  Consists of five animated children's stories. The Day Jimmy's Boa Ate the Wash, by Trinka Hakes Noble, illustrated by Steven Kellogg: A girl comes home to make herself a sandwich and chat with her mom after a long day on a class trip to the farm. The girl's story works backwards at the beginning. Slowly, she leaks out the details of the trip that didn't really get exciting until the cow started crying. Field trip. Back-to-school. Shrinking Violet, by Cari Best, illustrated by Giselle Potter: Violet, who is very shy and hates for anyone to look at her in school, finally comes out of her shell when she is cast in a play and saves the production from disaster. Bashfulness. Shyness. Stage fright. Will I Have a Friend?, by Miriam Cohen, illustrated by Lillian Hoban: Jimmy's worried about the first day of school. The other children are strangers and he's sure he'll never find a friend--until naptime, when he discovers someone else who feels the same way he does. The Hockey Sweater, by Roch Carrier, illustrated by Sheldon Cohen: With every boy in a small Quebec town wearing the sweater of the Montreal Canadians to play hockey, one child is horrified when, because of a mail order mix-up, he is forced to wear a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater. Many Moons, by James Thurber, illustrated by Louis Slobodkin: Princess Lenore is ill from eating too many raspberry tarts. She believes that possessing the moon is the only thing that will cure her. Only when the clever Court Jester consults the Princess herself is the problem solved--with characteristic Thurber wit.
