Gooney Bird and the Room Mother

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Middy Thomas. Mrs. Pidgeon promises the lead role in the second-grade Thanksgiving play to the student who can find a room mother for their classroom. Gooney Bird Greene announces that she has found a room mother, although her surprising identity is not revealed until the day of the play. This second, gently humorous story about the idiosyncratic Gooney Bird is illustrated with so-so black-and-white drawings.
