Li'l Genius #43

When a young boy's obsession with airplanes spirals from carnival rides to toy planes to imagining himself as a pilot, his exasperated parents struggle to keep up with his boundless energy and wild antics. From accidentally destroying merchandise at the five-and-dime to attempting a daring leap from the roof as a makeshift paratrooper, Ollie's aviation mania pushes his poor father to the brink—until a chance encounter with the local fire department might just be the ticket to channel his enthusiasm. It's a lighthearted romp through one chaotic day in the life of a kid who's too clever for his own good, and parents who are doing their very best.

When parents decide to honor all their relatives by combining family names, a young boy finds himself saddled with the unwieldy name Japheth Ambrose Maximillian Ichabod Erastus Davis—and quickly discovers that having five grandfathers' and uncles' names makes him the neighborhood outcast. Everyone's too tired just saying his name to include him in their games, until a family meeting produces an ingenious solution that finally lets him fit in.
