Sesame Street Episode 5018
What Floats Rocco's Boat
Season 50


Leela welcomes the viewer as she does laundry work, while Elmo plays nearby with a tub of water, pretending he's at the beach with Baby David swimming. Zoe arrives with Rocco, who wants to swim like Baby David. Zoe places Rocco in the water, but he sinks to the bottom. Leela retrieves Rocco and explains that rocks can't float. Elmo suggests getting rid of Rocco, but Rocco "tells" Zoe he could float with a boat. Leela proposes an experiment to find Rocco a boat, and the two monsters sing about creating "Rocco's Boat."

Elmo comes up with an idea and brings two pencils to the tub, recalling that wood can float. Leela places the pencils in the water, which float, but Rocco can't balance on them and sinks. The monsters sing a reprise of "Rocco's Boat" and brainstorm further. Leela recommends finding something wider and flatter for Rocco to balance on. Zoe runs off and returns with a sheet of paper, which floats but sinks when Rocco is placed on it. After another reprise of "Rocco's Boat," they decide they need something stronger than paper with the same dimensions. Zoe comes back with tin foil, but it also sinks when Rocco is placed on it.

Elmo suggests trying something else and starts singing, but Zoe feels discouraged, saying Rocco is giving up. Elmo encourages her to keep going, and they decide to combine the materials they already have. They use the pencils and tin foil to create a boat, and Rocco successfully floats on it! Leela leads them in a final reprise of "Rocco's Boat."
