:

Mysterious Moe: When Elsie accidentally kicks a ball into a neighbor's yard, she and the kids are reluctant to retrieve it when Mimi and Marci say that it's the home of "Mysterious Moe." Moe is apparently a strange man who prefers to be alone and has the power to turn people invisible. Everyone is scared of the story except Dennis, who is sure that the story is just a rumor. He has everyone venture into The Great Big Book of Everything to meet a mysterious animal (an orangutan) to show them that sometimes we only fear things because they're unknown to us. Spelling Bee Situation: After Mimi becomes the spelling bee champion of Ms. Diaz's class, Ms. Diaz agrees to a competition with Mr. Bartalone's class. Pleased to know a champion speller, Marci and Stanley ask Mimi to help them practice, but soon find that Mimi's championship status has gone to her head. As she bosses them around, they begin to despair of getting any real practice done. When Mrs. Griff suggests that Mimi is behaving like a "queen bee," the expression sparks an interest in learning more about real bees. Inside The Great Big Book of Everything, Mimi learns something surprising about these buzzy creatures.
