An anthology featuring multiple stories: "Adventures of Patches and Tubby" follows the title characters as they encounter a rare specimen called a "motzorilla" while searching for a banana split prize during an insect-hunting competition. "Youthbuilders, Inc." documents the activities of a Brooklyn junior high school youth club that has spread to chapters in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago, with members engaged in community service and relief efforts for starving children in Europe. "Junior Hall of Fame" welcomes new Youthbuilders members to its ranks. "Tomorrow's World" explains the history and applications of electronics, describing how electron tubes led to revolutionary developments including cathode-ray tubes, television, radar, X-rays, fluorescent lamps, sound movies, electric eye doors, and high-frequency radio waves.

Pigs Is Pigs

After a hearty dinner leaves him feeling stuffed, a young boy wakes up to discover his nose has swollen to ridiculous proportions—and a visit to the plastic surgeon only makes things worse. As increasingly absurd complications pile up, our hero finds himself caught in a slapstick nightmare where every "fix" leads to a new disaster.

High Society
6 pp · Humor, Teen

Sandy and Spiderlegs spot what they think is a wealthy millionaire's lost dog and set out to return it for a reward—but when they finally gain entry to Hamilton Higgins' mansion, they find themselves swept into an unexpectedly glamorous evening with Higgins' daughter, Fifi, complete with dancing, refreshments, and a butler who's had a bit too much ginger ale. Things take a sharp turn when Mr. Higgins himself arrives home to find the uninvited guests in full swing.

A Lion's Tale
8 pp · Humor, Teen

Tubby's job feeding a movie lion seems like the ticket to stardom—until he accidentally brings the wrong big cat to school for a biology assignment, and his genuine way with animals becomes the only thing standing between his classmates and a genuine circus catastrophe. When the dust settles, Tubby's fearlessness earns him and his pal Patches something even better than a trip to the circus: proof that sometimes the best adventures find you when you're just being yourself.
