Introducing the playground problem solver who uses quick thinking, practicality, tenacity, love of reading, and a little creative perspective to help her schoolmates out of their stickiest jams; From the author of Help Wanted: Must Love Books and the illustrator of Hello World!

Regina Grey's never had much of a knack for anything, apart from disappearing into her books. She muddles her math, splutters her spelling, and gets jumbled up in gym.

She can solve any problem. Itchy cast? Here's a stick to get to the spot. Gum stuck in your hair? Snip, snip solved. It's like she's a genius--a recess genius.

But all that problem solving for other kids doesn't leave much time for escaping in her books. Can the Recess Genius use her magical power to solve her own dilemma? (Ages 4-7)

A boy who loves to dance wants to be a pirate, but the pirate captain has a rule against dancing.

Jack longs to be a pirate. He loves everything about the job, from the opportunity to make new friends to the excitement of exotic travel. Jack also loves to dance, from the graceful glide of the glissade to the energetic leap of the grand jйtй. In fact, Jack often dances as he does his pirate apprentice chores. Unfortunately, Captain Squinty Eye's number one rule is PIRATES DON'T DANCE. Dancing is too silly for a rough, tough pirate. Can Jack convince the captain that dancing is not a bad thing, and may even help Jack be a better pirate? (Back matter includes explanations of dance movements and definitions of pirate speak.) (Ages 4-8)
