Product Description
Product Description
Lots of exciting things are happening to Grace and her friends but the two most exciting things are 1) Mimi's older cousin Gwen is coming to stay with Mimi and 2) Miss Lois's class is GOING GREEN! For their "green" project, Grace and Mimi aim to inspire their friends and classmates to conserve plastic bottles. But a far more important issue is that Gwen has taken a strong liking to Mimi's favorite stuffed toy, Willoughby. Just Grace uses her empathy superpower to help figure out ways to make her best friend feel better, and turns out she makes a difference for the environment, too. Yard sales, toy owls, decorated plastic water bottles, flaming onion rings, and a very entrepreneurial Sammy Stringer make this another wining entry in the "Just Grace" series.

This review is from: Just Grace Goes Green (Paperback)
This is the fifth book in the JUST GRACE series for younger school students.Grace is in the third grade. Her teacher, Miss Lois, is teaching a unit on going green. Grace and her best friend, Mimi, have to do a project for the unit. Mimi's older cousin is coming to visit and both girls are excited. This is a great series for upper elementary students who are struggling with reading. Grace is likable and funny. There are also many facts about what pollution is doing to our planet. Did you know that every time you flush the toilet that you use 3.5 gallons of water? When you compare that to families in third world countries who live on only 10 gallons a day, that makes you think. My favorite part was when they had to design a superhero costume for conserving the planet. That was super creative and something I am going to steal for my own class! Reviewed by: Marta Morrison

This review is from: Just Grace Goes Green (Paperback)
Just Grace is such an adorable character, and this fourth installment does not disappoint.This time, Just Grace's teacher decides it's time to teach the kids how to go green. Just Grace takes this assignment to heart, but at the same time she is dealing with a new (temporary) presence in her life. 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful
