The Remarkable Friendship of Aristotle & Burgoo

By James L. Robbins and Joel Ray Pellerin

Aristotle, a small, shy cloud, and Burgoo, a happy fun-loving pelican, are the best of friends that spend all their time together.

One day Aristotle is told he does not act like a cloud and he must go to Thunderstorm School...without Burgoo! Aristotle learns that Thunderstorm School is not the school for him while Burgoo makes a plan to see his friend again. Together they hatch a plan to find a school they can go to together. Even at the new school they encounter new problems!

With a friendship as REMARKABLE as Aristotle and Burgoo's, friends can overcome any problem.
