… A Kindergarten Catastrophe!
With a fix-it kit just like Grandpa’s, Polka-dot is ready for her first day of kindergarten.
Or is she?
Duct tape, runny soap and dotted bandages worked wonders for her scrapes and snafus at home. But they’re not quite a match for her kindergarten catastrophes. And when it comes to dealing with the mean words of stripe-loving Liz, Polka-dot finds herself in a fix that requires something more….
 Can Polka-dot’s handy kit help her fix a bad day and mend her relationship with Liz? Learn more.
