A family gets ready for Halloween, preparing costumes, making goodies for the school party, and carving jack-o'lanterns. Halloween jokes and rhymes are interspersed throughout the text.

Love songs and rhymes are accompanied by illustrations of a family's celebration of Valentine's Day.

Maybelle, Jack, and Eddie want to help Ma by putting something extra on the table, so they set out in the dark to take potatoes from a nearby field, but when they arrive home and empty their potato sacks, they are surprised by what they see.

Illustrated verses follow the activities of Father Fox and his family as they prepare for Christmas.
