Synopsis:
Donavan Allen has a collection like no other. While other kids in his class collect coins, comics, or baseball cards, Donavan collects words. Whenever he finds one he likes, he writes it on a slip of paper and puts it in his word jar. But one day Donavan discovers that his word jar is nearly full. How can he make room for new words without giving up all the terrific words already in his jar? A visit to his grandma shows Donavan that sharing words can be just as much fun as collecting them.

This is a wonderful story that I do each year with my students--We start our own word jar. It really is amazing how my students add to the jar, know the words and can't wait to read Donavan's next words. When Donovan's Double Trouble is available in paperback, I will purchase a class set of this lovable character! Thank you Mrs. DeGross--Keep Writing!
