Charlie, who is nervous about his first day of school, and Dumpy the Dumptruck, who is nervous about his first construction job, gradually adjust to their new settings after making new friends.
After Charlie and his grandfather fix up a rusty old dump truck, they use Dumpy to help Trundle the tractor, Bee Bee the backhoe, and Stinky the garbage truck build a new barn.
When Mrs. Barnes declares that "It's Apple Day," Dumpy wants to help and finally gets his chance once all of the apples are picked and made into pies, apple butter, and candy apples.
When Farmer Barnes tells his family that people are giving less to charity, and children in Africa need toys, they decorate Dumpy the Dumptruck and set off on the Apple Harbor Toy Drive.
The little cat called Bonnie Boadicea and her new owner find great adventure while traveling along the coast of Italy, where Bo continues to seek her missing sister and joins the circus--at least for a while.
"Julie Andrews and her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, have hand-selected a wonderful mix of their most cherished poems, songs, and lullabies in this rich and diverse poetry collection."--Amazon.com.
