Pedro (Fran Manushkin)

Pedro runs for class president against his friend Katie Woo.

Pedro would love to be the goalie in the team's first game, but another boy is bigger--so all his friends come over to help him practice before the tryout.

Pedro is excited for his class's trip to the aquarium, but when he gets separated from the others near the shark tank, he gets frightened and starts running to and fro--until he takes a hint from the shark to stop going in circles.

On Pirate Day at school, all the children dress up as pirates, and Pedro and his friends, Katie and JoJo, continue the theme in their clubhouse after school--but they all want to be the pirate captain.

Pedro's family and his friends are spending the day at the amusement park, enjoying the rides and the snacks, so when they get separated from Pedro's brother, Paco, and their mother, a ride on the Ferris wheel seems like it offers an excellent way to spot Paco in the crowded park.

When Pedro breaks his arm racing his bike he has to cope with the frustration of wearing a cast for a whole month--but with the help of his friends he discovers that there are still fun things to do.
