Oliver and Company

Despite his mother's protests, Oliver determines to care for a homeless baby alligator until he can find its owner.

Oliver combines his job caring for a barnful of calves with entering a contest at the county fair.

When Oliver reluctantly takes on a pet-sitting job with a menagerie of birds during Christmas vacation in which he had planned to compete in a snow sculpture contest, a naughty parrot escapes to further complicate his life.

A visit to the circus with his classmates gives Oliver an idea about how to raise money for a much needed animal shelter.
