Judy Moody Was in a Mood. Not a Good Mood. A Bad Mood.

The next day, Judy is disappointed that her plant has not digested all its bugs yet but brings it to show the class for Share and Tell anyway. She is so preoccupied with her Share and Tell plans that she forgets her Me Collage folder at home, and Mr. Todd reminds her to bring it back to school to keep working on it. Judy excitedly introduces the class to her new pet, Jaws, which she will feature on her Me Collage as her favorite pet.

Judy is excited to receive a doll in the mail, which she earned by saving up the tops of Band-Aid boxes. The doll is her first “patient” so she can practice being a doctor, like her role model Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor in the United States. Her new doll is called “Hedda-Get-Betta.” Judy is excited to crank the doll to turn her from sick to healthy.

As Judy is preparing her doctor’s kit, Stink cranks the doll’s head, and it gets stuck on the chicken pox setting. Judy is annoyed but decides to cover her patient with Band-Aids. When she carefully changes the setting, the doll becomes healthy again, and Judy is thrilled.
