These transitional chapter books recast well-known fairy tales with the principal, students, and staff of PS 88. Previously published as a picture book, Underwear follows snazzy dresser Principal Bundy as he's hoodwinked by two shifty tailors. Spell finds PS 88 overrun by enchanted brooms. Comical black-and-white illustrations support the lighthearted texts. Includes lists of characters, vocabulary words, and comprehension questions. Review covers these titles: Our Principal Breaks a Spell! and Our Principal's in His Underwear!
