A Better Place: A Stretch2smart Book
By Mary Jane Zakas and Roberta Jean Owen
()
About this ebook
Roberta discovers her town is moving forward with plans for a botanical garden to preserve plants for many generations. Hopefully, there will be enough like-minded people to make it happen, and she’ll even donate a quilt to the auction to help out. While waiting for the event to come together, she and William decide to take a fishing trip—one that turns out to be a bigger venture than expected when a strong storm hits!
This illustrated children’s verse follows the adventures of Roberta and William as they make plans to contribute to their community and find themselves on a fishing adventure.
This illustrated verse includes an appendix of interesting facts taken from various elements in the story, designed to pique the curiosity of the reader and stimulate self-guided learning. A second STRETCH2SMART appendix provides three difficulty levels for parents and educators who want young readers to develop broader thinking skills.
