Upon waking one morning, the ladybug sisters Penelope and Priscilla are complaining about eating the same old bug mites and Momma Ladybug reinforces the "Ladybug Duty" of why they must rid the garden of the bad bug mites so that people can have nice, beautiful gardens. Their mother encourages them to use their imagination to create a feast and it would not be like eating bug mites at all. As they fly to the garden, they find that they can have an exciting, fun-filled day using their imagination. This short story will remind children that creating their own imaginary play can be lots of fun.

Tony Bologna lives in a grocery store. He is a dreamer and an adventurer. Like many of us, Tony Bologna always dreams of being somewhere else, or wants to be someone other than who he really is. He finds a way to get out of the grocery store so that he can fulfill his dream for adventure. However, Tony Bologna finds that life in the outside world and being away from his friends was not what he expected. He realizes that the place he really wants to be is the place he left behind.
