This book helps them understand the importance of listening to parents and teachers.

Part of every child's development consists of asking questions about themselves, their friends and neighbors, and their surroundings. Why Should I? books help them discover good answers. Kids will be attracted by the amusing color illustrations on every page, and parents and teachers will appreciate the note at the back of each book offering further suggestions on answering children's questions.

"Tenoclock, Colorado, is one of those sleepy, little mountain towns that suddenly gets discovered and discovers that being a place to be often leaves something to be desired . . . unless, of course, you're part of the power structure. Now the town teeters at the edge: Newsweek calls it "the new Vail" and the Hollywood crowd is beginning to buy up the mountainside. Still, Deputy Sheriff Johnelle "Johnnie" Baker can always count on closing the police station at 11:00 P.M." "Then one September night, as the tourists begin arriving to watch the aspen change color - and to watch the celebrities watching, too - the sleep is knocked right out of Tenoclock. Johnnie's routine is shattered by a jail brawl and a missing persons report, not to mention the demands for attention from a not-so-significant other. At every scene, the facts just don't add up . . . and witnesses are falling like autumn leaves. One of the bodies is that of the sheriff." "The town fathers think naming Johnnie sheriff will be the kind of good publicity they've been seeking, and, after all, what can she do to cause trouble? She'll follow orders, the dead will be buried, and no one will ask embarrassing questions of the folks who are doing so much for the standard of living." "Johnnie Baker thinks otherwise."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
