Annie Glover is not a Tree Lover by Darleen Bailey Beard
Summary:
This book is about a fourth-grade girl named Annie. Annie's grandmother is constantantly protesting something, which embarrasses her. A tree that her grandmother named Elmer is scheduled to be cut down to make way for a swimming-pool complex. After Annie's grandmother literally attaches herself to the tree, Annie discovers the history behind the tree. With her new-found knowledge, Annie joins her grandmother in the protest and comes up with a plan to save the tree.

Personal Reaction:
I enjoyed this book as I find that it compares to real life situations that people face everyday. Plus, for me, the story shows that things are not always they way they appear and that it's okay to change your mind and stand up for what you believe in.

Classroom Extension Ideas:
1. In the classroom, I could ask the children to share their feelings about the story and have them explain what they might have done if they were faced with the same situation as Annie was.
2. I could have the children write their own stories with an issue that requires them to stand up for what they believe in.
