What is Pedro's Tricky Tower about?
Pedro’s class is challenged to build the tallest tower from paper cups. Pedro enjoys building, but working with Roddy, the class troublemaker, makes the task difficult. As the cups wobble and the team argues, Pedro must find a way for everyone to contribute. Can the two boys put aside their differences, share their ideas and build something strong together? Along the way, this lively classroom story explores cooperation, problem-solving and friendship, with jokes, a glossary and comprehension questions included.
