The perfect chapter book!
The Pain and the Great One hardly agree on anything. But deep down, they know they can count on each other, especially at school, where it often takes two to figure things out. Like when that first baby tooth falls out on the school bus. Or when an unwanted visitor on Bring Your Pet to School Day needs to be caught. Or worst of all, when a scary bully says you’re burnt toast. On days like these it can feel good not to go it alone. (And don’t forget Fluzzy the cat, who knows a thing or two himself.)
While Ugo and Sim Sim are playing, Sim Sim is called away for her sessions with Mrs. Rotimi. Ugo is disappointed that he can’t join his sister. Mummy sits him down and explains what Down Syndrome is and why Sim Sim sometimes needs extra help with learning new skills.
When you find something strange and wonderful, do you put it in your pocket? Meet nine scientists who, as kids, explored the great outdoors and collected “treasures”: seedpods, fossils, worms, and more. Observing, sorting, and classifying their finds taught these kids scientific skills–and sometimes led to groundbreaking discoveries.
