Pearl and Wagner, two young friends are ready to win a big prize at the science fair. Together they create a trash eating robot out of boxes, tape, glue, and string. When the teacher arrived at their robot catastrophe hit when Pearl pulled too hard on the robot's string to open the mouth. The teacher allowed the two to make adjustments on their robot before the big Science Fair. This time they used rubber bands top open and shut the robot's mouth. As it came time for them to show their robot again, Pearl tugged on the strings. This time nothing happened. Then Pearl pulled harder and mouth popped open with rubber bands flying everywhere. The judge gave them one more chance. This time Wagner jumped inside of the box that was the robot's body and "made the robot talk". The judge was highly impressed with their talking robot, that is until she discovered that it was Wagner inside talking. Sadly, Wagner and Pearl did not win a prize but Pearl thanked Wagner for trying to help out and being such a good friend. This book is a great book for younger children to understand friendship and helping each other out. It teaches the lesson that even when a prize isn't won in the end their friendship is stronger than ever! ( )

Pearl and Wagner were talking about what they were going to do for their science project for the science fair. Pearl said she was gong to do a robot. Wagner started to help her with the robot but when it was time to show the teacher what they decided to do for their projects, Wagner didn't have one but Pearl said that the robot was both hers and Wagner's. When the science fair rolled around, the robot was not working so they had to fix it but Wagner decided that he would get in the robot and talk but they did not win. Pearl had got a new pair of green boots and asked Wagner if he liked them but he didn't and that upset Pearl. Wagner then apologized to Pearl and said that it only matters if she like her new boots. Then they made up and painted a picture. Book show that when yo work together you can get things done. Books also show that it is okay to have different opinions from everyone else. ( )

Pearl and Wagner is about a friendship between a mouse and a rabbit. The book includes three short chapters and two of those chapters focus on the science fair while the third chapter is about Pearl's new boots. Overall, the book is one that I would share with first graders because it's about a friendship that goes through its share of ups and downs, but Pearl and Wagner work through each circumstance. ( )

A very good story to read to show how two good friends can resolve a conflict when they disagree. ( )

This book is about a mouse and a rabbit that become friends but then fight over material goods. In the end, they work it out, and show that true friendship last.
