Opis

An ideal way to teach information literacy and leadership skills to 1st to 4th graders—using chocolate chip cookies and glitter pens! The Cayuga Island Kids are five big-hearted friends who solve mysteries and have wonderful adventures together. They are fact detectives who follow clues, find answers, and puzzle out solutions. Above all, they are kind, helpful, smart, and resourceful kids who have lots of fun together. In Book 1 the Kids hunt for a certain kind of tree and instead unearth a cannonball. As they hunt for clues and follow leads, the inquisitive and adventurous fact detectives discover that the island they live on is home to both history and mystery. In award-winning Book 2, the Kids rescue a mallard and pull plastic bottles out of the creek. How they bring the community together to build a recycling bin big enough to hold plenty of plastic makes for a lively adventure. Brainstorming, teamwork, and recycling lead to the realization that although we are each just one person, together we can make a BIG difference! In Book 3, Julian and his dad are trying to make perfect chocolate chip cookies when glitter pens go missing at school. Clues point to a suspect, but when they encounter misinformation and disinformation, the importance of not jumping to conclusions becomes clear.
