Clementine faces changes at the end of her third grade year and anticipates the birth of her family's new baby.

When it comes to tackling third grade, Clementine is at the top of her game-okay, so maybe not all the time. After her teacher announces that the third and fourth graders will be putting on a talent show, Clementine panics. She doesn't sing or dance or play an instrument. She can't even hop with finesse. And as if she didn't feel bad enough, her perfect best friend, Margaret, has so many talents, she has to alphabetize them to keep them straight ...

Third-grader Clementine tries to adjust to the news that her perfect family of four is adding a new brother or sister.

Stanley Lambchop is an ordinary boy. Then one night, a huge bulletin board falls on him, and he wakes up flat! So begins Flat Stanley, the first in a beloved series of extraordinary adventures.
