My Little Margie #51

When a friend confesses to using Margie's photo to impress her pen-pal date, Margie spots the man's picture and decides she'd rather meet him herself—so she tricks her friend into staying home by convincing her she's dangerously ill. But when the mysterious date finally arrives, things don't go quite as Margie planned, and the truth about the switched photos comes tumbling out in this humorous mix-up.

Through stirring narration, the story celebrates the Capitol as a symbol of the nation's greatest ideals—a place where people of all creeds and colors come together to honor the legacy of those who fought to build a free country. It's a patriotic meditation on the heritage and blessing of liberty that binds the nation together.

Sweet Jessica and Elmer head to Freedomland amusement park for a day of rides and thrills, but Jessica's skipped breakfast leaves her with an appetite that keeps growing—and growing.

Margie grows worried when her father Vern starts acting strangely—sneaking around, staying out late, and muttering to himself in his room.

But Vern's got a secret of his own that turns the whole situation hilariously upside down.

Margie crashes her father's fishing trip with Mr. Honeywell, determined to prove she's outdoorsy after swearing she'd never go near the whole slimy business. As her antics threaten Vern Albright's job, Margie hatches a scheme to catch the trophy fish that's eluded Mr. Honeywell all along—with hilariously mixed results.
