Sweet Briar Goes to School
Kindergarten-Grade 1-Sweet Briar, a small and slightly odiferous female skunk, is new to Miss Chickory's class and is shunned by the other students. However, the school faces bigger problems since a local wolf has been spotted in the nearby woods. When he snatches one of the youngsters during recess, Sweet Briar bravely acts to save the loudest of her tormentors and earns the friendship of all. Warm watercolor art with a broad range of cartoon animal expressions fills the pages of this traditional story of a misfit who forces those around her to look beyond the surface to see her sweet nature. Children just entering school will relate to her determination and swing of emotions. They will also appreciate the sweet smell of success.Mary Elam, Forman Elementary School, Plano, TXCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
