☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories featuring Li'l Tomboy. In "Seeing is Deceiving," a woman sends free vitamin pill samples to Li'l Tomboy, who shares them with neighborhood children; the woman later checks on the children and is shocked to discover Li'l Tomboy has tricked her into thinking the vitamins worked by having the kids pose in silhouette. "Li'l Farmboy: Bird's Best Friend" shows a farmboy giving bread to birds and deciding to build a regular feeding station for them, though his plans go awry when he fails to prepare his appearance before his new friend arrives, resulting in his mother having to fix his hair and clothes for a proper introduction.
A young girl invited to a costume party quickly throws together a ghost outfit from a bedsheet, but in her rush she heads to the wrong address—a creepy old house that's been closed up for the season. When she sneaks inside to surprise whoever's there, she stumbles into a hideout where two fugitives are laying low, and her innocent pranks—rattling chains and moaning—send them into absolute panic. What starts as a mix-up becomes an accidentally hilarious showdown as she unknowingly terrifies the criminals while just trying to have fun at what she thinks is the party.
When Li'l Tomboy takes some vitamin pills from a neighbor, she discovers they've given her unexpected strength—though a series of mix-ups leaves her guardian worried she's become dangerously powerful. As the truth behind her newfound abilities unravels, Li'l Tomboy learns that things aren't always what they seem.
When a young farmboy decides to build a bird feeding station to help local birds, she quickly discovers that cats pose a serious problem—so she gets creative with aluminum and a helpful idea that soon spreads to neighbors with the same trouble. This heartwarming 1959 tale celebrates resourcefulness and kindness to both birds and the people around you.
