddle.

In each situation, Harry comes to the rescue, and each time he helps, his tail wags a little bit more.
