☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two stories. In the first, Tom-Tom encounters a ghost with black spots while exploring a dark cave and must light a flare to escape; he later discovers the "ghost" was actually a harmless encounter and wins a treasure hunt prize—a book of ghost stories—which he receives from a woman named Betty. In the second story, "The Pixies," two pixies named Polly and Jimmy discover a box of colorful gumdrops and must deliver them to town, but encounter lazy Daisy Twins and various obstacles involving a giant mushroom before Polly successfully delivers a cake to a town celebration.
When Sheila shows Koko, Kola, and Raymond her uncle's magical jumping bean, the trio gets more excitement than they bargained for—especially when Kola accidentally swallows it and starts bouncing uncontrollably all over town. It's a wild chase through the neighborhood as the friends try to catch their out-of-control pal before the bean causes any more mayhem.
Catchy enters a treasure hunt that sends him into a supposedly haunted house to retrieve a ghost as his final prize—but what he finds inside is far more chaotic than he bargained for. With mysterious figures, narrow escapes, and plenty of comic misadventures, Catchy discovers that winning this particular treasure hunt is tougher than expected. A fun-filled romp through thrills, chills, and ultimately a surprising twist on what makes a "real" ghost.
Goofus the Gopher spots a carnival strength-testing game promising a derby hat to whoever rings the bell, and decides to give it a try—only to find that his small size and the unwieldy hammer lead to a series of increasingly chaotic mishaps. When another character tries to take over the hammer, things spiral even further out of control, and Goofus must think fast to claim his prize before it's too late.
When Pete and Polly discover a treasure trove of gumdrops in the forest, they plan a candy carnival for all the pixies—but the notoriously lazy Daisy Twins scheme their way into the party using a Trojan horse trick, promptly stealing all the sweets. Fortunately, Pete has a secret weapon: when he transforms into the Mighty Atom, he's got a plan to teach those lazy lunkheads a lesson they won't soon forget.
When two young troublemakers set their sights on Helen's birthday cake, Judy draws on the magic of her enchanted chalk to teach them a lesson they won't forget. With her quick thinking and a sticky surprise, Judy turns the thieves' caper into a comedic comeuppance that saves the party—and shows that crime really doesn't pay.
