Helping Hands — Jenne Simon

Have fun--and get ready for kindergarten--with this story and accompanying activities that feature community helpers.

While teaching her class, Mrs. Bear gets a great idea. She wants to put together a town festival. She explains to her students that it takes a lot of special people to make a big party like this come together. These people are called "community helpers."

As a group, the class decides they need the help of five key community helpers. They will ask the Mayor permission to have the party in the park, the mail carrier to distribute invitations, the builder to make the performance stage, the baker to cook all the snacks, and the policeman to keep everyone safe.

This paper-over-board storybook comes with a pocket in the back which includes a reversible/giant map and activities, as well as a craft to make and decorate a school bus, a sheet of stickers, a parent guide, and an instruction sheet--all for $10.99!
