Two of your favorite characters team up this week… or at least they would if they could learn to get along. After a classic magic milkshake mix-up, the kitty president and hapless wizard will have to learn to listen if they ever want to change back. Lessons include: you shouldn’t have to mistreat one friend in order to make another happy, good listening doesn’t mean tuning the rest of the world out.

Rapunzitti, a new Italian restaurant, is just about to open when another restaurant jealously traps her on top of a stone tower. Will the young restaurant ever escape? Or will Chewville forever be robbed of good eats?! Lessons include: sometimes being a real helper takes a little thought, we all have to grow up and get older, even if we don’t want to

 32 - What if sharks had legs? (Rerun - fixed!) | File Type: Unknown | Duration: 00:20:08

53 - What If? (The Musical!)

 52 - What if the sorting hat from Hogwarts started saying random words instead of houses at the start of the year? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:19:55

Long ago in 2001, when Abacus first opened his magical school, many of his students begged to be sorted.
