Lola does not "ever never" want her wobbly tooth to fall out until she learns that the Tooth Fairy will give money for it.

"Clarice Bean loves Christmas, and she's determined to spread tidings of joy in every possible way. That means making cards to send the neighbors, no matter how unfriendly; assisting a friend in need; stepping in at the Christmas concert; and helping out at home. But as hard as Clarice tries to spread the good cheer, it becomes clear that this holiday season will look different for the Tuesday family. Maybe Clarice's creative problem-solving--and some surprise help--can inspire the Tuesdays to embrace the holiday mishaps and enjoy a day better than anyone imagined!"--Provided by publisher.

"Chirton Krauss is a good child--the very goodest. He does everything he is told, when he is told. He even does good things without being told. He eats his broccoli, he goes to bed on time, and he never, ever sticks his finger up his nose. Meanwhile, Chirton's sister, Myrtle, is not quite as good. She stays up late, she never cleans out the rabbit's pen, and she drops her cocoa puffs all over the rug. But what will happen when Chirton Krauss decides that being the goody isn't always so good after all?"--Provided by publisher.

Lola, who is small and very funny, prepares for Field Day with help from her older brother Charlie, and her friends Lotta and Marv, but while she finds that most of the games are difficult, she might do well in the egg-and-spoon race, if she practices her concentration.

Charlie and Lola see that playing together is more fun than getting their own way. In these six wonderful stories, Charlie and Lola use their creativity and imaginations to make sense of the world around them.

Lola has promised her mother that she will stay clean and tidy for school picture day, but staying clean and tidy is not so easy when there is finger painting to do and a game of puddles to play.

When Clarice has to do a school project on the environment, she and her family become eco-warriors in an attempt to save a tree on their street.

Skilled code-cracker and detective Ruby Redfort and her sidekick butler Hitch work for a secret crime-fighting organization called Spectrum, and Ruby remains calm as they face evil villains.

Clarice Bean tries to glean useful advice from the "Ruby Redfort Survival Handbook" as she deals with several worries, including "largish" spiders, Robert the pest, and, most of all, sudden change.
