Hide and Seek!
7 pp · humor; children
MackBert

When the neighborhood kids settle down for a rousing game of hide-and-seek with Margaret counting, young Joey decides a cardboard box near the street is the perfect hiding spot—only to end up accidentally loaded into a garbage truck by sanitation workers Mack and Bert. It's a wild ride that leads to an even wilder secret Joey refuses to share when he finally emerges victorious, complete with chocolate on his face and a rule about never using that hiding place twice.

Joeyous Giving
5 pp · humor; children

When Joey gets left behind at the Wilsons' after Dennis and Margaret dash off to school, Mr. Wilson assigns him the sticky task of picking snails from the garden—turning a quiet afternoon into a slimy, slow-motion mission.

Free Wheeeeling
5 pp · humor; children
Magic Money
10 pp · humor; children

Dennis and Joey stumble upon a mysterious coin in the grass—one that's far too large for any bubble gum machine, yet somehow keeps working to buy them treats all over town. When the boys realize their "magic penny" might be something far more valuable than they bargained for, the truth behind their windfall comes tumbling out in the most Dennis way possible.

Square Dancing! Free Lessons Today!
7 pp · humor; children
Gina GillottiSallyBilly

When square dancing lessons come to the playground, Dennis is convinced it's pure sissy stuff—until he hears they're the kind of dancing cowboys do, and he's suddenly eager to join in with Margaret. What unfolds is seven pages of delightful chaos as Dennis brings his own brand of energy to "Skip to My Lou" and "Shoo Fly," turning the instructor's orderly circle into a comedy of collisions, rubber spiders, and wild swinging that leaves everyone (especially the poor instructor) thoroughly exhausted.

School Daze
9 pp · humor; children
Mrs. Wade

A young teacher opens a makeshift school and lures reluctant students with the promise of treats—chocolate cookies, strawberry ice cream, and root beer—but chaos erupts when a real frog escapes during nature study and sends everyone on a wild chase through the house. By the time Mrs. Wade arrives home with the refreshments, the classroom pandemonium has already left its mark, and our young educator discovers that keeping order might be tougher than winning students in the first place.

The Kitty Catchers
8 pp · humor; children
Gina GillottiNicoletta (a cat)

When a girl named Margaret finds a stray kitten and decides to keep it, she has no idea that her new pet—whom she names Priscilla—actually belongs to Gina Gillotti, who's been searching for her lost cat Nicoletta all day long. What follows is a wild chase that sends the kitten scrambling onto Mr. Wilson's roof, a panicked call to the fire department, and a rooftop rescue that brings everyone together in unexpected ways. It's a funny tangle of mistaken identity and mayhem that proves sometimes the best-laid plans to help don't quite work out the way you'd hope.

Always a Lady
2 pp · humor; children
Margaret the Artist
1 pp · humor; children

Margaret sets out to paint a portrait of a dog, enlisting Dennis to help keep the subject still—but when the mischievous boy's antics send the pup running wild, her carefully laid plans go hilariously sideways. Dennis's innocent (or is it?) interpretation of her request for a painted portrait lands him in hot water once again, leaving Margaret to rue the day she ever asked for his help.

A Day of Pest
9 pp · humor; children

Mr. Wilson just wants one peaceful day away from Dennis—so naturally, the mischievous kid tracks him down at the beach with the persistence of a bloodhound. What follows is a comedic game of cat-and-mouse across sand dunes, pop stands, and ocean waves, as Dennis cheerfully pursues his reluctant neighbor through every escape attempt. By the time Mr. Wilson finally makes it home, he discovers that even his shower won't save him from Dennis's relentless company.

Fountain Frolicks
5 pp · humor; children

Dennis discovers Mr. Wilson's prized new fountain and birdbath—a sure bet for winning the Community Garden Contest—and decides to lend a helpful hand by adding bubble bath to make it more appealing for the birds. When the contest judges arrive, they're so charmed by Dennis's "original idea" that Mr. Wilson wins first prize, though his joy at the victory is tempered by the realization of exactly who his well-meaning young neighbor really is.

Dream House
8 pp · humor; children

When Mr. Wilson spots plans for a pest-proof outdoor lanai in a magazine, he sees the perfect escape from Dennis—a structure designed to keep out flies, mosquitoes, and one particularly troublesome neighbor. As George sets out to build his dream room, Dennis eagerly volunteers to help, turning what should be a peaceful construction project into a comedy of mishaps and well-intentioned chaos. By day's end, Mr. Wilson discovers that sometimes the best-laid plans have a way of backfiring when Dennis is around.

Pals All Over
1 pp · humor; children

Dennis pursues Mr. Wilson across the globe—from the Swiss Alps to Paris, Japan, and beyond—with his relentless "Yoo hoo!" greeting following his neighbor no matter where he tries to escape. No matter how far Mr. Wilson travels, there's no getting away from the neighborhood menace.

The Big Wind-Up
1 pp · humor; children
Mrs. McDonald

When Mrs. McDonald asks Joey to wind up yarn while she starts dinner, the boy takes the task a bit too enthusiastically—rolling the yarn into one enormous ball. By the time Mrs. McDonald returns, Joey's oversized ball of yarn has unraveled the sweater she was knitting, leaving the boy with an unexpected (and hilarious) mess on his hands.
