Tired of sitting all day on the Nature Finds shelf in Room 214, a rock named Rick escapes the classroom for the great outdoors, only to discover that sometimes the greatest adventure in life is friendship.

A story told in letters between an owl who just wants some peace and quiet from the neighborhood children so he can read, and the squirrel bookshop owner who helps him realize the value of companionship and community.

"Sassy and Waldo love to have fun! Like when they put on their trench coat and everyone thinks they're a student named Salty. Stewart knows the truth though. He is their best boy. The whole class is doing a school play! But now Stewart is acting like a different person, an evil person. Sassy and Waldo need to get their boy back! Even if it means doing that other kind of play"--Back cover.

It is field trip day to the city museum, and while Stewart expects a boring day of facts and learning, Waldo and Sassy are looking forward to lunch; then they find that the dinosaur room is full of tempting bones, the astronaut boots are good for chewing, and one of the dioramas features a squirrel on a sidewalk, but the highlight is the delicatessen--if only Waldo and Sassy's disguise can fool the guards who are searching for two dogs.

"Woodland animals camp in a human house for a weeklong vacation while the family that lives there is away"--OCLC.

"When Stewart has to stay late after school for a Junior Office Supply Enthusiasts meeting, Sassy and Waldo are left alone to raid the cafeteria's refrigerator. As Sassy and Waldo's after school antics escalate, hilarity ensues as the two dogs start a club . . . by accident"--Provided by publisher.

Bored with sweet, boring picture books about cute and fluffy creatures, a group of unpopular animals tries to write an adventure story featuring themselves, with unwanted help from over-eager Bunny.

Sassy and Waldo are good dogs, who keep their house safe (from squirrels, mostly), and worry about their boy, Stewart, who always comes home from school smelling of anxiety; so the two dogs come up with a plan to help him--they will dress up in a trench coat and attend school, posing as a new student, to find out just what is bothering Stewart.

Snappsy the alligator wants to spend a quiet evening reading, but a pesky chicken who insists he is Snappsy's best friend will not leave him alone.
