分章摘要 · 12 章
Ch.1 That Army Guy：二年级同学在课堂上朗读自编故事，A.J. 写了怪兽骑特技车打架的故事被说太暴力。正吵着，一个戴白假发、穿军装、拿佩剑的怪人闯进教室，说了一句关于备战与和平的话就走了。Miss Daisy 带全班排队去图书馆一探究竟。
Ch.2 The Librarian：同学们来到暑假新建的图书馆，中间竟然有一棵大树和树屋。Miss Daisy 说新图书管理员叫 Mrs. Roopy，可大家到处都找不到她。那个戴假发的军装怪人从树屋爬下来，敬了个礼，自称是美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿。
Ch.3 George Washington's Teeth：A.J. 要求看木牙作为证明，对方掏出一副会上下打颤的假牙，把 Emily 吓哭了。Andrea 说他就是 Mrs. Roopy 假扮的，他却坚称现在是 1790 年，电脑和厕所都还没发明。整节课他都以华盛顿身份讲故事、找书，还开玩笑说砍樱桃树是为了做木牙。
Ch.4 Dumbheads：午餐时同学们争论那人到底是不是华盛顿，Andrea 说那只是戴假发穿军装的 Mrs. Roopy。A.J. 突然想到：如果她能假扮华盛顿，也许她根本不是真的图书管理员。孩子们回教室问 Miss Daisy，她却说 Mrs. Roopy 今天请病假在家，来的一定是真华盛顿。
Ch.5 Mrs. Roopy's Hero：这次图书馆里出现的是正常打扮的 Mrs. Roopy，她否认自己来过，还掀衣服露出肚脐上的心形纹身证明自己不是华盛顿。她讲解小说与非小说的区别，A.J. 把 fiction 说成了 friction。她还介绍自己的偶像——发明杜威十进制分类法的图书馆员 Melvil Dewey，并弹吉他唱了一首关于他的歌。
Ch.6 Johnny Applesauce：下一次图书馆课，一个留长胡子、穿背带裤、光着脚、头顶铁锅的人从树屋下来，自称是 1800 年的 Johnny Appleseed。无论大家怎么说，他都不承认自己是 Mrs. Roopy。他讲苹果的故事，还带全班到操场边种了一棵真苹果树，并发苹果当点心。
Ch.7 One Small Step for Man：孩子们断定 Mrs. Roopy 是个疯疯癫癫的人，Michael 提议按当警察的爸爸的办法取指纹作证据，还带了果汁盒。可这次图书馆一片漆黑，一个穿宇航服的人慢动作爬下梯子，自称是 1969 年的尼尔·阿姆斯特朗。他婉拒了果汁，讲了一节课的太空书，指纹计划落空。
Ch.8 Nursery Rhyme Week：这一周没有图书馆课，全校在教室里过童谣周。小波比、Jill、小玛菲特小姐等童谣人物接连出现，每次都否认自己是 Mrs. Roopy，还总在 Michael 递果汁前跑掉。整整一周，鹅妈妈童谣里的人物在学校各处冒出来，A.J. 逢人就说他们该去三楼的地牢找。
Ch.9 Mrs. Roopy's Problem：Andrea 反常地安静，原来她在担心 Mrs. Roopy。她说妈妈是心理学家，讲过有些人会有多重人格，分不清现实和幻想。大家听了都觉得事情严重，决定帮助 Mrs. Roopy，A.J. 想出了一个办法。
Ch.10 The Evidence：课间休息时五个孩子溜进空无一人的图书馆，摸黑进了 Mrs. Roopy 的办公室。他们在壁橱里发现了华盛顿的军装、小波比的裙子、Johnny Appleseed 的背带裤和宇航服——全部证据。Mrs. Roopy 突然开灯抓住他们，被质问时竟大哭起来，理由却是：华盛顿把制服落这儿了，他现在肯定光着身子到处跑。
Ch.11 Just Admit It!：即使证据确凿，Mrs. Roopy 还是不承认。Andrea 说她处于“否认”状态，决定报告校长 Mr. Klutz。他们赶到图书馆时，Mrs. Roopy 塞得胖乎乎地躺在地上，自称是从墙上摔下来的 Humpty Dumpty，还说本名叫 Lumpy。A.J. 说什么都无聊，惹得她伤心追问，他答道：特技自行车不无聊。
Ch.12 The Proof：点心时间，Mrs. Roopy 戴护具穿着“Bikers 4 Books”T恤骑特技车冲进教室，自称是职业特技车手。A.J. 去掀她衣服想用心形纹身作证，结果掉出三本书，巧克力布丁飞溅到她肚子上，纹身仍隐约可见，Michael 喊出“证据就在布丁里”。掉出的正是三本特技自行车的书，从此连 A.J. 都抢着借书读了。

25
A.J. says "Fiction is what you get when you rub two things together." What word did he mix up, and what do fiction and nonfiction really mean?A.J. 把哪个词弄混了？fiction 和 nonfiction 到底是什么意思？
Ans: He mixed up "fiction" with "friction." Fiction is a made-up story; nonfiction is based on facts.他把 fiction（虚构故事）听成了 friction（摩擦力）。fiction 指编出来的故事，nonfiction 指基于事实的书。这是靠发音相近制造的笑点。

Ans: "Board" and "bored" are homophones. The Board of Education is the group that runs schools; "bored of education" means tired of school.board（委员会）和 bored（厌烦的）同音。教育委员会 vs.“我厌烦上学”，A.J. 用同音词把正经词组变成了抱怨。
28

Ans: The idiom means you can only judge something by actually trying it or seeing the results. In chapter 12 chocolate pudding really splashes on Mrs. Roopy and reveals her heart tattoo, so the proof is literally in the pudding.这个习语意为“好不好要看实际结果”。第12章巧克力布丁真的溅到 Mrs. Roopy 肚子上，露出心形纹身，字面意义上“证据就在布丁里”。
29

Ans: Nonsense (no sense) and nonfiction (not made up); the prefix "non-" means "not." "Loopy" means silly, crazy, or a little strange.nonsense（没道理）、nonfiction（非虚构），前缀 non- 表示“非、不”。loopy 是俚语，意为“疯疯癫癫的、傻乎乎的”，书名说 Mrs. Roopy 很“癫”，还与 Roopy 押韵。
