The animals of the Athensville Zoo are thrilled to be visiting a local
school to star in a presentation--everyone except for a very nervous
peacock named Plum. And then an unexpected blizzard strands the animals
at the elementary school overnight--yikes! From award-winning author
Matt Phelan, creator of Knights vs. Dinosaurs and its two sequels,
this companion to Leave It to Plum! is a highly illustrated young
middle grade novel perfect for reluctant readers and animal lovers
everywhere.
The animals of the Athensville Zoo are going to school! Lizzie the
zookeeper has Plum the peacock and his friends loaded in the zoo van to
travel to a nearby elementary school to give a presentation. Most of the
animals are excited--especially Itch, who has always wanted to share his
knowledge with the world. But Plum is nervous. What if he doesn't like
school? What if the students don't like him? What if he messes up the
whole presentation?
Then an unexpected blizzard derails the whole trip, and Plum and his
friends have to stay overnight in the empty school. They'll meet new
friends, such as the classroom mice who rule the school, and the wise
old turtle who supervises the library. And when Itch gets himself into a
whole snowdrift of trouble, Plum overcomes his nerves to save the day!
With short chapters and humorous black-and-white art throughout,
award-winning author-artist Matt Phelan's young middle grade novels
about bighearted Plum the peacock and the Athensville Zoo are just right
for newly independent readers. The Plum books are fun and funny
adventures that tackle relatable emotional themes such as performance
anxiety and being a good friend. A Snow Day for Plum! continues the
hilarious adventures of the young peacock with a big heart and the small
mammal with a big ego. A Snow Day for Plum! is perfect for fans of the
Princess in Black and the Mercy Watson series.
