Rosie and Violet are very different. Violet is the BEST at everything and she has no problem letting everyone know it! Rosie on the other hand is not the best at anything. When their teacher Ms. Willis announces that each student will be planting pea seeds, Violet is quick to announce HERS will be the best. Rosie takes great pride in her little plant and one day notices a tiny bit of green poking through the dirt. But no sooner has she noticed and Violet announces her plant is growing! The next morning Rosie goes inside to take care of her tiny pea plant and decides to cover Violet's plant with dirt. Once school starts, Ms. Willis announces that Violet will not be at school because she has chicken pox. Rosie's guilt begins to grow. Rosie begins taking care of both plants and when Violet finally returns to school, she is in for a big surprise. This is a great book for teaching kids about "being the bigger person" and how to best deal with individuals that are not always nice. Sometimes it is hard to be a "good person" when you are not treated nicely by others. Great character building book!!
