The Good Game
How can the small mouse and squirrel play lacrosse with the big animals? A fun Native American tale that first graders can read on their own. A game of lacrosse is about to begin--with the four-legged animals facing off against the winged animals. Mouse and Squirrel want to join! But Bear and Deer won't let animals so small on their team. The birds would welcome the small animals, but Mouse and Squirrel can't fly. The winged team has a clever plan. This Native American tale about the origin of the bat and flying squirrel is framed by a grandfather sharing a story with his grandson. Phonics features are noted on the copyright page.
