In "Mother Goose Crimes!", Zatara takes a whimsical yet pointed approach to teaching children about road safety, using his magic to transform reckless drivers into animals that mirror their habits—like a speedster turned ostrich—before flying the kids above traffic to see the results firsthand. Written by Joe Samachson and illustrated by W. F. White, this 1947 classic blends whimsy and warning, with a courtroom scene where the transformed drivers plead for mercy in their animal forms. The cover by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye captures the story’s playful magic and bold visual flair.
