Hugs and Kisses

An irresistibly appealing puppy named Hugs sets out one morning on a quest. He asks every animal he meets for a kiss, and they are all happy to oblige. The pup discovers that duck's kisses are hard and wet; a horse's kiss is a little sticky, but very warm; the pig's kiss is a little muddy and bristly, tickley but tender. He collects lots of wonderful kisses, but when he returns home, he discovers that the best kiss of all is the one he gets from his loving mother.

Farley Farts

Farley the frog has a problem – he can’t stop farting. While his sister thinks it’s funny, his parents and his teacher are not amused. The doctor says it’s only gas and it will pass. The trouble is, it does! Farley tries to control himself, but the results are worse: he swells up like a balloon and floats off into the sky. Comic pictures and a tongue-in-cheek text relate how Farley and his family learn that it’s better to fart and bear the shame than not to fart and bear the pain!
