Eugene
A turtle named Eugene is excited to be headed off for his first day of school but on his way still manages to find the time to help a stranger who is frightened by a bug. Grateful to Eugene for his help, the stranger serves him a wonderful pancake breakfast after which Eugene continues his walk to school. Upon reaching the schoolyard, Eugene is horrified to discover that his new teacher has a reputation as a real meanie. However, when Eugene meets his teacher both he and she are in for a big surprise. Watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations accompany the text.
