The Bear That Found a Star
5 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Brownie, a little cinnamon bear from Animal Village, discovers a bright star that's fallen from the sky and sets out to return it to its rightful place. His quest takes him from Dr. Owl's office to Hollywood studios, a sheriff's jail, and even the ocean floor—each stop bringing him closer to understanding where the star truly belongs. Along the way, he learns a lesson about helping others and finds an unexpected home among the heavens themselves.

Flip-Flap Does a Good Turn
8 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Flip-Flap, a seal living in the zoo, becomes determined to perform a good deed so his keeper will praise him—and maybe reward him with an extra fish. When he hears the zebras Zippy and Zazu crying about their black and white stripes, he and his new friend Butch hatch a plan to brighten things up with red and green paint. The scheme spirals hilariously out of control, but Flip-Flap learns that doing the right thing—even when things don't go as planned—is its own reward.

In the puddle-filled little town of Puddle Muddle, mischief-maker Christopher Crow discovers a forest fire threatening an airplane factory and springs into action—raising the alarm across the countryside to rally the townspeople.
