Kewpies #1

This is an anthology issue featuring multiple stories about Kewpies, the cherubic characters that have been favorites of American children for over 40 years. "The Everyday Adventures of Scootles and Peter" follows twin Kewpies who receive five real baby Kewpies as dolls and decide to have adventures playing with them, discovering each doll has a distinct personality (Weepie, Happy, Winkie, Scrappy, and Nosey). The issue also includes "Miss Hickory," a Newbery Award-winning selection that follows a character carried by a crow across a winter landscape. An additional story depicts Kewpies discovering rubber balloons and attempting to sell them to townsfolk and a dinosaur they encounter.
