The Just-So Woman (I Can Read Level 3)

By Gary L. Blackwood

Book Overview

The Just-So Woman likes everything to be just perfect. In the morning she wakes up before the rooster crows. She does her chores. She feeds the cat. Then she fixes breakfast. That is how she likes things done, and so that is how she does them every day--until one day when nothing goes just the way she expects, and she learns that sometimes "just so" isn't the only way things can turn out just right.

Customer Reviews

Simply delightful...

The Just-So Woman must have everything just right; nothing can be out of order or untidy. So, when Just-So Woman has a bad day, she must learn to deal with the problems that arise. Any-Way Man is just the opposite of Just-So Woman, untidy and unorganized, yet much, much happier. Author Gary Blackwood has done an outstanding job of writing an interesting book for young readers. THE JUST-SO WOMAN teachers young readers that sometimes it is okay if everything is not `just so.' THE JUST-SO WOMAN also gives young readers a taste of what life might have been like in the past, when the things that were needed could not just be purchased from a store, but had to be made. THE JUST-SO WOMAN is a delightful tale, sure to entice children to read more. Written with perfectly understandable language just right for emergent readers, THE JUST-SO WOMAN is informative and a good addition to the I Can Read! collection.
