Contains 6 stories
Pug and Curly Find the Easy Way
8 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

When autumn arrives and winter looms, the busy squirrels Pug and Curly decide there must be an easier way to haul acorns to the storehouse than carrying them one at a time. Their experiments with a roller skate lead to mishaps and mayhem, but eventually the pair stumbles upon an unexpected solution with help from a certain tunnel-digging gopher. It's a charming tale of persistence and creative problem-solving, complete with slapstick humor and forest-animal hijinks.

The Fish That Wore Glasses
4 pp · humor

A vain old codfish in Puget Sound mistakes a fisherman's lost glasses for a tasty snack, only to find them stuck firmly on his face—and suddenly the tiny fish he used to bully look terrifyingly enormous. Starving from fear of his own magnified prey, the codfish must choose between going hungry and taking a risk that might finally teach him a lesson.

Coco and Bobo
7 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

Two curious animals—Bobo the elephant and his friend Coco the monkey—accidentally tumble out of an airplane and land in what they believe is a jungle, only to discover they've crash-landed atop a tree in a city garden. As the pair explore the surrounding penthouse, their misadventures with everyday objects like telephones, radios, and a scooter quickly spiral into comic chaos that brings the police to their door.

Gulliver in Giant-Land
12 pp · fantasy · script ? (adaptation)

When Captain Lemuel Gulliver's ship is caught in a devastating storm and driven into uncharted waters, he finds himself marooned in a land of giants—towering beings as tall as church steeples who speak a language he must quickly learn to survive. Taken in by a farmer's family and eventually brought to the royal court itself, Gulliver must navigate the perils and wonders of Giant-Land while his devoted nurse protects him from jealous courtiers, oversized insects, and other dangers that come with being the smallest person in a kingdom of colossal people. Over two years, the resourceful sailor wins the favor of the King and Queen through his fine manners and talents, but longing for the sea, he accepts an invitation to visit the seashore with the royal family.

Train Time!
6 pp · humor; children

Bobby Baxter III has the finest toy train set around but finds them deadly dull—until the mysterious Mr. P. J. Quince whisks him into a magical bubble and back through railroad history. From mule-powered engines and early steam locomotives to dramatic races and the golden spike that united the nation, Bobby discovers how trains shaped America and earned the respect of the brave engineers who ran them.

Alec and the Christmas Toys
5 pp · children

In the Bunny Village of a department store just before Christmas, young Alec spots a toy airplane he's desperate to fly—and despite his friend Arabella's warnings, he sneaks off after dark to take it for a spin. When the little plane carries them over the city, Alec and Arabella discover a sad doll in need of a home and a heartbroken child waiting for a Christmas present they can actually help with, setting them on a mission that will eventually bring them face-to-face with Santa Claus himself and a problem only they might be able to solve.
