The 2nd Edition S.O.T. Storybooks were designed for venues such as libraries where writing in books; as in my regular storybooks (which include various activities that require writing or cutting), must not be encouraged. Therefore, only the story, and the secret coded message have been included in the 2nd edition versions. You can copy the secret coded worksheet to decode the message, if the 2nd edition storybook doesn't belong to you.Pudgy Pete is about a little boy who obviously, because of his nickname, carries a little more weight than others. Journey with Pete as his self-pity and low self-esteem evolves into self-worth. After befriending a new physically challenged neighbor who moves in next door, she teach him how to appreciate the special person he is, and not to focus on what size pants he wears. This story can be enjoyed by children ages seven and up.
