Awesome prizes! Nate the Great Searches for a Missing PictureNate the Great, a chapter book about a junior detective, tells about Nate's search for a missing picture of a yellow dog named Fang. Nate uses observation skills, humor, and a bit of knowledge about colors to solve the case. Nate the Great is intended for new readers who want to do the reading themselves. Second graders at KIPP Coastal Village recommend this book. | Painting and Sculpting NewsWant to see the process used by artist Rene Wiley?
