☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Li'l Genius #24 This issue contains two stories. In the first, a young girl named Molly disguises herself as a boy and hides in the neighborhood to escape her mother's errands, adopting the false name of Molly to conceal her identity. In the second story, Li'l Genius encounters a mother bear and her cubs in the woods; when the animals flee due to human activity, he explains to his father that all the wildlife has abandoned the area because of the noise and disturbance caused by people. A separate humorous short depicts a man attempting to help someone clean up, leading to comical mishaps involving water pressure and a greasy rag.
Li'l Genius is overwhelmed when his twin cousins arrive unannounced, turning his quiet home into a whirlwind of chaos as they wreak havoc with their boundless energy. With the house in disarray and his patience wearing thin, Li'l Genius tries to keep up—only to find himself in one absurd situation after another.
A young boy, eager to attend a girls-only party hosted by his aunt, disguises himself as a girl to sneak in, adopting the name Molly and donning a borrowed dress and wig. After a series of mishaps during games, including accidentally smearing mud on his outfit, he flees the party, only to receive a surprise package from Mrs. Twillig later.
Li'l Lumberjack sets out for a walk in the woods, armed with candy and nuts, hoping to spot wild animals. As he ventures deeper, small creatures like squirrels, a raccoon, and even a fawn begin to follow him, drawn by his treats—until the unexpected arrival of a mother bear sends him scrambling.
Li'l Genius tries to impress his visiting uncle, Uncle Fussier, by behaving perfectly—though his well-intentioned efforts only lead to a series of increasingly awkward mishaps involving a slippery rug, a burst faucet, and a ripped pair of pants. As the chaos mounts, he wonders if he’s learned the wrong lesson about how to treat a guest.
