Jacob Doesn't Read: The Flying Aardvark

by Kelley M Likes, Mary Barrows (Illustrator)

Elementary school student, Jacob Read loved everything about his name. Well, almost everything. He didn’t like it when people called him Jacob Red, like the color. Or assumed he actually liked to read. 

So what happens when he has to write a report which REQUIRES reading? With some guidance from his super sharp teacher and friends, Jacob learns the correct way to research and present a fun fact-filled report. His classmates also present some amazing facts about everything from the smallest dinosaur with the largest name to a cat that barks.

From Author Kelley M Likes and Illustrator Mary Barrows comes a story that guides new researchers in their quest for facts. Great for classroom usage. Follows Language Arts Common Core Curriculum Standards. Includes a "What do you remember" section.
