A New Book
Jackson J., age 9, Nebraska
One day my teacher assigned us a book to read. I took it home and found that it had a bad word in it. I thought it would be just the one time, but later on I found the word again. I told my teacher that I didn’t want to read the book because it had bad words in it. She said that was OK and took me to the school library to get a different book. I know that I made the right choice.
