Paddy and Jess each had a vegetable garden.
“My vegetables are big and juicy,” said Paddy.
“Yours are small.”
“I know,” said Jess, but she didn’t seem upset.
Paddy and Jess started to pick their vegetables.
“How is your bag so full?” asked Paddy.
“It’s a secret,” said Jess. “You will find out later.”
Paddy and Jess wanted to give some
vegetables to their friends. First, they went to the
bakery. Paddy gave the baker a big, juicy lettuce.
Then they went to the grocery store. Jess gave
the grocer ten beans.
“I’m sorry they are so thin,” she said.
Next, they saw a police officer. Paddy gave her
eight carrots.

One morning, Duck looked at the pond in the
woods. It was covered with leaves. “I will clean up
the pond for Frog,” she said.
Duck swam through the leaves. She gathered
them up in her beak. She put them in a pile at the
edge of the pond.
Then Duck picked up the leaves and dropped
them under the trees in the woods. “Frog will never
guess who cleaned up the pond,” she said when
she had finished.
Duck sat in her nest. “What a surprise Frog will
get,” she thought. “He will be pleased.” Soon Duck
was fast asleep.
While Duck slept, the wind blew.

Lucy wanted a bird for her birthday. The whole
family went to the pet shop.
“There must be a hundred birds here!” said
Thomas, her little brother. It seemed like that to
Lucy, too. She looked and looked.
“I want a different sort of bird than all of these,”
she said.
Finally, Lucy found the one she wanted. It was
a cute little parakeet with green feathers and small
bright eyes.
Lucy carried the parakeet home very carefully.
She named him Billy. Lucy told Dad, “I chose a
parakeet because they can learn to talk. I’m going
to teach him!”
“It will take Billy a while to learn,” smiled Dad.

go to the town swimming pool today. We can take
some food and have a picnic while we’re there.”
“Great idea!” cried Ray. “I love swimming, and I
love picnics, too!”
Ray and Pops packed their swimming trunks

said Pops, “and our hats.”
Nana packed the food in a picnic basket. Then
they left for the pool.
At the pool, Ray said, “Come on, Pops! Let’s

Long ago, both Heron and Hummingbird ate
fish. Hummingbird, who was tiny and fast, ate tiny
fish. Heron, who was big and slow, ate big fish.
One day, Hummingbird shared with Heron
what he had been thinking,
“There may not always be enough fish for all
the birds like us,” said Hummingbird.
“There may not be,” agreed Heron.
“Perhaps only one of us should eat fish,”
Heron suggested.
“Shall we have a race to decide who that will
be?” asked Hummingbird.
“That seems fair,” said Heron.
They decided they would race to a tree they

Max lives next door. He’s only little, and
sometimes I help his mom look after him.
Last year, when it was Max’s third birthday,
I made him a cool present. I got the idea for his
present from a store.
I saw a chart there. “I have a question, Mom,”
I said. “What is that chart for?”
“It’s a chart to show how tall children are,”
answered Mom. “Stand against it, Carla, and I’ll tell
you how tall you are.”
I decided to make Max a chart for his birthday.
That night, I painted zoo animals on the chart. I
had to draw them first, and then I painted
the colors.
I remember Mom saying, “I sure hope Max
won’t worry about the lion. It looks so fierce!”

Riding Bicycles: Long Ago and Today Teacher Guide
Imagine it is the year 1865. You are riding a
bicycle made out of wood. It has steel wheels.
The hard wheels bump along the road. The bicycle
shakes badly, and so do you. The bicycle is called
a boneshaker.
Now imagine it is the year 1871. You are riding
a bicycle with a large front wheel and a small back
wheel. You are sitting up really high. You have to
be careful that you don’t fall off!
The bicycle is called a penny farthing. A penny
was a large English coin and a farthing was a very
small English coin. It was usually brave people
who rode penny farthings!
In the 1870s, most girls learned to cook and
sew. They did not often ride bicycles.

The Rabbit Suit Rescue
The Rabbit Suit RescueTeacher Guide
It was the day before the class play. The young
woman from the costume store brought all the
costumes to school. There were rabbits, mice,
squirrels, and owls.
“Remember,” Mr. Orlowski told the children,
“leave your costumes at school. They’re pretty
tough, but if you take them home, they might
get damaged.”
Joseph was so excited about his rabbit suit.
He just had to take it home to show his little
brother, Dan.
At home, Joseph showed Dan the rabbit suit.
“Look,” said Joseph, “I even have huge, furry
rabbit shoes to wear.”
Joseph lifted the suit above his head and
pulled it on over his clothes. He hopped all around
the room.
Dan laughed, “I am going to catch the rabbit!”
Joseph hopped as fast as he could.

