Jo Jo Makoons: Rule School

<p><b>It is good to follow the rules. But there are just so many! In this fourth book in the beloved Jo Jo Makoons chapter book series Jo Jo's talents may not quite include following her substitute teacher's rules... </b></p><p>Jo Jo and her classmates are excited that the Elders' Tribal Center has changed the rules for the talent show to invite the whole tribe to perform. But the rules have also changed in Jo Jo's classroom where instead of their teacher they have a <i>substitute</i>. Since Jo Jo has a knack for being <i>helpful</i> she puts her mind to helping her classmates decide on their talents--but can she manage to follow the substitute teacher's rules?</p><p>Even if no one else quite understands Jo Jo's own rules (like that saying please makes words softer and fluffier to hear and that square foods are too pointy to be yummy) her undeniable talents for celebrating curiosity and <i>class</i> keep her happily hop-skipping in step with her Ojibwe community.</p><p>Contemporary Native characters and community values are at the heart of Jo Jo's everyday adventures on her reservation! A glossary and author's note can be found at the end of every installment of this award-winning Native-authored chapter book series.</p><p><i>The first book in this acclaimed chapter book series was an American Indian Youth Literature Award Honor Book; a best book of the year from </i>Kirkus Reviews School Library Journal <i> American Indians in Children's Literature and the Chicago Public Library; a Charlotte Huck Award Honor Book; and a Cooperative Children's Book Center CCBC Choices selection.</i></p>
