Joan, Thank you for mentioning my book, Star for the Week! It follows my book Crazy Hair Day, about Stanley Birdbaum (a hamster who looks a lot like a football) I also wrote and illustrated, Stanley and the Class Pet which was inspired by my bringing bird home from school for the weekend..... ALL classroom inspired stories. Thanks again for the mention. Sincerely, Barney Saltzberg
