Take Me to Your Weeder: Responsibility — Kimberly Morris

Acting like an Earthling isn't easy! Follow the adventures of Spork the alien in the How to Be an Earthling series. Each book covers a different character trait to help kids think about what they say and do.
 
Everybody loves the class vegetable garden -- except Jack. He doesn't want to pick beans. He doesn't even want to take care of the class hamster over the weekend, and Jo Jo is more fun than a green bean! That's when Jack has a great idea. He'll get Spork, the new alien in school, to watch Jo Jo. What could possibly go wrong? Every How to Be an Earthling title includes fun back-of-book activities that build on story themes. (Character trait: Responsibility)
