Mr. Gumpy's human and animal friends squash into his old car and go for a drive -- until it starts to rain.

At bedtime a young boy takes a trip on his toy train and rescues several endangered animals.

A small girl reflects on the comfort she gets from her imaginary friend Aldo.

The children bring home an old mongrel named Courtney who cooks, serves meals, juggles, and even saves the baby from a fire, only to disappear mysteriously.

Unable to find the blanket he always takes to bed with him, a child enlists the aid of his family to help him look for it.

Discovering a magical door in her bedroom that leads her to the zoo, a little girl is tempted to bring one little bear back to her room, and then a menagerie of smaller animals, and then a medley of big animals, until pandemonium ensues.