Have you ever been to a desert? It hardly ever
rains there. A desert can be a very hot place. Even
so, many animals and their babies live there.
Desert Tortoise Babies
Desert tortoise babies hatch out of eggs. The
mother lays only one or two eggs at a time. She
does not touch her eggs again.
An interesting thing happens to the eggs.
In warm sand, they hatch into female tortoises.
In cool sand, they hatch into male tortoises.
After hatching, the babies go under the sand to
stay cool.
Bighorn Sheep Babies
When a bighorn sheep baby is born, it stays
with its mother for a few weeks. The mother
takes care of the baby. She protects it from
other animals.
Soon the baby will group together with other
bighorn sheep babies.

There is an orchestra in my town. When I hear
the music, I feel like I am going on a journey.
I see pictures in my head and experience
different feelings.
Look at all the instruments in the orchestra.
There are four families of instruments. They are
called string, woodwind, brass, and percussion.
Each instrument family has its own sound.
At the front of the orchestra is the string family.
The viola is the smallest string instrument. The harp
is the biggest. It is bigger than I am!
The woodwind family is behind the string
family. The piccolo makes the highest note. It
makes me think of a little bird. The contrabassoon
makes the lowest note.
The brass family is behind the woodwind
family. The brass instruments make the loudest

Happen
Madam C. J. Walker: Making Dreams Happen Teacher Guide
Madam C. J. Walker was one of America’s most
inspiring and successful African American women.
She often said, “I got my start by giving myself a start.”
Madam Walker’s real name was Sarah Breedlove.
Sarah was born in Delta, Louisiana. She lived with her
parents on a cotton farm.
By the time she was five-years-old, Sarah was
working in the fields. She carried water, and she
planted seeds for the new cotton crop.
Sarah’s parents died when she was seven-years-
old. A few years later, she and her sister worked in
Vicksburg, Mississippi. They worked for people and
washed clothes.
Sarah married young. Two years after her
daughter was born, Sarah’s husband died.
She and her daughter then moved to
St. Louis.
For seventeen years, Sarah worked
washing clothes.

Mr. Miro invited us into his living room. We all sat
down and I told him my idea. I wanted to plant trees
on the lots to make our play area more like a park.
“That’s a great idea, Jackson. This city needs more
parks!” said Mr. Miro.
That afternoon, Mom helped me write a letter.
That evening, we delivered the letter to all the
apartments near the lots.
Mr. Miro has kindly agreed to let us plant trees on
his vacant lots.
If you can donate a tree, please bring it to the lots
at 2:00 P.M. this Saturday.
Finally, Saturday arrived. People came with small
trees. One man even brought two. He had found a
bargain at a tree sale—two for the price of one.
All the neighbors started digging. The children
already knew each other. The parents exchanged
names and got to know each other, too.

“Monkey,” said the doctor, “I don’t believe

“I’m sorry,” Monkey whispered. “When I saw

“Giraffe is going home today, and you can
go home too,” smiled the doctor. “Perhaps the
zookeeper can make your bed softer.”
Later, when Monkey and Giraffe got back to the
zoo, Monkey called to all the animals.
“I have to admit that I didn’t really hurt myself,”
he said. “I only pretended to be hurt so that I could
try out the soft beds at the hospital. I’m sorry! I

The Ant
The Ant Teacher Guide
Ants are insects. They have six legs and three
parts to their bodies. Some ants have a stinger.
There are thousands of different types of ants.
The group of ants living in a nest is called a
colony. The ants in the colony work together.
The ants that look after the nest are called
worker ants. Worker ants are female ants that don’t
lay eggs.
Each worker ant has a job. Some look after the
eggs. Some make the nest bigger. Some collect
food, such as fruit and insects, to feed the colony.
Some defend the nest and attack enemies, such as
other insects and bigger animals.
Each colony has a queen ant. Only she can lay
eggs. A queen ant is bigger than a worker ant. She
lays many eggs. The eggs are tiny.
When the eggs hatch, larvae come out. Ant
larvae look like little worms.

