Publisher's Synopsis
Each "problem" begins with a spread that asks a question and gives one or more solutions from children-illustrated in whimsical full-color drawings by the author. Then the reader is presented with two pages of fill-ins, prompts, and a space to draw his or her own ideas. How do you fix a bad economy? "The government should have a bake sale," says Jennifer, age 9. What would you do to improve schools? "Put chocolate milk in the water fountain."-Robert, age 8. What can we do to take better care of our water? "Have scientists make fish that love to eat tons of pollution."-Jackie, age 9. And finally, a question on the nature of helping itself: The biggest challenge of all might be getting people up off their couches to do something. Any ideas? "Put spikes on the couches"-Micah, age 10.
