Description

The circus is a fascinating place, full of interesting people with unusual talents. Mister Rogers helps children know that circus performers enjoy entertaining others and that they practice a lot to be able to do their work well. Many things in the circus are fun, but some things can be scary.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Lady Aberlin and Chuckles the Clown help Daniel Tiger with his fear of clowns and costumes. Nancy Caterpillar realizes that she is beautiful just the way she is, both before and after she becomes a butterfly. Change is part of growing, and children can have many feelings about changes.

Mister Roges and Betty Aberlin visit the Big Top. There they meet trapeze acrobats, elephants and real-live tigers. They even go backstage to watch the clowns put on their makeup. There are so many things to see and do at the circus; it's a neighborhood all its own.

This episode of MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD features:

  • A visit with some baby chicks
  • Lively music played by a circus band
  • A ride on an elephant for neighbor Betty Aberlin

Mister Rogers' universal message of love and self-esteem has brought joy and education to children around the world for more than 25 years. CBS/FOX Video is proud to bring some of the best episodes of MISTER ROGERS' NEIGHBORHOOD into your home.

Running Time: Approx. 28 Minutes.
