Annie Glover is NOT a Tree Lover





Annie Glover is NOT a Tree Lover by Darleen Bailey Beard




When her grandmother chains herself to the tree across from the school to save it from being cut down, fourth-grader Annie wants to die of humiliation, but when she discover's the town's history, her attitude changes.




My Thoughts: Annie is fun and a typical fourth-grader who doesn't want to be embarassed by her grandmother's protest. She and her friend Jazz learn the history of their town's tree and decide to make Grandma's cause their own. This would be a fun read aloud for third or fourth grade students.
