  • Big Bird's moon shot. With the help of some kids and a grown-up named Pete (Cleavon Little) to put the nose cone on the top, Big Bird builds a rocket that matches the plans that came in the rocket kit. With some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from Susan, he is ready to blast off. Pete reminds Big Bird that he has only built a model, and it can't really fly. Big Bird says it can if he really really wants it to--he can use his imagination. He and the kids close their eyes and imagine flying to the moon.
