SYNOPSIS
Mr. Wolf is the new (wolf) teacher to a 4th grade class of anthropomorphic animals. Margot is new to town; Penny dozes off in a library box after a sleepless night with her new baby brother; Oscar teaches everyone about palindromes; Randy uses a Venn diagram to chart the class’s preference for ice cream vs. farts; and other small first-day-of-school stories, told and drawn with humor and affection. There is discord, confusion, new friendships and laughter – just a typical, diverse, adorable 4th grade class.
