“Mother Goose Crimes!”

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.

Zatara teaches a group of school children the importance of safety on the roads by Magically flying them above cars and transforming some of the drivers into animals they most resemble (e.g. a speedster into an ostrich). In court as their animal selves they beg Zatara to change them back, swearing they will never more transgress.
