Katie looks forward to celebrating her birthday at school, and then finds a way to make it even more special when her friend Pedro mentions that he has a summer birthday.
As Katie, her parents, and friends celebrate Independence Day with a parade, games, a picnic, and fireworks, the few things that go wrong do not interfere with their fun.
As Career Day at school approaches, Katie has great ideas for helping her friends present their future professions, but cannot think of a job that she would like to do.
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.
