The Cover
As great men, in their formative years, often are driven by a thirst for knowledge along the line of their budding genius, let us assume that little James, there, is destined to be a world-renowned zoologist. If you can't quite swallow that assumption, oh, be a nice reader and come along for the ride anyway.

This being settled, will it not be psychologically frustrating misfortune if Miss Schooley looks over that young scientist's shoulder and then vows explosively that she'll make a historian of him if he stays after school till doomsday? Yes, and it will also be misfortune if the frog leaps upon her, causing her to scream. Before this educational problem gets any more complex, maype we'd better assume the frog isn't in Dick Sargent's painting at all, and stop worrying about it.
