Who is the go-to dog when other animals are in trouble? Professor Peanuts! Ever since baseball season began, Rufus and Rascal's pet parents had given them little attention. The food bowl was empty, and if that wasn’t bad enough, the water bowl went dry this morning. "Son,” Rufus said. “There’s nothing else to do but see Professor Peanuts.” Rascal got to his feet. “Who’s that, Dad? Is he a real professor? A real peanut? Does he look like a peanut?” What happens next is a lesson in responsibility as Professor Peanuts joins Rufus and Rascal to take their pet parents to court!

Above the Earth and beyond the clouds lies the City of Wind. It is a special place where winds are born and named. In the City of Wind, a slight breeze learns to become a gust, and a gust becomes a gale. Time comes in snurs and snips—a snur being more like a human month. Every breeze must decide upon which Great Wind to become a part of, such as the great North Wind, or even the West, East, or South Wind. This is Aanjay's story. Aanjay is a slight breeze who has yet to turn into a gust.

Hi, I'm Jack, and today stood out from the rest. It was a great day, a day that I didn't see coming. I knew my spelling test was due today, and I was nervous. Reading and spelling are not skills I have, though my mom says they are learned behaviors, not talents. Not that that makes sense to me anyway.
