Little Angel #12

Little Angel tags along on a guided tour of the United Nations building, but her curiosity gets the better of her—she keeps slipping away from her parents to explore restricted areas, eventually befriending a young delegate's daughter and leading a merry band of international children on an impromptu game of follow-the-leader through the halls. What starts as an educational visit quickly spirals into cheerful chaos as the kids discover that playing together beats any guided tour.

When a broken washing machine sends a busy mother and her inquisitive daughter to the laundromat, Little Angel decides the gruff owner needs some help—with predictably chaotic results. This 1958 tale turns a simple errand into a comedy of good intentions gone hilariously wrong, as the girl's well-meaning efforts to lighten the man's workload create far more mess than order.

When Little Angel's mother launches into an enthusiastic spring cleaning, the well-meaning girl decides to pitch in by cleaning her own room—but her interpretation of "getting rid of the old stuff" leads to a hilarious case of mistaken identity at the junkman's cart. As chaos unfolds and furniture mysteriously vanishes, Little Angel discovers that sometimes the most helpful thing is knowing when to stay out of the way.

When Skinny Marink's toothache becomes unbearable, he dreams up a scheme to knock the tooth out rather than face the dentist—first by picking a fight with Tough Guy Monahan, then by eating so much candy and sweets that the tooth will rot and fall out on its own. His plans to ditch the dentist backfire spectacularly, leaving him with far more aches than he bargained for.
