The issue contains two main stories. In the first story, Peter Rabbit and his cousin Elmer devise a plan to rescue Queen Betty, who has been kidnapped by Prince Droopard and taken to his castle; Peter travels to the castle while Elmer impersonates the queen at a coronation ceremony to fool the kingdom. In the second story, "The Caterpillar's Shoes," a caterpillar named Six Feet arrives at a forest party where a butler points out that Six Feet has three pairs of shoes while all other guests have only one pair, and Peter and Dazy encounter a villain who imprisons Peter's cousin Cicero before the story shifts to a space adventure where Peter joins Space Mouse and other characters on a rocket ship to investigate a freezing problem on the planet Uranus, encountering white knights on a polar landscape before concluding.

Contains 8 stories
Rousing Music!
1 pp · Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Peter plays his instrument so poorly that his friend Dazy throws him out of the house, but when he takes his act to the streets, a mysterious admirer finally approaches with a lucrative offer. When Peter shows up the next morning eager to prove his worth, he discovers his new patron has something very different in mind than a concert.

The Magic Armor
7 pp

Peter Rabbit and a friend head to a costume ball, but when they wish aloud for a taste of medieval romance, a mysterious suit of magic armor transforms their ride into something far more extraordinary—whisking them away to a time of knights, outlaws, and royal intrigue. Suddenly caught up in a dangerous quest involving Robin Hood and a deposed king, Peter must use his wits to survive encounters with swords, guards, and treachery in a world where his modern thinking gives him a surprising edge. It's a wild trip through history that'll make you think twice before making wishes in strange company.

A Crown for Dazy
6 pp

Peter Rabbit gets sent to cover the coronation of Queen Betty in Rabbitania, but arrives to discover the Queen has been kidnapped by the scheming Prince Droopard, who plans to claim the throne for himself with a forged document. Peter hatches a bold plan: dress his girlfriend Dazy as the Queen to proceed with the coronation while he sneaks into Droopard's castle to rescue the real Betty. What follows is a race against time filled with narrow escapes, mistaken identities, and Peter's determination to stop a villain and restore the rightful ruler to her crown.

Cousin Elmer
4.67 pp

When Cousin Elmer arrives for a visit with Timmy, he finds the household cat Cicero waiting to pounce—and the wily mouse must outwit both his relative's naiveté and the determined feline to keep his home safe. Through quick thinking and clever tricks, Timmy and Elmer navigate one chaotic night of close calls and narrow escapes. But the excitement of city living may prove too much for a country mouse to handle.

Beautiful but Dumb!
3.33 pp

Sparky Smith escorts a stagecoach full of passengers toward Boom Town, but the journey turns into a comedic gauntlet of misadventures—fake Indians, bandits, and ghostly encounters all seem to stand in the way. Along with his clever companion Cheeta, Sparky must use his wits and quick thinking to get the stagecoach and its passengers safely to their destination.

Cold Reception!
6 pp

When Earth's temperature plummets inexplicably, Space Mouse and Peter Rabbit blast off to investigate—only to discover that inhabitants of the planet Uranus have built a gravity machine that's stealing the sun away from Earth to warm their frozen world. The two heroes must infiltrate an icy palace, outwit the King of Uranus, and destroy the machine before the planet freezes over completely.

Garden Magic!
1 pp

When Professor gives Peter some new vitamin garden pills to boost his crops, Peter eagerly plants seeds and sprays the mixture across his garden, dreaming of enormous tomatoes and giant beans. But the next morning brings a shocking surprise—the pills worked a little *too* well, enlarging something Peter didn't bargain for. "Garden Magic!" is a one-page tale by Frank Carin that turns a gardener's hopes upside down with a dose of unexpected chaos.

Poster Artist!
1 pp

Peter Rabbit's habit of doodling mustaches on every poster he sees becomes unexpectedly useful when he adds artistic touches to a wanted poster for the notorious Bad Willie Neely—accidentally creating a disguise so convincing that Willie himself uses it, only to be caught red-handed by the sheriff. What starts as mischievous fun turns into a genuine good deed when Peter's "natural-born" eye for art helps bring a criminal to justice.
