the bottom of the flyer as the person who made it.”
    Ms. Booth stood. “What am I going to do with you all?”
    Nobody spoke.
    â€œMr. Ripley has the answer,” Ms. Booth said. “I called you to my office because he wants to speak to you in the library.”

Chapter Ten
    Mr. Ripley was waiting in the library. He had on his blue suit, a blue shirt and a blue tie. The Pooper Scoopers were all wearing their T-shirts with the photo of Mr. Ripley pointing at the poop on his shoe.
    â€œPlease sit, everybody,” Ms. Booth said to the students. “Mr. Ripley would like to speak to you.”
    Ms. Booth stepped to the side as all the students moved toward the study tables.
    Mr. Ripley frowned at Justine McKeen. “Because of your article, I’ve had dozens and dozens of calls from parents. They think I am going to pull coaches and teachers from school gyms. Parents want to know what I’m going to do to stop the poop at the school board office. The parents were laughing.”

    Mr. Ripley began to laugh. “I have to tell you, those T-shirts are very, very funny.” When Mr. Ripley stopped laughing, he looked at Justine. “My size is extra-large. Can I order a T-shirt from you? I think it would be great if we raised enough money for the Poop Power project at Central Park.”
    â€œOf course,” Justine said. “You were the one who started this, after all.”
    â€œI know, I know,” Mr. Ripley said. “It really was my fault. I was mad when I first saw the article and the flyer. But now I think it is a very good idea. It’s been a long time since so many parents cared enough to call me. You are right. We need teachers in classrooms and coaches in gyms and librarians in libraries.”
    â€œSo Mrs. Reynolds is coming back?” Jimmy Blatzo asked.
    â€œIt’s not that easy,” Mr. Ripley said. “The school board has to vote and approve it. In the end, the board makes the decision.”
    â€œWhen is the next school board meeting?” Justine asked.
    â€œA week from today,” Mr. Ripley said. “That’s why I am here. If we get an army of Pooper Scoopers there to ask to put Mrs. Reynolds back into the library, it should make a big impact.” Mr. Ripley looked at Justine. “But I have a favor to ask.”
    â€œSure,” she said.
    â€œPlease order me a second T-shirt. Have all your friends sign it. I’m going to frame it and put it in my office. I want to remind myself that when kids care about something, it’s important to listen.”

    Classroom Chapter Notes
    Chapter One
    Ebooks save treebooks!
    Over three billion books (made of paper) are sold each year around the globe. That takes a lot of trees. Books in your school library get used again and again and again, so no one should ever feel bad about this. However, when people buy books for their home, often it is only read once and then placed on a shelf. This is like wearing a T-shirt only one time and never using it again.
    Ebooks, of course, don’t use paper. So how do they work? Well, there are lots of ways to access ebooks, such as on your computer, an ebook reader or on a number of other personal devices. Ask your local librarian for all of the latest information!
    Once you have downloaded the reading software to your device of choice, you can find thousands of free ebooks to read. Check out www.myrockandrollbooks.com to get free ebooks by Sigmund Brouwer.
    Chapter Seven
    According to the American Pet Products Association, four in ten households have at least one dog. In the United States, for example, that is close to seventy million dogs, and forty-five percent of these animals weigh forty pounds or more. That leads to a lot of dog poop!
    Justine gave her friends a lot of information about how dog poop is bad for the environment. Here are ten reasons why people should take care of dog waste and not leave it in the grass. (Source:
