This anthology issue includes two stories: In "Marco Polar Bear," Bobby finds a kite and attempts to fly it with friends, leading to an adventure where he and the kite are carried to China, where he encounters Marco and learns about Chinese farming customs and market practices. The second story features a boy who discovers a delivery wagon that belonged to a roller coaster and, after an encounter with a ghost-like figure, learns the wagon's history involves delivering milk with a magical speed demon, ultimately resolving that Rolly the Speed Demon stayed to help Roger deliver milk throughout the valley. Additionally, the issue contains a story about a boy at a fair who initially rides a mule but is encouraged by his father and others to walk instead, teaching him a lesson about responsibility and effort.

Twinkle

When Twinkle slides down a rainbow to visit a friend near the ocean, he meets a crying starfish who's lost his little brother to a whale. With help from the sun, clouds, moon, and a seahorse named Sammy, Twinkle sets out on a determined rescue mission across sky and sea. It's a heartwarming adventure that shows how friendship and clever thinking can overcome even the biggest obstacles.

Marco Polo BeaBobby Beaver

Marco Polar Bear and his young assistant Bobby embark on a magical journey to China aboard their enchanted rug, where they explore rice fields, traditional boats, and bustling market towns while learning about Chinese customs and culture. Along the way, the pair encounters kite-flying competitions, holiday parades, and the art of eating with chopsticks—all before their rug whisks them back home in time for a proper lunch.

Rolly the Speed Demon
6 pp

Rolly, the spirited lead car of the fastest roller coaster at the amusement park, finds himself in a jam when a sailor's dropped cane threatens disaster—but his daring solo mission to clear the tracks goes spectacularly wrong, sending him flying off into a farmer's field. There, Rolly gets a second life as a milk delivery wagon renamed Speed Demon, teaming up with a boy named Roger to bring dairy to families across the valley, until an unexpected visitor arrives asking questions about the past.

Herbert Discovers the World
2 pp

Herbert finds something mysterious that falls from a moving van—something round and big—and after spelling out W-O-R-L-D, he's convinced he's made an incredible discovery. He gathers his friends at the big oak tree to share what he's found and take them on a tour, inviting them to follow him and see his remarkable find for themselves.

The Miller's Mule
3 pp

A miller and his son set out for the fair with Brownie, their mule, but find themselves constantly second-guessed by passing strangers—each one insisting they've made the wrong choice about how to travel. As the pair keeps rearranging their plan to appease every critic they encounter, things spiral into chaos, and Brownie ends up in a desperate situation that changes everything. This clever tale about the folly of trying to please everyone is a delightful reminder that sometimes the best decision is your own.

The Moving Men
4 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals
PugCurly

Pug and Curly volunteer to help their friend Stripey Chipmunk move to a new home, but their well-intentioned efforts hit a snag when a lost wagon wheel sends the makeshift moving van careening out of control. What should have been a straightforward delivery becomes a chaotic adventure as the two pals race against mishaps and their own clumsy timing to get everything to Stripey's doorstep.
