Publisher's Synopsis
The 2nd Edition S.O.T. Storybooks were designed for venues such as libraries where writing in books; as in the regular storybook (which include various activities that require writing or cutting), must not be encouraged. Therefore, only the story and the secret coded message have been included in the 2nd edition versions. You can copy the secret coded worksheet to decode the message if the 2nd edition storybook doesn't belong to you. Anxious Arlene is a story about an anxious family consisting of a young brother and sister who lives with their grandpa and grandma. They have a little adopted dog that was never claimed or found by the original owner and they all live together (with a few mishaps), in a loving, exciting home. This story can be enjoyed by children ages four and up.
