Trouble at School for Marvin & James

(2) 1-3 Masterpiece Adventures series. Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. Unconventional friends James (a human boy) and Marvin (a beetle) head to school. Artist Marvin is especially enthusiastic about meeting art teacher Mr. Chang. Told from a beetle's-eye point of view, their day is all fun and games until Marvin accidentally winds up in the garbage. Short, punchy sentences; lively pen-and-ink drawings; and large type make the book accessible to new chapter-book readers.
