At an estate sale at the mysterious house at the end of their street, Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo discover a fascinating antique clock. When they accidentally wind the clock backwards, something incredible happens—they travel back in time!

Suddenly, they find themselves in Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869, just in time to witness the historic Golden Spike celebration—the moment the transcontinental railroad is finally completed.

Old Mrs. Moody even becomes part of the story when she volunteers to send a Morse code message over the telegraph, announcing to the entire country that the final rail has been laid.

When Harry is in a very bad mood, his mother sends him outside to play in the fresh air.

And his mother is right. When he feels the warm sunshine on his face, Harry's tail begins to wag—just a little.

The day feels so good that Harry decides to walk to the park. There, he meets a squirrel trying to bury acorns, a little boy whose boat has drifted to the middle of the pond, and a duck with both feet stuck fast in the mud.

In each situation, Harry seems to know just what to do to help. And each time he does, his tail wags a little more.

While Christmas shopping at a new bookstore in town, Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo find a Christmas book filled with pictures of Santa's workshop so inviting that they decide to jump right into its pages.

At the count of three, they close their eyes and jump—and in the blink of an eye, they are at the North Pole.

When Old Mrs. Moody accidentally starts a snowball fight with the elves, they don't mind at all. Instead, they invite their new friends inside the workshop to warm up.

Inside, the elves hurry about making toys, and in the kitchen, Santa and Mrs. Claus make candy while singing "Jingle Bells."
