Stanley and the Class Pet

(3) K-3 Stanley finally gets to take the class pet, a parrot named Figgy, home for the weekend. However, Stanley, with encouragement from his pal Larry Finchfeather, opens the cage door, and Figgy flies away. The text offers the reality of owning up to one's mistakes within the safety of the classroom setting. Bright pencil, ink, and acrylic illustrations are likewise comforting.
