To win the school's cook-off and get a year of free pizza, Finley Flowers and her best friend Henry have to come up with a totally original recipe--the only problem is that neither of them has any idea how to cook.

Tank is a clumsy, outgoing Great Dane, and Haggis is a bored, curmudgeonly Scottie--so one afternoon Tank suggests they turn the wagon in the backyard into a ship and play pirate.

For their first assignment in fourth grade Finley has to think of an invention that will help the world--but when her Supersonic Sibling Sublimator appears to work too well, and her annoying older brother vanishes, only to reappear laughing at the trick he played, Finley comes up with a new invention she is sure will be a hit.

In an effort to convince her parents that she is responsible enough to have a pet of her own, Finley takes a job pet-sitting her neighbor's cat--however the cat turns out to be a hostile handful and Finley's siblings are not proving to be much help in what could turn out to be a complete disaster.

Every year the fourth grade has to do a plan and complete a service project for the school and community, and after a particularly unappetizing school lunch Finley suggests that they should plant a vegetable garden--but when the radishes she and her friends Henry and Olivia plant take too long to sprout she gets very frustrated.

Illustrations and simple, rhyming text invite the reader to join in a day of pet care.

Winter has come to the Fairy Forest, and best friends Ruby, Iris, and Pip are eager to sample all the winter activities available like making snow fairies, sledding, and brewing snowflake tea--and building a simple greenhouse so Pip can start his garden despite the snow.

Best friends Ruby, Iris, and Pip, together with their teacher, Miss Goldwing, set out on a field trip to the Full Moon Fest, following the magic path that appears when the full moon shines on Moon Lake--and once there they find plenty of games, snacks, and dancing.
