Gooney Bird Greene by Lois Lowry

Students in Mrs. Pidgeon's 2nd grade class can't get enough of Gooney Bird Greene's "absolutely true" stories. You'll love the stories too...like the one about how Gooney Bird came from China on a flying carpet. Or the one about the prince, the palace and the diamond earrings. Everything about Gooney Bird is as unusual as her name. And the story about how she got her name is another good one! Also read Gooney Bird and the Room Mother and Gooney the Fabulous.
