This issue contains two stories. "Li'l Genius" features a young boy helping his mother wrap a cellophane package, which crashes into a roll of green polka-dotted wallpaper, resulting in chaotic destruction throughout the house. A second story depicts a small character waking up in snow with no memory of how the white material got there; after attempting various explanations and encountering ticklish creatures, the character discovers a berry bush nearby and realizes the "white stuff" covering everything is actually snow.

Terror on Thursday

20 pp · Humor, Children

Every Thursday, young Ollie manages to turn a simple trip to the grocery store into absolute chaos—and this week is no exception. As his mother tries to complete her shopping while keeping up with her mischievous son, Ollie leaves a trail of disasters in his wake: escaping lobsters, squashed produce, spilled cereal, and increasingly outrageous choices for his upcoming Cub Scout party. Will his mom ever make it through checkout with her sanity intact?

A Quarter to Spring

5 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

A pair of young animals wake their mother repeatedly during hibernation with hunger pangs, and when she finally lets them sneak out before spring officially arrives, their quest for food leads them into unexpected trouble in the snow-covered wilderness. Between dodging angry bears and cracking ice over a frozen stream, these siblings learn that patience—and following Mom's rules—might have been the wiser choice.
