Publisher Description

Number One Kid. That’s what Mitchell McCabe’s favorite T-shirt says. He’d like to be Number One at the Zigzag Afternoon Center, where there are lots of fun activities to choose from: swimming, nature walks, field trips, art, even homework help. But Mitchell is worried. What if he’s the only kid who doesn’t get a prize on Prize Day? Luckily, Mitchell realizes he’s a winner at something terrific.

    " A good beginning chapter book by an excellent children's author, but felt it difficult to keep track of all of the characters and multiple stories going on. "

    " The main idea of the story is good, but none of the events/concepts are elaborated on. The story jumps from one event to another and is hard to follow. I am not ready to give up on the series yet. I'll read book #2 next before deciding how to use the book in my classroom. "

    " As others have said, it seemed a bit choppy as it jumped around, making following Mitchell's activities and his train of thought somewhat hard to follow. I'll see how things are in the second book, but for now, this was just OK. "

    " I like Patricia Reilly Giff, but found this narrative to be choppy. In this first of the "Zigzag Kids" series, there are many short sentences and brief dialogue which do not add to the flow of the story. This one does not encourage me to read further in this series. "

    " This is a great book to give to students who are transitioning between a picture book and a chapter book. This book shows how students work towards an award and how great they feel when they get to my award. I can use this to help shape my behavior management plan in my classroom. "
