Characters

Recap

Steve and Blue invite the viewers to figure out Tickety's favorite nursery rhyme. Steve reads the story of Mary Had a Little Lamb. That was not Tickety's favorite rhyme. She whispers in Blue's ear to talk about her true favorite rhyme. After she has finished whispering, Steve plays a game of Blue's Clues to figure out the answer. Steve gets the notebook from Sidetable Drawer. Steve finds the first clue on the number one. After that, they help Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper put in foods that start with the letter P. The letter he receives from Mailbox is about three kids playing the rhyme "Peter Piper". Steve finds the second clue on the Grandfather Clock.

Later on, they help some mini people solve the crossing guard's riddles and help a black sheep with a poem in a Skidoo segment. Black Sheep had to figure out what word rhymes with fox and box. They picked blocks. Then black sheep had to figure out two words that rhyme with goat. They choose boat and coat. Then, Black Sheep had to find out what two words rhyme with shoe. They were blue and canoe. The whole poem goes: There once was a fox on a box playing with blocks. Then he saw a goat riding in a boat dressed in a coat. Then the fox jumped off the box, put on one shoe, and paddled to the goat in a blue canoe. After the poem, Steve was trying to look for Blue. Steve lifts the box and mice were scurrying around.

One of them had a pawprint on it. Steve draws the third clue, a mouse, in his notebook. After that, Steve Skidoos back home to put all three clues together. The clues were the number one, a grandfather clock, and a mouse. Steve thought it was a nursery rhyme where the clock struck 1:00 and the clock was afraid of the mouse. But that was not it. The answer was Hickory Dickory Dock. After figuring out Blue's Clues, Steve reads Tickety's Nursery Rhyme. Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, the mini people, and Black Sheep joined in. After that, they read Tickety's Nursery Rhyme. Steve had a rhyme of his own. The rhyme starts as: There once was a puppy, her fur was all blue. For whatever she wanted, she left us a clue. Sometimes in the garden, in the sink, once we find all three of them together, we sit down and think". Steve sings the So Long Song, and the episode ends.

Trivia

  • This episode features one stock sound effect: "Sound Ideas, COW - SINGLE MOO, ANIMAL 01".
  • Two of Steve's friends in this episode are executive producer Todd Kessler and art & animation manager Soo Kyung Kim. Olivia McGill is also credited as one of them, a relative of a future friend of Joe, Mallory McGill.
  • Even though Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper appeared in this episode, Nick Balaban and Penelope Jewkes are uncredited in this episode.
    • However, they're credited in the VHS.
  • The line "No, a Clue", from The Grow Show was used Twice.
  • Jenna Marie Castle, who later joined the main cast as Paprika, lends her voice to one of Steve's friends in this episode.
  • This episode premiered alongside Magenta Comes Over as part of Blue's Big Monday on Nick Jr.
  • One of the toy people is named Joe, which is also the name of Steve's brother.
  • This episode can be seen on the Nickelodeon Sleepytime Stories DVD.
  • This episode marks one of the few episodes where the question for Blue's Clues didn't involve Blue herself because it involves Tickety.
  • Tickety whispered the answer to Blue after Steve asked her the question.
  • Some of the nursery rhymes referenced in the nursery rhyme book include Humpty Dumpty, Hey Diddle Diddle, Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater, Rock-a-bye Baby, and There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.
  • This is the first episode with rhymes. The second was Rhyme Time.
  • In the Mailtime Segment, the footage was the same as Pretend Time and The Grow Show!.
    • When Steve wails "Mail!" Mailbox pops in quickly before the music ends.
    • Mailbox tells us about a tongue-twister he came up with: Seven Special Silver Stamps.
    • In this episode, Mailbox's flag's squeaking noise is different.
  • During the So Long Song, Steve's hair from the Snack Time idents is used, though this might have been a deleted scene while filming that episode.
  • A couple of Steve's friends in this episode are members of the show's staff.
  • When Steve says, "A rhyme!!" when he skidoos back home, his voice is similar to how he sounded earlier on in the season.
    • He also skidoos back home slower.
  • When Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper both say "The mail's here!", the audio is taken from What Does Blue Want to Make?.
  • When Steve sings We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues, Steve doesn't say "because we're really smart" for the last part, Steve says "and that's great news" (which rhymes with "We just figured out Blue's Clues"). This is the first time Steve sings a different line in the song. The song would then be used again in the next two episodes and in Blue's News, they did change the song altogether, making the last four of these episodes the ones in the first season to not use a part of this song.
  • This episode features a Noggin newspaper boat/hat logo.
  • Clips from this episode were seen in the story that Josh read in this video on the Blue's Clues & You! YouTube channel.
  • Steve does not say, "Bye!" before closing the letter, just like in Occupations in which he said "Fascinating story!" instead.

Goofs

  • After Steve draws the third clue (a mouse), the pawprint is still seen on the mouse.
