Another good book for 2nd and 3rd graders reading chapter books. Maggie is stubbornly resisting the transition from printed writing to cursive writing.
i read this book when i was younger, and i liked it so much that i reread it again. it's a cute story about a girl, maggie, who doesn't want to learn cursive. her teacher lets her not learn cursive and appoints her offical class mail messenger. knowing that maggie is very snoppy and will want to read all the mail she delivers, the teacher writes the messages in cursive. then maggie begins to think that some of the mail is about her! now if she wants to find out what everyone is saying about her, she will need to learn cursive. will maggie learn, or will she never know what is being written. a cute story and nice lesson about not giving up just because the task proves a bit difficult.
At first, Maggie is just being contrary when she tells her parents she dosent need to learn cursive. Then her teacher, Mrs Leeper, says Maggies cursive is so untidy her name looks like Muggie, and decides she will never read or write cursive. Nobody can make her...........
