Watch out, World Rosy Cole is Going Green! by Sheila Greenwald

In the newest episode of the Rosy Cole series, Rosy's school is trying to raise money to go green by planting trees an buying energy saving light bulbs. Rosy's imagination explodes with ideas when her Nature's Gift theme is approved by her teacher, Mrs. Oliphant. Little did her teacher know that their booth will be featuring living and recently departed cockroaches, worms and flying pests such as fruit flies and wool moths. Rosy is a generous big thinker who is prone to blazing ahead without getting permission and thinking things through. She would be a great best friend -- but you probably wouldn't want her as a sister. (She "borrows" her sisters drawers to use as a home for composting worms! Humor and green ideas make this a good read for second - fourth graders.
