Black lagoon adventures

When his teacher requires that everyone in class take part in the talent show, a boy asks his mother for suggestions and she insists he start taking piano lessons.

Mean Mrs. Green says that everyone has to invent something for the school science fair. But everyone would rather invent a way to get out of it! Hubie can't decide on what he's going to do. He thinks all the good inventions have been done already. And all of his friends have figured out what they are going to do. He tries to decide between cloning himself or building a laugh machine. After a bad dream about cloning, he decides to build a laugh machine....

Field day is one week away, and everyone has to go. But you'd rather go home! Crazy coach Kong is making up all the events! You might leap over lions, hop over hippos, skip through snakes, and tiptoe around tigers! Will it be a field day of dreams or a field day of screams?

Cupid strikes in the Black Lagoon! Everyone has to make a card for Valentine's Day, including Hubie. What's worse, he has to give it to someone in his class. Plus, he can't draw a green-colored square or a dinosaur. He has to draw a pink or red heart or a cupid. He'd rather eat worms!

Hubie just feels sick because baseball fever is catching everyone. The only hit he had last year was when he got hit in the head by a ball. Will he make the big hit this year and knock the ball out of the park?

"It's the end of March, and Hubie is struggling to prepare his pranks for the big day. The whoopee cushion, the rubber tarantula, and the fly in the ice cube just aren't good enough anymore--not when the worst joke comes from the place he least expects it"--P. [4] of cover.

Hubie has never spent the night in someone else's house before, so when Eric invites him and his friends over for a New Year's Eve sleepover, he is understandably worried--a strange house, strange room, and Eric might tell his cheesy jokes, or lead them all in a New Year's revolution.

November is here and Hubie's class is ready to give thanks for the things that they enjoy most football, turkey, and vacation. They're even going to have a parade! But how can Hubie be thankful when none of his friends chooses to work on a float with him? And how can he possibly finish all of that food for Thanksgiving dinner?

A real author is coming to visit Mrs. Green's class.
