Cody Harmon, King of Pets (Franklin School Friends)

Written by Claudia Mills and Illustrated by Rob Shepperson

Cody Harmon doesn't love reading, math, spelling, or really any of the subjects that Miss Molina teaches in her third-grade class. But he lives on a farm and he loves animals―he even has nine pets―so when the school holds a pet-show fund-raiser, it should be his time to shine. In the end, Cody figures out a way to lend out his pets so that every person in the class (and every pet) gets to participate in the show.
