(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Roth. Richard's class project is to create a new cereal, and he's discouraged when he's paired up with the class bully, Kevin. Their unusual class pet, a tarantula named Ruby, inspires Richard to help a younger boy stand up to Kevin. The theme is familiar, but the text is humorous and not saccharine. Many young readers will relate to Richard's experience.
