A group of friends huddle together and come up with a good plan. Each friend has a job to do but the result is not quite what they had hoped for. So they make a new plan which is thought through more carefully and end up with a special play place in the end. This title forms part of the Little Library programme, which consists of a Literacy Kit, Numeracy Kit and Life Skills Kit. These were developed to respond to a need for high-quality, indigenous books for the younger members of our communities, and have been successfully used in schools for the last ten years. This title is found in the updated, OBE version of the Little Library Maths Kit, now called the Little Library Numeracy Kit. The Numeracy Kit keeps seven of the best stories, and introduces five new ones - all of them trialled in classrooms around the country. A good plan tells the story of a group of friends who come up with a plan. Each friend has a job to do but the result is not what they hoped for. They then come up with a new, more carefully thought through plan. The Mathematics theme

this story is measurement.
