Hooray! Our first feedback on the Spirit of PaperTigers 2010 Book Set has just gone live over on our website – from the Grade 6 class at Woodlands School in Montevideo, Uruguay. They have been reading One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference together and wrote the following class review:

One Hen Made a Big Difference, 28 May 2010

Do you think a little loan and a little brown hen can change the future of a whole country? This tale is based on a true story about a small boy (called Kojo) who lived in a poor village in Ghana. It all started when his mother gave Kojo the rest of the loan she had asked for. He had an amazing idea. Kojo’s plan was to help his mother by buying a hen which would give them food and money. After finding the perfect hen his life started to change.

Read this book to find out how Kojo was able to change his life. This is a fantastic and interesting story which shows how a small boy with a great and clever idea could improve the life of many people.

We recommend this beautiful book because we read it aloud in class and learned a very important lesson about solidarity, effort, hard work and commitment.

Start the chain and pay it forward, nothing is impossible.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful evaluation of the book with us, Mrs Storace and Grade 6. Everyone else, you can read the rest of their feedback here.
