Synopsis

Jacob Read loved everything about his name. Well, almost everything. He didn’t like it when people called him Jacob Red; (like the color) or assumed he actually liked to read.

So what happens when he has to write a report that REQUIRES reading?

With some guidance from his super sharp teacher and friends, Jacob learns the correct way to research and present a fun fact-filled report. His classmates also present some amazing facts about everything from the smallest dinosaur with the largest name to a cat that barks.
