Our new school bus driver is named T. Rex Fenderbender. We hear he drives like he's in the Indy 500! Strap on your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride...to school.

On the first day of school, a young boy expects only the worst when he discovers that his new gym teacher is "Coach Kong," Mr. Green.

After getting so bundled up that he can hardly move, Hubie tries to enjoy his snow day off from school.

The kids are nervous about performing in front of the whole school in the talent show, but once they start performing they realize how much fun it is and how talented they are.

"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.

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?

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....

Mrs. Green announces that a new student is joining the class, and he is coming from far away. Immediately, everyone makes their guesses about where he is from. Hubie has his own suspicion--the new kid is from Mars!

Everyone has to run for an office in Mrs. Green's class election. Everyone has to run for something in the class election. But you'd rather run for your life! Even worse, you're running against Doris, who's bought the whole class's votes with ice cream, even your friends. And if you lose the election, they might vote you out of school-yikes! So don't miss out on the jokes and laughs in the Class Election from the Black Lagoon! Mean Mrs. Green is forcing...

Hubie has been invited to a New Year's Eve sleepover but has never spent the night away from home. What happens if he gets sick and what's all the talk about making a New Year's resolution?
