Miss Malarkey vows to find each of her students a book to love by the end of the school year, but one video-game loving boy proves to be a challenge.

A first-grade boy is shocked, then pleased, when he discovers that his teacher has a life away from school.

Miss Malarkey takes her class on a field trip to the science museum, where they explore a dinosaur exhibit, watch a 3-D movie, and have many other adventures, both planned and unplanned.
