Description
Each “problem” begins with a spread that asks a question and gives a number of solutions from children―illustrated in whimsical full-color drawings by the creator. Then the reader is presented with two pages of fill-ins, prompts, and a space to attract his or her own ideas. How do you fix a bad economy? “The government must have a bake sale,” says Jennifer, age 9. What would you do to support schools? “Put chocolate milk in the water fountain.”―Robert, age 8. What are we able to do to take better care of our water? “Have scientists make fish that love to eat tons of pollution.”―Jackie, age 9. And in the end, a question on the nature of helping itself: The biggest challenge of all could be getting people up off their couches to do something. Any ideas? “Put spikes on the couches”―Micah, age 10.
