When Mrs. Barnes declares that "It's Apple Day," Dumpy wants to help and finally gets his chance once all of the apples are picked and made into pies, apple butter, and candy apples.

When disaster strikes in the form of rain on Aunt Sue's wedding day, flower girl and self-proclaimed fairy princess Geraldine finds a way to bring sunshine to the party, reminding everyone that the most important thing at a wedding is the most special sparkle of all--happiness and love.

Charlie, who is nervous about his first day of school, and Dumpy the Dumptruck, who is nervous about his first construction job, gradually adjust to their new settings after making new friends.

As the school year draws to an end, Gerry has a hard time finding her sparkle knowing that she will say goodbye to her teacher, Miss Pym, and class pet Houdini, and start anew in a classroom where she may not be recognized as a very fairy princess.

Offers poems, lullabies, and songs from various writers and artists, including William Wordsworth and Jack Pretlusky.
