Try Your Best (Green Light Readers Level 2) por Robert McKissack

This book is very simple in words, but at the same time encouraging. It show how a teacher can influence a child just by saying "Try Your Best". This book may help students over come their fears.

Try Your Best (Green Light Readers Level 2) por Robert McKissack

This is a cute book about a little girl trying to like sports. I think this is a good book to read aloud. I did not enjoy it but I think children that like sports and don't know how to play would like this book.

Try Your Best (Green Light Readers Level 2) por Robert McKissack

I like this book because it shows children that if they try their best they can achieve goals. Not only in sports. Also, at the end of the book it asked questions about the story. Like: What do both Ann and Mr. York learn? I also like how it has activities for children to do. An arts and crafts page. I find that interesting and you do not see that in many childrens books.
