Pearl and Wagner Series : Titles in Order

Book 5
Pearl and Wagner have only five days left in the school year with their awesome teacher, Ms. Star, and Pearl is not excited about next year’s teacher, Ms. Bean. Pearl imagines taking spelling tests with super-hard words, doing one hundred jumping jacks every morning, and counting backward–by sevens! Pearl announces she’s going to stay in Ms. Star’s class forever. But is Ms. Bean as bad as she seems?

The delightful fifth book in the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning series shows how a best friend and a new perspective can change everything.
Book 4
There’s an eye toast toady, er, that’s eye test today at school, but Wagner can’t see the board. As his best friend Pearl says, “It’s glasses time!” But Wagner hates his new glasses-they make him look like a guppy, and a mean old bully calls him “Four Eyes.” Wagner vows to never wear his glasses again, until Pearl and all his friends give themselves inspired new nicknames just like his. Suddenly, “Four Eyes” has a nice ring to it . . . and being able to see isn’t so bad, either! The delightful fourth book in the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning series shows how a best friend and a new perspective can change everything.

Book 3
Pearl and Wagner are back, and they are full of secrets: Wagner tells Pearl an embarrassing secret, Pearl tells Wagner a surprising secret, and Lulu tells Wagner a secret that turns out not to be a secret at all. On a school field trip and at a birthday party, Pearl and Wagner learn that some secrets can bring friends closer together, while others can cause all sorts of trouble. In the end, no secret will ever come between Pearl and Wagner!

Beginning readers will laugh and recognize a little of themselves on every page of this charming, warm, and funny book about friendship.
Book 2
Level 3. Pearl and Wagner are two good friends who make a trash-eating robot together, impress a judge at the science fair, and tell each other the truth (even when it hurts!). They may be two very different individuals – Pearl, a hardworking rabbit and Wagner, a daydreaming mouse – but they know how to make up and stay good friends no matter what. This easy-to-read book is the first book in the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning Pearl and Wagner series.
Book 1
Wagner has been fooled by just about everyone this April Fools’ Day–his best friend Pearl, his teacher, and even the librarian. Tired of being on the receiving end of all the pranks, Wagner is determined to have the last laugh. This easy-to-read installment of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning Pearl and Wagner series promises a whole lot of giggles for young readers!
