This issue contains two stories. "Li'l Genius" features a young boy helping his mother wrap a cellophane package, which crashes into a roll of green polka-dotted wallpaper, resulting in chaotic destruction throughout the house. A second story depicts a small character waking up in snow with no memory of how the white material got there; after attempting various explanations and encountering ticklish creatures, the character discovers a berry bush nearby and realizes the "white stuff" covering everything is actually snow.

In a chaotic supermarket adventure, Ollie and his mother navigate a wild shopping trip filled with mishaps, mistaken identities, and absurdly oversized items, all while Ollie tries to avoid getting caught in his latest scheme. The day spirals into comedic mayhem as he hides in disguises, accidentally sets off alarms, and causes a chain reaction of chaos—only to be saved by a kind stranger at the end.

A Quarter to Spring

A young bear cub grows restless during hibernation, hungry and eager to explore the snowy world outside their den, despite warnings from his older brother about the dangers of leaving before spring.
