The Handy Smurf

Handy Smurf creates a drill, but he begins to try it on everything (the water pump, Harmony Smurf's flute, etc.), which causes trouble for the Smurfs' daily lives. When he's found out, the other Smurfs catch him and make a new invention to get revenge on him: a rotating kicking machine that keeps kicking Handy himself.


The Smurf Paint

The Smurfs try to paint the village to restore it, and some of them add their "personal touch" to the labor. Several Smurfs have difficulties painting, so Handy Smurf creates a paint-spraying system, which he makes work with Harmony Smurf's help. Meanwhile,
Gargamel Gargamel is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the ''Smurfs'' show and comic books. He is a wizard and the sworn enemy of the Smurfs. His main goals are to destroy the Smurfs, eat them, or transform them into gold. Appearance an ...
creates an invisible paint, and uses it on himself to follow some Smurfs to the village. While Papa Smurf goes to his lab to make a formula against Gargamel, Handy and Harmony spray paint on Gargamel, making him visible. Gargamel, blinded by the paint, goes stumbling back at his own house. He decides to use a formula to become a dragon, but accidentally drops the remaining invisible paint on the book with the formula. At the village, Papa Smurf still works on his formula, not knowing that Gargamel has already left.


A Smurfy Party

Gargamel finds that the Smurfs are organizing a party, so he disguises as a bunny to ask them to invite him. The Smurfs immediately recognise Gargamel, but bring him (blindfolded) to the village to give him a lesson. Papa Smurf drops a starch solution on Gargamel, who is immobilised. The party continues until a sudden rain dissolves the solution and Gargamel gets free. However, a Smurf ties Gargamel's feet to a rocket that sends him away to the forest, where a fox sees the bunny-disguised Gargamel and starts chasing him.


Publication and other media

*This book takes several details from the Smurfs TV series: **Smurfette lives in the Smurf Village. **In the episode ''Once In A Blue Moon'' Smurfette wrote an angry letter protesting the return of Baby Smurf to the "creators" instead of going into an uncontrollable crying spree. **Most of the Smurfs begin to use personalized costumes (Handy with overalls, Vanity with a flower on his hat, etc.). Baker Smurf and Vanity Smurf had sporadically used their "own" costumes before, but from this album on, it becomes permanent. **The Smurf in Baker attires is Greedy Smurf. Later stories show Baker and Greedy as separate characters. {{DEFAULTSORT:Baby Smurf The Smurfs books
