Playthings: Toy Library; Lucy the Elephant Monument

Mister Rogers arrives with a small elephant carved out of wood. Through a film, he remembers a time he recently visited a much larger wooden elephant named Lucy. After the film, Mister Rogers visits the Neighborhood toy lending library where he meets Barbara Liftman. Ms. Liftman explains the library's procedure for sharing toys with patrons and also discusses some of the library's playful features. Mister Rogers takes some time to look inside a doll house. In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Prince Tuesday is having a difficult time learning to ride his bicycle. With a little help from Handyman Negri, Prince Tuesday finds some encouragement and wants to share his excitement with Ana Platypus. At the clock, Prince Tuesday offers to let Ana ride his bicycle. At the Museum-Go-Round, the master key is used to open the locked door but all that is found inside is an empty box. Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about the importance of playing and sings I'm Proud of You.
