Little Lotta Foodland #23

In "Her Uncle Grumble," Dot tries to lift her perpetually grumpy uncle’s spirits with a trip to the carnival, pointing out all the silly ways dots can be funny—on popcorn, on a balloon, even on a clown’s nose. But no matter how hard she tries, her uncle remains unmoved, unimpressed by the whimsy around them. Just when it seems like nothing will crack his frown, a twist of circumstance shows that even the grumpiest of souls might find humor in the most unexpected places.

In "Charlie Is Chicken," Lotta's friend Charlie—always quick to flee from the local bully—finds himself the unlikely subject of a bold new experiment. Determined to help him stand up for himself, Lotta sets out to unleash the courage she knows is hiding beneath his timid exterior.
