Little f puts fish, frogs, a fir tree, flowers, and a fox in her box before having further adventures at a farmhouse fire.

A boy named Little J drives to the jungle in a jeep and puts objects that begin with the letter J, such as a jack-o-lantern and some jack rabbits, into a box.

A girl named Little P puts animals that begin with the letter P, such as a poodle, piglets, a porcupine, and a peacock, into a box.

Little q meets a real queen, and with her quarters buys a quart of milk and quince jam before making a bed of quilts for the queen to sleep in.

A boy named Little E puts objects that begin with the letter E, such as eggs and elves, into a box.
