When a young boy's teacher announces that there will be a science fair in a few weeks, he is worried. He doesn't like science. But by doing research, asking his friends for help instead of going out to play soccer, and not giving up, he learns that making smart choices leads to success.

Through simple text and joyful illustrations, this installment in the Positive Power series inspires kids to make smart choices while giving them the confidence they need to transform from little to BIG readers.
 
Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories, for children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.
