The dot: Vashti thinks she can't draw. No, Vashti knows she can't draw! To prove her point, she jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery; Beautiful moon: With the help of a wish on a moonlit night, a little girl's fantasy becomes reality. In a wink the beautiful moon understands the desire for a day that never ends and grants her wish. See how constant daylight affects the world around her and eventually the attitude toward her wish; Enemy pie: It was the perfect summer. That is, until Jeremy Ross moved into the house down the street and became neighborhood enemy number one. Luckily Dad had a surefire way to get rid of enemies. Enemy pie; Lola at the library: Lola loves Tuesdays because that is the day she and her mother go to the library. Everything about the trip is an exciting adventure, from packing her backpack with books and her all-important library card, to storytimes and singing, to choosing new books and the walk home, when they always stop for a special treat. But the best time of all is when Mommy reads her story at bedtime; Pet peeves: Dennis has a great idea for making money. But it won't work unless he can get his bossy big brother to help out. That's no easy job
