The Real Hole

"I want to dig the biggest hole in the world," Jimmy tells his father one morning. Not one to settle for "pretend" like his twin sister Janet, Jimmy digs a "real" hole with a "real" shovel. Everyone thinks they know what to do with the hole, until Jimmy's father has an idea that will grow for years to come.

Janet's Thingamajigs

A paper clip, a bead, and a spool are among Janet's "thingamajigs" - her special treasures. But her twin brother Jimmy won't stop touching them, and Janet wants her thingamajigs all to herself. Mother is at her wit's end, until the arrival of two grown-up surprises saves the day.

Two Dog Biscuits

There are big dogs, little dogs, curly dogs, dogs that sniff, and dogs that wag their tails. But only one dog will get biscuits from twins Jimmy and Janet - or will it? Maybe dog biscuits aren't just for dogs after all!

The Growing-Up Feet

Jimmy and Janet are growing, and so are their feet. It's always exciting to go to the shoe store and see silly Mr. Markle. But Mr. Markle says the twins aren't ready for new shoes just yet. Luckily, he has an idea that is perfect for their "growing-up" feet and a fun surprise for all - especially Jimmy and Janet.
