Summary

An irrepressible third grader’s school project to help the planet causes chaos instead in this funny, accessible chapter book. 
 
Marty McGuire’s third-grade class has a special assignment: Save the Earth! Even more exciting, the best project wins a special award. Marty’s pretty sure her classmates’ ideas won’t stand a chance against her plan to turn the garbage from the school cafeteria into fertilizer. All she needs is a little help from her teammate and best friend, Annie—and the worms in her grandma’s garden. But it turns out that worms are awfully SLOW eaters. And when the critters escape, the whole class starts grumbling. Can Marty save the Earth without losing her friends?

    “Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” 
 
Winnie-the-Pooh is a loveable bear with a forest full of friends: Piglet, Kanga & Roo, Tigger, Eeyore, and many more. This well-known cast of characters was inspired by the toys belonging to author A.A. Milne’s son Christopher Robin, himself a character in Milne’s writing. 
 
Throughout this collection, each of the characters faces their own set of adventures. Join Pooh as he goes in search of Eeyore’s lost tail, which looks suspiciously like Owl’s new bell-rope. Cheer on little Piglet as he ventures into the woods to trap an elephant-like Heffalump. Take a snack break with Winnie-the-Pooh, who is always in search of honey to satisfy the “rumbly” in his tummy. 
 
The stories in this collection don’t follow a set sequence. It can be enjoyed from start to finish, or listeners can choose to bounce around from one story to another. No matter where your listening leads you, Winnie-the-Pooh is certain to find a place in your heart. The simple but profound wisdom in these stories is familiar to children and serves as a gentle reminder to adults to appreciate the small things in life.
