Description/Notes
This little piggy went to market, and hes not alone in this bakers dozen of traditional nursery rhymes set in a farmers market. Fitzgerald creates a world of animal characters with the same charm and bounce as in her bestseller, 'This is Me and Where I Am.' Full color. Chico's family moves up and down the state of California all year to pick fruits and vegetables, so each September, Chico starts at a new school. Often, the other kids pick on him. But third grade promises to be different. His teacher recognizes his excellent abilities in math--he may even get to go to the math fair. When some fourth-grade bullies tease him, he surprises them with strengths of his own. Full-color illustrations. When Chico starts the third grade after his migrant worker family moves to begin harvesting California grapes, he finds that self confidence and math skills help him cope with the first day of school.
