Kermit's Lullaby

Written by Richard Chevat, illustrated by Richard Walz.

Kermit is trying to get Robin to settle down and go to sleep. Robin says he's tried things to fall asleep, including counting salamanders, but nothing has worked, and he wants his Uncle Kermit to sing him a lullaby. Kermit begins to sing a version of "Hush Little Baby", but Robin stops to tell him that he is singing it "wrong". Kermit informs Robin that this is the frog version, and sings Robin to sleep.

The Garage Sale

Written by Harry Ross, illustrated by Richard Walz.

Miss Piggy is doing some spring cleaning, and decides that she just has too much clutter and is going to have a garage sale. She makes a sign and gathers her items in her garage. Kermit is the first to arrive and is interested in a kitty cat clock that goes tock tick instead of tick tock, Animal tries on some sandels, Gonzo wants fairy wings, Fozzie is looking at some boots, and Rowlf was going through old books. But Miss Piggy decides she cannot depart with anything, as they all hold memories, but she does allow Gonzo to take the garage sale sign home with him.

Far-Out Talent

Written by Richard Chevat, illustrated by Richard Walz.

The curtain is about to go up on the show at the Muppet Theatre when Scooter rushes in to tell Kermit that Aliens have landed. Kermit sees an opportunity and asks the aliens if they have an act. They reply they have no "ax". Rowlf inquires if they play music, but they do not, Gonzo wonders if they could sing with the Chickens, but they answer that they cannot "zing". Fozzie wonders if they can tell jokes, but they admit they know no "jukes".

These friendly looking aliens, with three arms, five green eyes, orange fur, and a small propeller on their head which allows them to fly are about to leave when Kermit realizes their act can be to fly, and they are coaxed into going on stage, much to the audience's delight. Kermit invites them to stay, but they tell him they must return to their home planet with their very important discovery, "jukes".

Baby Gonzo Gets His Wish

Written by Ellen Weiss, illustrated by Tom Cooke.

Baby Gonzo is digging in the back of the kitchen closet when he finds an old brass lamp. Nanny asks if he would like to polish it, and as he does he begins to daydream. In a wisp of blue smoke, a Genie appears, telling Baby Gonzo he will grant him three wishes. Gonzo uses his first wish for marshmallows, and his second to get rid of the millions of marshmallows that appear. His third wish is to fly, but he didn't say anything about landing, so the Genie grants him a favor.
