Once there was a family. Their name was Baker. They had many children. Twelve of them. The Baker’s Dozen.

It’s back-to-school time for our favorite family, the warm, loving, and oh-so-happy Bakers. There’s smiles, laughter, and… Hold on! If everyone’s so happy, why is Yochie frowning? Just because the others are working on a super-exciting project and she’s missing out… And if everyone’s so happy, why does Donny look so sad? Everyone’s telling him he’s a big boy, now that he’s in first grade. Trouble is, he doesn’t feel all grown up!
And if everyone’s so happy, what’s that nervous look on Chezky’s face? Can it have something to do with the never-ending fight that’s been going on between him and Binyamin Bernstein?

Well, if everyone’s so miserable, why are there so many laughs in this book? That’s easy—because this is the Baker’s Dozen, that wonderful, funny family we’ve grown to love!
