From the Back Cover
Almost everyone remembers doing story problems in school. But as best-selling author Carol Lynn Pearson (A Stranger for Christmas) demonstrates, those story problems don't end with a diploma. In fact, the equations big boys and girls face are often the most challenging--and the most rewarding. Pearson's clever tale and Kathleen Peterson's evocative pastels will inspire you to return to the classroom for a timely lesson.
Readers of all ages will be drawn to this first of a series of titles by modern writers using the classic fable form.

On Robert's first day at school, he had a wonderful time. He swung on the swings. He sang with the other children. He listened to the stories. He loved sitting at a desk and smelling new paper and touching new pencils. And his teacher was very, very nice.
