Gooney the Fabulous
“At lunchtime, in the multipurpose room, all of Mrs. Pidgeon's second-graders sat together and traded lunch parts, as they always did.
"Anyone want some of my sushi?" asked Gooney Bird Greene. "This one is called kappa maki. It's mostly cucumber." She held up a small glistening cylinder.

"That's seaweed," Keiko explained.
"Yuck," Barry replied.

"I'll take it, if the jelly isn't mooshing out," Chelsea said. "Let me see." She examined the sandwich half carefully.
"Okay. I'll give you five carrot slices and an oatmeal cookie for it." All around the table the second-graders made their trades. "YESSS!" Malcolm said suddenly.MoreLess
