My second grader just started reading this series.
Roscoe brings his favorite stuffed pig to school. When the class bully discovers it in his backpack, he makes fun of Roscoe. At home Roscoe discovers his beloved pig is missing and immediately thinks that Wyatt, the bully, has taken him.
Roscoe comes up with a plan to teach Wyatt a lesson but in reality Roscoe learns a lesson about jumping to conclusions.
Points to discuss: I do not like how Roscoe takes Wyatt's teddy bear or how impulsive he is. He lacks control several times in the book. Definitely a book where you would want to discuss the character's choices/behaviors. I do like how Roscoe learns a good life lesson about jumping to conclusions and how he does experience consequences for his choices.
Guided Reading Level: N (3rd grade)
