Meany Beany (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781945713613)

Second grade is off to a stinkin' start. There are classroom jobs. Scarlett does NOT think it is neat that she has the same name as a bean, and nobody is going to come to Gertie's 7th birthday party. Even her own family thinks that Gertie is the weird kid this year. Are her old friends going to stop liking her now too?

About the Series

Gertie Green (you'd better not call her Gertrude!) is a feisty first-grader with the spunk of Junie B. and the literal mind of Amelia Bedelia. Whether she's planting seeds or digging them back up, trying out a new purple veggie or rage gardening (Gertie-style), one thing you can be sure of is that she's going to solve her problem with the help of whatever she happens to be growing at the time. Each book features a different vegetable as a key part of the story and includes how-to-grow information for young gardeners.
