Pearl and Wagner: One Funny Day

Wagner is having a bad day. He oversleeps and has to rush to school. He falls for his friend Pearl's April Fools' joke-and his teacher's (and the librarian's). Just when he thinks he's catching on, he finds out that the math test isn't a joke. It's for real! Then Pearl chooses someone else as a partner for a dance contest, and she's not kidding around. It is one unfunny day for Wagner-until he comes up with a way to get the last laugh. Pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations.
