Through a mishap in Professor Bulfinch's laboratory, Danny accidentally creates an anti-gravity paint. In time, the government constructs a spaceship which uses the paint as a propulsion system. The spaceship is launched prematurely after Danny and Joe follow Professor Bulfinch and Dr. Grimes on a tour of the ship.

Amahl and the Night Visitors is a beautiful Christmas story- tender, warm, humorous. It tells of a crippled shepherd boy who entertained the Wise Men on their way to Bethlehem, of the simple gift he gave them for the Christ Child, and the miraculous gift he received in return. It was illustrated by Roger Duvoisin, a Caldecott Award winner. Several of the picture are color drawings.
