Gavin Volunteers!

Gavin Volunteers! is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts, addressing Literacy.RI.1.8 and Literacy.L.1.5. Large color photographs of children raking leaves, serving food at a soup kitchen, cleaning an animal shelter, and buying goods from a bake sale along with narrative nonfiction text demonstrate to young readers all the different ways that they can volunteer and make a difference in their community just like Gavin. This book should be paired with "e;Let's Volunteer!"e; (9781448888511) from the Rosen Common Core Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
