Three boys look through a telescope at grandpa, who is framed in the telescope lens' reflection. Water is coming up to his knees. There is dialogue text as the boys discuss how to help their imperiled grandfather.

A man in an eccentric, bright orange plaid outfit with an orange top hat bounds forwards happily, pulling a small smiling boy behind him. They are passing a dour-looking woman pushing a pram with a happy-looking baby. The text reads: "Nanny Quaff claims he is bad with children."

A polar bear leaps along waves of watercolor ice.

A polar bear holds a fish, ready to eat it. To her right are bubbles coming up, with orange text reading "mama?" in them.

A boy in traditional African dress reaches up towards butterflies. These butterflies appear to have transformed from an inky substance.

A spread of book pages. Mama Cecile is on one half, sprinkling something into a pot of bitterleaf stew. On the other half, Yoyo is putting leaves into a small bowl, which a dog is panting excitedly.

Mama Cecile holds a bowl up in the air, selling her bitterleaf stew. Yoyo stands beside her, and the rest of the page is filled with a colorful market.

Brother Coin looms over Yoyo, holding a silver spoon. Yoyo holds the bowl of stew in one hand, while pushing Brother Coin away with the other.

Two boys are laying down, resting next to some tall, beige grass. The shadow of a big cat, like a lioness or a panther, looms over them.

A boy in an orange shirt shields himself with his arms as behind him two people cower, and outside the window there are people with guns silhouetted from the fire behind them.

Little Dragon holds a scorched pirate ship toy. He is wearing swim flippers and a snorkel and goggles. Flames come out of the tip of the snorkel with a "phoosh".

Little Dragon is in the bath, blowing fire at his pirate ship toy with a phoosh.
