	From the book's jacket: "Under a soggy leaf, on the back steps, crawling up Miss Rosemary's prize redbud tree... woollybear caterpillars are on the move, and their way to becoming Isabella tiger moths. Joe Dean Castleberry is on his way, too. He is moving to Michigan, forever. But first, he'll have a chance to lead his third-grade team to victory in the school's annual woollybear contest. It's a celebration of life's comings and goings.... It's wollybear week!"
Mr. Butwill shares the joy of reading with Salisbury Central School's kindergarten through 5th grade students as he reads Woollybear Good-bye.
	Mrs. Allyn reads Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback. This short story has an unexpected ending!

Ask your child how Joseph made something out of nothing!
