With the natural world shrinking at an alarming rate, and almost non-existent in urban areas, it's nice to read a passage in which a character takes a pro-active role in restoring one small part of nature. This story, Patsy's Paradise, which is filled with figures of speech and is content rich, is partly autobiographical, so it is close to my heart. 25 professionally written multiple choice, evidence based questions and a writing prompt are included for assessment. Enjoy! My students did! (C) 20
