Illustrated by
Paul Brewer.
Third-grader Robert Dorfman turns his attention to endangered species; then Grandma Judy comes to town in her (gasp!) fur coat. Next, Robert jumps into politics, serving as campaign manager for a friend's run for class president. These two stories are independent of each other; the abrupt shift creates a transitional awkwardness not present in previous volumes.
