Maribel McTuft's Grand Adventure

Maribel McTuft’s Grand Adventure is a kid-engaging story of a dorky family of ostriches with fantastic illustrations and integrates into STEM curriculum! In other words, it is “ROCK SOLID!” Maribel tells her quirky story about visiting a canyon with her absent- minded father, doting mother, too cool teenage sister and bird-brained brother Oliver. Our young journal-toting Maribel finds a magnificent mineralized rock on the ledge of the canyon, but before she can own it, her brother’s sneeze, launches the rock on a learning filled journey of earth science proportion. Oliver and Maribel team up in search of the rock but seem to get into one predicament after another. Will Maribel ever possess that special rock again to show her friends at school? You’ll need to read this book and see! Maribel’s journal pages, glossary, and extension activities included!
