This book is about two bunnies, Clyde and Rosemary who are doing a science fair project together. There is one problem, the plan they originally had went wrong and now they must come up with a new project for the science fair. Their first plan was a bean plant, but it died and now they are scrambling to find another project. They now must adjust their plans and come up with a new idea. They decide to do a project on how beverages stain teeth. In my opinion this is a better idea than the bean plant, but this shows that not everything goes as planned and that sometimes we must improvise and make new plans. This is a good book to read in a science lesson to show students that if they are doing a science project that their first plan might not always work, and that they must learn how to improvise and have a backup plan just in case. Epically in science not everything works out the way you want it to, and there are many times that students must improvise in their science fair projects to make it work. I loved this book and think that there is a life lesson in science from this book. ( )

Clyde runs into a problem when he realizes the science fair is coming up quickly. His creativity that he uses to make the science fair possible can encourage students to participate in the science fair as well. I think kids would enjoy reading this book a lot. ( )

This book is about two bunnies, Clyde and Rosemary, at their science fair. Their original project, a bean plant, died and their experiment was a failure. The two decided to use their loose teeth as "yucky teeth project" for the science fair. They make an experiment using their teeth and soaking them in different substances. cyde and Rosemary end up winning most original and independent. I think this book would make a wonderful addition to a classroom library, as it shows kids how to create and complete science experiments, as well as ways that it can be done. ( )

This is a story about Clyde and Rosemary when their science fair project goes wrong. There bean plants have died, and they have a week to figure out what else they can do. His brother Jefferson shows off his project and is aggravated when their parents encourage Clyde because they know he will figure something out. Clyde soon realizes that he can use his tooth as a part of his science fair project. He soaks his tooth in tea for a week and Rosemary decides to soak her tooth in jello. Over time their teeth change colors and they win most original and most independent at the science fair! After reading "Lucille camps in by Lasky, I see similarities in the books. The illustrations are done by the same person and the pages are set up the same way. Pictures on the top and bottom of the page and words in the middle. The pictures once again are full of color and show emotion. Siblings seem to play a role in both stories. The older siblings do not get along or approve of their younger siblings doing something but by the end they get along. From a writing stand point, Lasky seems to base a lot of her stories around problem solving. As we saw with Lucille and now with Clyde and Rosemary they are presented with a problem in the very beginning of the story and by the end they have solved it. They find how to make the situation better instead of just being upset about the problem. I really enjoy how Lasky writes about problem solving because this is an important skill for children to learn! ( )
