Acting like an Earthling isn’t easy! Follow the adventures of Spork the alien in the How to Be an Earthling series. Each book covers a different character trait to help kids think about what they say and do.   Everybody loves the class vegetable garden—except Jack. He doesn’t want to pick beans. He doesn’t even want to take care of the class hamster over the weekend, and Jo Jo is more fun than a green bean! That’s when Jack has a great idea. He’ll get Spork, the new alien in school, to watch Jo Jo. What could possibly go wrong? Every How to Be an Earthling title includes fun back-of-book activities that build on story themes. (Character trait: Responsibility)
