Troy Eugene Humple III is in a quandary. His fifth grade classmates and the rest of the school's students are busily training their pets for the upcoming All School Pet Talent Show. But Troy has no pet. Follow the funny, stunning and often frightening journey he takes to find his pet.
Suddenly, without hesitation, Troy barreled up the steps of the shelter, opened the door, and ran toward the bus. "I think Evelyn is still in there," he yelled. The wind swirled and a strong gust somersaulted him to the ground and rolled him closer and closer to the old hippy vehicle.
Anna Brown never misses a day of school, so she never misses anything. She sees every good thing and every bad thing that goes on in school. What makes this picture book for primary grades so delightful are the unfinished illustrations that the readers must finish to make the scenes complete.