Orangutans
Orangutans Teacher Guide
Orangutans live in the rain forests of Sumatra
and Borneo. They are islands in southeast Asia.
Orangutans sleep in nests made from crumpled
leaves and branches.
In 1971, Biruté went to Borneo to study orangutans.
At that time, little was known about these apes.
She set up camp in two small huts in the forest.
She called it Camp Leakey.
Biruté observed baby orangutans, cradled in
their mothers’ arms. When they are first born, baby
orangutans cling to their mothers’ raggedy, orange fur.
Before long they begin to climb and play. Mothers care
for their young until they are about nine-years-old.
Young orangutans learn from their mothers which
foods are good to eat. Biruté learned that orangutans
will eat over four hundred different types of food, such
as fruit, leaves, and insects. She has even tried some
of this food herself!

Teacher: Good morning, Mrs. North. Three of my students
would like to ask you some questions.
Mrs. North: Of course. What would you like to know?
Pedro: We want to ask you about the new playground.
Sarah: Then we will report back to our classmates.
Mrs. North: Who is going to start?
Carmel: I will. Why are you building a new playground at
our school?
Mrs. North: The old playground is not big enough. The
new playground will have better equipment. I hope it will
be the best in the area.
Pedro: How did you decide what the playground
should have?
Mrs. North: I must admit that it was extremely difficult.
Teacher: That’s true.
Mrs. North: A group of teachers exchanged ideas with
students and their parents. We asked them to draw plans
of what they would like the playground to look like. Many
plans were delivered to my office.

said, “I’m looking for a fruit like a star. It must be soft and

“Hmm,” grunted Papa, “what about that starfish in

Mai laughed. The starfish was beautiful, but it was not
soft and yellow!
Mai watched Aunty cutting pineapple for lunch.
“Aunty,” she said, “I’m looking for a fruit like a star. It

“This pineapple is soft and yellow, and sweet!”
said Aunty. “I can cut it into star shapes!”
The pineapple was delicious! Mai’s hands were

Mai saw Grandfather sitting in his chair. “Grandfather,”
she said gently, “I’m looking for a star fruit, soft and yellow

Who Is Dr. Seuss?Teacher Guide
Theodor (Ted) Seuss Geisel was born in 1904, in
Springfield, Massachusetts. He became well-known
as Dr. Seuss, the writer and illustrator of many
children’s books.
When Ted was little, he sometimes had trouble
sleeping. His mother would repeat rhymes to help him
go to sleep. Ted also liked to read rhyming books.
At school, Ted loved to write. He would write things
to go in the school paper. He started to put his middle
name, “Seuss,” on his work.
Ted went to college in England to become a
teacher. He would often include drawings on his
school work. Another student saw his drawings. She
thought he should become an artist instead of a
teacher. Her name was Helen Palmer.
Ted did become an artist, and he married Helen.
When he left college, he got a job drawing cartoons
for newspapers and magazines. He also did
advertisements. He signed his drawings “Dr. Seuss.”

Let’s Discover Gold
Let’s Discover GoldTeacher Guide
Around 6,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians
learned how to mine and use gold. They separated
the gold from the rock found in the hills by the
Red Sea.
Gold became very important to the Egyptians.
They used it to make art and jewelry. Many ancient
gold objects have been found in the famous
pyramids in Egypt.
Gold can last a long time. It never rusts or rots.
Beautiful gold objects are sometimes found in the
ground or in the sea thousands of years after they
were buried. When the objects are discovered,
they are still perfect! Gold is easy to work with. It
is a soft metal, so it can easily be made into
different shapes. It can be bent or rolled or
twisted without breaking.
A small piece of gold can be beaten into a
large sheet or pulled into a long wire!

Long ago, Forest gave each animal its own
home—each animal, that is, except for Tortoise.
He was forgotten.
Lizard was given a home between the rocks.
On hot days, Lizard could be seen scampering up
on the rocks to lie in the warm sun.
Crab’s home was in a hole in the sand, under a
coconut palm. The hole was cool and dark inside. It
was the perfect home for Crab.
Snake was given a home beneath the fallen
leaves of the forest. The leaves sheltered him from
storms and hid him from other animals.
Owl’s home was a hole in a majestic, old tree.
The hole was dark and cozy. It kept Owl hidden
until night when he would come out to hunt.
The animals thanked Forest for their homes.
They were all happy, except for Tortoise.
One night, a terrible storm came.
