Dribble Learns a Lesson
6 pp · humor

Dribble decides to pull a fast one on Professor Owl by painting Dodo the donkey to look like a creature the know-it-all professor has never seen before—a cross-hatched zebra. When that scheme washes away in the rain, Dribble tries again with Myrtle, transforming her into a "gurtle" (half giraffe, half turtle), but a sudden landslide scrambles the plan and leaves Dribble looking like the real fool of the day.

Magic for Everybody
5 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

Hocus-Pocus teaches an eager student a series of card tricks featuring the magical Ace of Hearts, each one more baffling than the last—from vanishing cards to defying physics itself. But when the frustrated learner finally gives up and heads home, Hocus-Pocus stops them short to reveal the secrets behind every astounding feat. It's a fun-filled lesson in how a little know-how and misdirection can make anyone a magician.

Puffer at the Circus
4 pp · children

Puffer arrives at the circus with nothing but his harmonica and no money for a ticket, so he sneaks under the tent to catch the show. When the lions escape their cage and panic spreads through the crowd, Puffer's magical harmonica playing calms the beasts and leads them safely back where they belong. The crowd discovers they owe their lives to the resourceful kid and his extraordinary instrument.

Humpty Crashes
3 pp · humor

When Humpty Dumpty takes a nasty spill from his perch, all the King's horses and men rush in to help put him back together—though not entirely with the results he'd hoped for. After patching himself up, Humpty reflects on the mishap and makes a memorable decision about his future sitting arrangements. A vintage nursery-rhyme comedy that brings the classic Mother Goose tale to life for laughs.

Klondike Pete, the Hermit
6 pp · humor

Klondike Pete, a solitary prospector in Black Eye Gulch, accidentally unleashes chaos when he strikes a hollow rock while digging for gold—the impact causes the world itself to shrink like a punctured balloon, collapsing continents and scrambling geography in wildly absurd ways. Racing against the clock to restore order, Pete borrows a bicycle pump from town and sets about reinflating the planet back to its proper size. What the hermit discovers once the world is whole again will test whether his love of solitude can survive a town's gratitude.
