Contains 9 stories
Military Man
1 pp · humor; children

Little Eva gets a visit from an eager young Cub Scout at the front door, and she wastes no time asking her mother if she can go on a date with this "military man." Her mother gently puts the brakes on Eva's romantic ambitions, suggesting they revisit the idea in about a decade.

Home Sweet Home
6 pp · Humor

Little Eva decides to run away from home because her parents make her wash, eat vegetables, and go to bed early—but when the neighborhood boys offer to let her stay in their clubhouse, she discovers that "independence" comes with the exact same rules she was trying to escape. This 1952 humor tale plays the classic prank of teaching a stubborn kid a lesson through her own experience, complete with a surprise twist that sends her running back where she came from.

The Errand
5 pp · Humor

Eva's supposed quick errand to buy pecans for her mother's cake turns into a comedy of avoidance when she passes the job down the line to a friend, who passes it to another, setting off a chain reaction of shirked responsibility that spirals hilariously out of control. As the errand gets lost in a shuffle of distractions—a doll wedding, a baseball game, marble games—Eva discovers that dodging a chore might come with consequences she didn't anticipate. A charming little lesson in following through, wrapped up with the warm humor that makes *Little Eva* such a delight.

The Pearl Divers
7 pp · Humor

When Little Eva learns that pearls come from oysters in the South Seas, she daydreams herself into a tropical paradise where she becomes a princess—only to discover that the "pearls" she keeps finding in oysters are worth far more than she realizes. A scheming stranger arrives with plans to steal the treasures, setting off a wild chase that sends those precious pearls flying in every direction. It's a lesson in what really matters, wrapped up in pure slapstick fun.

Super Salesman
5 pp · humor

When a young newspaper seller strikes out with conventional pitches—waking sleeping neighbors, interrupting baths, and facing customers without change—he discovers an unexpected way to move his stock: folding the papers into soldier hats that catch the eye of a passing crowd. Watch as this pint-sized peddler learns that sometimes the best sales technique is a little creativity and showmanship.

Tear Jerker
1 pp · Humor

Little Eva searches her disorganized house for a missing pair of blue socks, but her hunt for the misplaced item takes a backseat when she encounters Widow Jones, a destitute woman facing eviction and mounting medical debt. As the widow's troubles pile up, Little Eva must figure out how to help—if she can get anyone to pay attention amid the chaos.

A Leap Year Proposal
5 pp · Humor

Taking advantage of leap year's tradition that girls propose to boys, Little Eva sets her sights on her friend Nipper with grand romantic plans—but her attempts to secure the perfect engagement ring lead her on a comedic odyssey through cigar bands, homemade grass rings, and a jewelry store scheme that's almost too good to be true. Will Little Eva manage to pull off her proposal before someone else steals Nipper's heart?

A Dog's Best Friend
1 pp · humor; children
Daily Bugle
1 pp · humor; children

Little Eva catches wind of an exciting weekend plan when she learns about a special matinee at the local movie theater—complete with two feature pictures, a cartoon, newsreel, and travelogue. What unfolds is a charming slice of small-town entertainment and the simple pleasures that capture a young girl's imagination in 1952.
