Abby Tries & Tries Again

Season 41
Zoe Saldana visits Sesame Street.

In Episode 4238 of Sesame Street, the street scenes focus on a magical transformation adventure involving Leela, Abby, and Chris as they prepare for a party.

The episode starts with Leela closing the laundromat at dusk, as she and Chris plan to attend a party that night. Abby overhears the word "party" and appears to help Leela get ready. Although the party isn't as grand as Cinderella's ball, Abby insists on making Leela look beautiful. Abby sings a "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo"-style spell to change Leela's outfit, but instead of a ball gown, Leela ends up dressed as a pirate, complete with a parrot. Abby tries waving her wand differently, resulting in a football uniform. Leela encourages Abby to be more specific with her rhyme, and finally, Leela gets a beautiful ball gown.

However, Abby thinks Leela's hair isn't "party hair." She sings another spell, giving Leela a red, punk-style hairdo. Abby tries a different rhyme, resulting in a Bride of Frankenstein look. After Leela reminds Abby to be clear with what she wants, Abby gives the spell one more try and gives Leela a perfect hairstyle to match her dress.

Chris arrives to pick up Leela and finds her a tad overdressed, although Abby thinks she looks beautiful. Chris suggests they leave, but Abby thinks they need a way to get there. Since Leela's glass slippers prevent her from walking far, Abby tries a transportation trick. However, her poor aim turns Chris into a horse. Chris insists on being turned back, and Abby tries the trick again, giving Chris a model airplane. When they tell her it's too small, Abby's idea of shrinking them doesn't work either. Instead, Abby tries her trick once more, providing a lovely coach.

Chris, wanting to fit in with Leela and the coach, asks to be dressed like Prince Charming. Abby tries the clothing spell on him, putting the pirate outfit on him this time. Abby attempts to fix it, but Chris actually prefers the outfit. As the two ride off to the party, Abby yells to them to be back before midnight and concludes, "I love to help!"

In one segment, Zoe Saldana and Elmo pretend to be different types of transportation. This imaginative play teaches children about various modes of transportation and encourages them to use their creativity.

Murray and some kids play a game called "What's On Me That Starts With Z?" This segment helps children develop their letter recognition skills and vocabulary by identifying objects that start with the letter Z.

Elmo sings the "Z - Zebra Song," emphasizing the Z sound and introducing children to the word "zebra." This catchy tune helps young viewers learn the pronunciation and recognition of the letter Z.

In "Abby's Flying Fairy School," the students participate in the "Cinderella Challenge" to earn their Fairy Godmother wings. They must transform Blögg into Cinderella by creating a gown, glass slippers, and a pumpkin coach. The segment teaches problem-solving skills, the importance of being specific in communication, and the concept of size.

Murray counts 15 kids, paintings, and backpacks in another segment, helping children learn counting skills and number recognition.

In "Super Grover 2.0: How Now Down Cow," Super Grover helps a cow who is stuck at the top of the stairs at a beauty parlor. He observes the situation and tries various solutions before successfully creating a ramp for the cow to walk down. This segment teaches children about observation, problem-solving, and perseverance.

While taking a trip down Memory Lane, Cookie Monster sings "The First Time Me Eat Cookie." This nostalgic song entertains children while reinforcing the concept of memory and personal experiences.

Finally, in "Elmo's World: Cameras," Elmo explores the world of photography and cameras. This segment introduces children to the concept of capturing images and the various ways cameras can be used.
