This is an anthology issue featuring multiple stories about Kewpies, the cherubic characters that have been favorites of American children for over 40 years. "The Everyday Adventures of Scootles and Peter" follows twin Kewpies who receive five real baby Kewpies as dolls and decide to have adventures playing with them, discovering each doll has a distinct personality (Weepie, Happy, Winkie, Scrappy, and Nosey). The issue also includes "Miss Hickory," a Newbery Award-winning selection that follows a character carried by a crow across a winter landscape. An additional story depicts Kewpies discovering rubber balloons and attempting to sell them to townsfolk and a dinosaur they encounter.

Bumblebee Trouble

Script J. L. Kaye

When the mischievous bumblebees turn Kewpieville upside down just before Scootles’ birthday party, the Kewpies are in a panic—until Scootles has an idea to seek help from the seemingly grumpy Bad Witch Elspeth in Goblin Forest.

The Everyday Adventures of Scootles and Peter
6 pp · Children

Scootles and Peter are thrilled when their mother brings home five real baby siblings who look just like the Kewpies from their stories. The twins take on the playful task of naming and caring for the quintuplets—each with a distinct personality like the grumpy "Scrappy" or the curious "Nosey"—and enjoy their everyday adventures, from pretending to be hunters to trying to cure Sleepy’s hiccups.

Clifford
2 pp · Humor

Clifford, a boy with a passion for bubble gum, enters a big contest and accidentally blows himself out of the stadium—vanishing into the unknown. Meanwhile, in the jungle, Uncle Toló and little Pito discover a crocodile drawn to the latex from rubber trees, only to find it’s not hungry for them, but for the sticky sap—and after drinking a whole bucket, it starts belching out latex bubbles.
