Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	In the park, Elmo watches as Baby Bear draws a picture of Bob holding the letter Z ("Very heroic pose, Bob!"). Bob has to stay very still if Baby Bear wants to get the picture right. When it's finished, they all look at it and like it, and Baby Bear decides to give it to Bob to put on his refrigerator.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Elmo asks Baby Bear to do a picture of him holding the letter Z next. Bob hands Elmo the Z and Baby Bear instructs him not to move a muscle. However, before he can get started, Elmo changes his mind and wants to hold something else and runs off. "You know, I've got a very funny feeling that it's not going to be easy drawing Elmo's picture today," Baby Bear comments to the viewer.
