In their fourth adventure, classroom mice Fergus and Zeke—after a few false starts—jump into a creative project to help the kids mark the one hundredth day of school. Fergus and Zeke love being the class pets in Miss Maxwell’s classroom, and they do everything the students do. But when the kids start collecting items and doing gym challenges and making projects to celebrate the one hundredth day of school, the mice can’t seem to find a way to join in. One hundred miles is a very long distance when you’re running on your spinny wheel. One hundred seconds is a very short time when you’re trying to take a nap. Stacking one hundred wood chips makes a tower that tips and falls before you’re even halfway done. And writing a story with exactly one hundred words means abandoning your characters in the middle of the action! Will these two classroom mice ever come up with the perfect project to celebrate the one hundredth day?

Fergus and Zeke are the class pets in Miss Maxwell's classroom, and they feel a responsibility to participate in all the activities the children do. As they see the children beginning projects for the 100th Day of School, they, too, try to come up with a project that will work, but project after project idea fails.
This book takes on, in a very light and casual way, the ideas of resilience, of finding work that is suitable for you, on trying things and moving on when an idea doesn't work. Fergus and Zeke are completely likable characters, and both the text and the illustrations are delightful.
