Activity for the book If You Traveled West in a Covered Wagon by Ellen Levine
Elsie Mae went into town to purchase some provisions. Being the mischeivous type, Bobby Joe finds Elsie Mae's diary
and takes it outside for a quick read. Unfortunately, a huge gust of wind scatters some loose pages into the yard.
Bobby Joe spends quite a bit of time rushing frantically around the yard chasing pages. Finally, with pages in hand,
Bobby Joe sits on the porch and discovers that the pages have no numbers - just titles. A closer look reveals that the
pages talk about their trip out west to Oregon City from Independence, Missouri.
Can you help Bobby Joe put the pages
back in the correct sequence?
