Front: Dennis and Gnasher are chasing a pair of cats through the snow (and past a Dennis-like snowman). Back: Dennis and Gnasher's winning raft is revealed to have been pushed by a dolphin in a Menace jumper (who, after he became a regular feature, was named "Splasher").

Back: Smiffy removes the bottom annual from the stack, and Gnasher falls off, spilling peas that trip up Dennis, Minnie, Roger, and JJ. The spiritual successor to the Nibblers from the 70's, Ratz takes a little look at life in the Beanotown sewers. Biffo is riding upon Tick-Tock Tony, the Clock-Work Horse, who was based upon The Horse that Jack Built. Back: Dennis's Dad tilts the trampoline and it bounces Dennis and Gnasher into the pond after they come down, covering them with water as the Bash Street Kids laugh at them. Front: The first completely hand-drawn front cover picture since 1999, with a giant Loch Ness monster (whose face is very similar to Plug's) interfering with all the characters' relaxing swim up at "Loch Mess" (it is obviously a parody of Loch Ness).Front: Roger (top left), Minnie (top middle), Billy Whizz (top right), the Bash Street Kids (middle left), and Ivy the Terrible (bottom middle). Two pancakes have landed on Dennis and Gnasher, and the Bash Street Kids are peering around the door (which suggests that he could have been working in Bash Street School, as the school's cook). Front: The Bash Street Kids are bouncing across a farm on a spacehopper (or a "Super Bouncer", as the book refers to it) that has Dennis's face.

Biffo the Bear is painting a portrait of Big Eggo and all the other (then-current) characters on a large canvas. Back: Jonah is wearing a vest and shorts while sitting on a giant turtle and playing a harmonica, and his clothes are on the mast like a flag, as the turtle looks surprised.There are 68 annual covers here, stretching from the first ever Beano annual in 1940 to the previous year's. Front: All the characters are having a Christmas party with Dennis blowing a noisemaker in Gnasher's face. The Bash Street Kids ride on the Iron Fish as it flies over their Teacher (who'd hooked it) in his fishing boat. Big Eggo and all the other (then-current) characters are playing leapfrog as they approach a pool full of water.
