Unhappy to be the only one in his class who still has not lost a tooth, first-grader Freddy tries to find a way to expedite matters but then is faced with another problem.

Envious because Robbie always brings the most exciting things to school for show-and-tell, Freddy rescues a baby bird that has fallen from its nest and has to find a way to get it to school without his mother or teacher noticing.

When Freddy's class holds a reading competition--with an author visit as the first prize--Freddy is determined to win, even if it means staying up all night.

Because of their good behavior, Freddy and his classmates receive a special treat from the Pumpkin Elf--pumpkins to decorate for Halloween--but when Freddy's creation disappears before the contest, he is too sad to start anew.
