Gooney Bird Greene returns for more adventures in this chapter-book series from Newbery Medal-winner Lois Lowry, with Middy Thomas's black-and-white illustrations bringing the classroom to life throughout. Mrs. Pidgeon's second grade class has a lot to celebrate in February: presidents' birthdays, Valentine's Day, and school vacation. However, most of the class will be staying home during vacation. Gooney Bird Greene hatches a brilliant idea to keep spirits up by taking her classmates on a snowy spin through U.S. history and geography, despite many students discussing their exciting vacation plans.
