As the new school year starts, Tomie celebrates his sixth birthday in first grade, with cake in the classroom, great presents, and a surprise too! Soon it's time for Tomie's first Halloween trick-or-treating with his brother. He dresses up as one of his favorite characters from a Walt Disney movie - will any of the nieghbors guess who is inside the costume? After Thanksgiving comes the Christmas season, and Tomie is stranded at home with the chicken pox - will he still get to play his part in the pageant? Finally, it's New Year's Eve, and lucky Tomie gets to stay up to see the New Year in! In his inimitable way, Tomie dePaola takes readers once more into his childhood with more fun and funny memories from the Newberry Honor-winning address: 26 Fairmount Avenue.
