A little boy helps a old woman at a nursing home.

This story is about a young boy named Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge who lived next door to an old people's home. This little boy loved to go visit with the old people and learn about all kinds of things. He made friends with all of the old people; however, he liked Miss Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper the best because she had a name just as long as his. One day, he heard his parents talking about her and the fact that she has lost her memory. His parents explained to him what a memory was, but he wanted to know more so he asked several old people he had become friends with. Each person had a somewhat different answer. Based on each of the answers, he found several items that met that criteria and then placed them in a basket to give Miss Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper. This basket truly helped her because she soon began to remember several things from her past, including the day she met Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge.
I would read this book to students in kindergarten through third grade. A good time to read this is when explaining to students the importance of helping others. This book emphasizes the value of kindness by showing the good that can come from it. ( )

Wilfrid solves a large problem. During his frequent visits to a retirement home, Wilfrid gives attention to each person and helps one lady who is suffering from memory loss.
I love how the story depicts a friendship between a child and an elderly lady. It shows how children interpret the world.
Define the French word “collage” and have the students make a memory collage. Have the students make pictures or crafts for people in a retirement home.
