Andy Russell tries--he really does. But his teacher, Ms. Roman, can be so boring. He daydreams in class and forgets about tests, and finally Ms. Roman has had enough. Andy always knew she had it in for him! But when Ms. Roman is out sick, Andy's class gets a fishy substitute teacher and things turn from bad to worse. Guess who is sent to the principal's office when someone starts playing tricks on the sub!

All is quiet in the stable, except for Baby Owl. "Whooo is the new baby sleeping in the nest below? he asks his mother, and "Where are his feathers?" As Baby Owl listens to Mama Owl's patient answers, he learns all about the Holy Child and the bright star that has come with him. Young children can share in Baby Owl's wonder in this cozy and joyous rendition of the Nativity Story.

It is the first day at Mulberry School and everything is going wrong for one shy little pig. Embarrassed and upset by the morning's mishaps, he decides he would rather hide under the mulberry bush than play with the other children. Luckily, he soon makes the wonderful discovery that a friend can turn up in the most unlikely place. . . . Bringing the same imaginative brilliance to this traditional song that made his Down by the Station a success, Will Hillenbrand has created a reassuring book for anyone who starts school with first-day jitters. Also features the music and lyrics for the popular nursery song.
