So when class 3T starts to study the Amazing Human Body, Judy can hardly wait to begin her better-than-best-ever third-grade projects: show and tell with something way rarer than a scab, a real-live, ooey-gooey operation, and a cloning experiment that may create double trouble for Judy and her friends.
