Just how far will Ellie May go to be chosen as class flag leader
during the exciting week leading up to Presidents' Day?
Quirky and funny, second-grader Ellie May enjoys learning about US
presidents. But she absolutely loves the idea of being class flag
leader during the week before Presidents' Day. Tired of not being chosen
to hold the flag, she makes it her mission to finally get picked. Along
the way, Ellie May ends up karate chopping the class plant when she
tries to determine whether George Washington actually chopped down that
cherry tree. Next she takes apart the class pencil sharpener when she
learns that Abraham Lincoln liked learning how gadgets work. Ellie May
may not be perfect like Miss-Know-it-All Ava or calm like her best
friend Lizzy, but she's good-hearted and eventually realizes that
honesty and patience go a long way.
