A great way to demonstrate sewing is for boys and girls!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt (Paperback)
I read this book to my sixth grade Home Economics sewing classes. They love it and I enjoy introducing some literacy into my classroom. We discuss how working to gether can solve problems. It is a great book to show boys that sewing is not just for girls!

Humorous look at men and quilting,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt (Hardcover)
This humorous picture book reminds children that men not only did the chores on the farm, but actually did some sewing and quilting - and that joining forces with their wives helps solve a near-disaster when the quilts fall into the mud. The drawings are clear and colorful, and the resulting creation will inspire everyone.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Sam Johnson and the Blue Ribbon Quilt (Paperback)
I use this book at the beginning of every year. It illustrates the need to work together, which is a community building theme of my class.
