Perseverance Pays Off is a children's book with full-page color illustrations. In this delightful story, set in 1960, a young girl pedals her bike to a farmhouse where she is to be the baby sitter. She and the three children in her charge - as well as a pig who lives on the farm - all must practice PERSEVERANCE during the course of the day. Suitable for a range of young children from pre-school through third grade, the book is especially valuable in teaching character development in the essential qualities of grit, tenacity, and perseverance. The book includes supplement pages for use by teachers and parents featuring quotations, enriched vocabulary from the text of the story, subject/content area integration points, critical thinking questions, and writing/storytelling prompts.
