The creative juices were flowing for the second graders in Mrs. Rhoton's class!  Working together, the class wrote the story of Charlie, a young boy with big plans.  This hardcover book tells the tale of Charlie and his family as they embark on a hike that leads to more than one surprise!  With each student in the class contributing to the story, and with individual illustrations (marked with each budding artist's name), this book alone is a treasure.  And with only two first edition copies in print, it is sure to be a bestseller.

Wanting to be sure that this book has a good "home," the class also painted a small wooden bookcase, perfect for storing Charlie's Hiking Adventure! and other favorite stories.  The bookcase comes stocked with a few other class favorites, making this auction item a good match for a young reader with an expanding collection of favorite tales.
