Best Me I Can Be! – serie

RJ's having another bad day … His teacher wants him to work with bossy Bernice, messy Frankie, and Norma (who just sits and picks her nose) on a report about Egyptian mummies. After a frustrating school day with his "team," RJ goes home to find only one cookie left in the jar. And his mom makes him share it with his sister! With the help of his coach, RJ learns that working as a team and sharing are skills needed not just on the football field, but in school and at home too! This book is the fourth in Julia Cook's award-winning series, BEST ME I Can Be!, that teaches kids social skills that help them be more successful in school and happier at home.
