Li'l Genius #5

Li'l Genius is overwhelmed when his twin cousins arrive from Chicago, quickly turning the house into a chaotic playground with their endless energy and appetite. As the boys wreak havoc with water, food, and roller-skating through the house, Li'l Genius tries to keep up while fearing the worst.

Li'l Genius, determined to attend a girls-only party hosted by his young niece, disguises himself as a girl named Molly to sneak in. After a chaotic game of Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Donkey leaves his disguise muddy and his cover nearly blown, he flees the party—only to receive a surprise package from Mrs. Twillig, who sent him a new dress.

Li'l Lumberjack sets out for a walk in the woods, armed with candy and nuts, hoping to spot wild animals—only to find that the forest is eerily quiet, with only small creatures like squirrels and a fawn appearing. As he shares his treats, more and more animals begin to follow him, turning him into an accidental animal magnet, much to his surprise. The sudden parade of wildlife leads him to wonder what’s driving them all away—until a loud noise from the nearby saw mill gives a clue.

Li'l Genius, aka Ollie Orwell, is left alone to entertain his mother’s visiting uncle, Uncle Fussier, while she runs an errand. Trying to make a good impression, Ollie’s well-intentioned attempts to be polite quickly spiral into a series of clumsy mishaps that leave the uncle flustered and ready to leave.
