(Illustrated by Marylin Hafner)

Lunch Bunnies

Clyde is eager to go to school for the first time. But after hearing his older brother Jefferson's horror stories about the school cafeteria, the lunch menu, and the ladies who serve it, he's not sure he's ready for school lunch. Rising above his fears, Clyde does fine in the lunchroom and even has the opportunity to share his strength with a classmate, Rosemary, who slips in a puddle of juice and goes flying.

Show and Tell Bunnies

Nothing Clyde owns will be interesting enough for Show and Tell, says Clyde’s older brother. Desperate for something to bring, Clyde investigates the basement looking for his great-grandfather’s thermometer collection. What he finds instead is a gray fuzzy ball that is oddly interesting. Mrs. McFuzz declares that Clyde’s find is “a mystery object! Sometimes they’re the most exciting.” After lunch the mystery is revealed: Clyde’s mysterious fuzzy ball hatches into hundreds of baby spiderlings which sail out the classroom window on streamers of silk.

Science Fair Bunnies

Oh, no! The Science Fair is next week and Clyde's project, a row of wilted bean plants, is a goner. His older brother says he is in big trouble, and Clyde agrees... until his loose tooth gives him an idea, a really great idea. The question is, will Rosemary, his friend and science partner, be willing to give up her very first loose tooth? More importantly, will the Tooth Fairy understand that they did it in the name of science?

Tumble Bunnies

The Sports Spectacular is only a week away, and Clyde is worried. He's sure he won't get chosen for any team—not for the races, not for kickball, and not for T-ball. Then his best friend, Rosemary, tells him she's entering the tumbling event, an option that doesn't require any teams! Soon Clyde is practicing his somersaults, hops, and a trick he made up called the twirlyburly. But when something unexpected happens to his friend on the day of the Sports Spectacular, Clyde must find a way to help her—and still go on.
