Mr. McMusty, the mascot of Michael McPherson Elementary, is thrilled to spend recess with the first graders. Sun, fun, and games are on his mind, but he learns that meaningful lessons can be taught at recess. While most first graders are excited to see the fudge-colored horse with large yellow eyes and an orange mane, some curious kids require Mr. McMusty to use his wit and charm to withstand encounters of the first grade kind. Inquisitive Charlie, sticky-handed Casey, runny-nosed Sara, and highbrow Bailey are no match for Mr. McMusty! The horse befriends Steven James, who needs some TLC, and Sofia, a new student to Michael McPherson Elementary. He dances, he sings, and he does it all! Mr. McMusty will warm your heart and make you smile. Going to school is not so scary when you have a friend like Mr. McMusty!
