☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two Little Eva stories. In the first, Eva becomes infatuated with a boy named Nipper and writes his name everywhere, causing Nipper to fear his gang will see it. When two police officers arrive after Nipper crosses out her signs, Eva sacrifices her dolls to help him pay a fine, but the officers reward them with free dolls instead; they then take a bus ride where the bus drivers give them change in dimes rather than dolls. In the second story, "Bubble-Gum Blowout," Eva decides to enter Mr. Pepper's bubble-gum contest after learning the prize goes to whoever blows the biggest bubble, borrowing gum from a boy and ultimately sharing the prize with him.
In a playful twist on normalcy, Little Eva and her friends embrace "Backwards Day" by walking, talking, and even ordering candy—backwards—leading to silly misunderstandings and a visit from Officer Finnegan, who warns them that while there’s no law against walking backwards, it’s still best to keep things right-side-up. The story follows their antics as they hop, reverse their words, and challenge the order of things, all in good fun.
Eva and her friends play a guessing game with a candy, leading to playful rivalry and a series of escalating misunderstandings. As the game unfolds, a series of sidewalk chalk messages declaring "EVA LOVES NIPPER" begin appearing, causing embarrassment and confusion.
A young boy named Nipper accidentally hits a ball through a window, sparking a frantic search that leads to a surprising question from Martha about a cake recipe. As Nipper insists he can't find the ball, Martha’s casual remark hints at a bizarre twist, leaving the boy’s fate uncertain.
Eva and her cousin Itsy-Bit win a ten-dollar prize by correctly guessing the number of beans in a jar, then spend it all at an amusement park game where Eva wins dozens of dolls in a row. As their pile of dolls grows, they face a moral dilemma when the game’s owner, a struggling man with a large family, pleads for mercy, forcing them to reconsider their actions.
Hot-Rod tries to sell dirt as a business, pitching it to his new neighbor Susan with a plan to surprise her mother with a flower bouquet grown from a free bag of soil. When his scheme goes awry and the bag of dirt lands on his head, he’s left dazed — but still determined to make his new friendship work.
Little Eva and her friend Nipper enter a neighborhood bubble-gum contest to win a prize, each determined to blow the biggest bubble. As the competition heats up, an unexpected twist reveals a clever trickster’s ruse, leading to a surprising and satisfying resolution.
