The Nankipooh Enquirer: 5th Grade at Nankipooh School

I had never bothered to comb my hair except when I went to church on Sunday, and most of the time my mother combed it for me, cause after all, who cares about your hair when you are ten years old.  Well after that first week in Miss Ledford’s class.
