Bored because there is nothing to do in the house to which his family has just moved and worried about starting third grade in a new school, Stuart makes a magical cape out of his uncle's ties and has a series of adventures.
Rhyming lament of a young worrywart who wants to go outside and play in the snow but fears what could happen if he does, from slipping on steps to freezing his brain.
As he waits at home for his parents to return, a young boy ponders his father's remark "Things are going to change around here" and begins to imagine all kinds of changes in the world around him.
