When Beany's best friend Carol Ann pairs with the new girl at school to create a science project, Beany must work with Kevin the bully. Reprint. Jr Lib Guild.
Beany definitely does not want to spend her summer vacation at camp, but she endures bugs and a bossy cabin-mate, finds a new friend, and has an okay time after all.
“The tale is unfolded with such mastery, humor, and emotional force that we are entirely within its power.” —The New York Times Book Review Features an audio read-along performed by James Earl Jones! Jonathan Toomey is the best woodcarver in the valley, but he is always alone and never smiles. No one knows about the mementos of his lost wife and child that he keeps in an unopened drawer. But one early winter’s day, a widow and her young son approach him with a gentle request that leads to a joyful miracle. The moving, lyrical tale, gloriously illustrated by P.J. Lynch, has been widely hailed as a true Christmas classic.
Five short stories star Beany as she deals with important life lessons including flunking a test, wanting fancy press-on nails, and giving up her favorite shirt when she outgrows it.
