Geocache Description:

When I first thought of this series, I thought it would  be easy.  Just make a list of my favorite children's books and find a place to hide a cache.  I didn't realize I had so many favorites.  I narrowed the list down.  Still too many so I decided to feature picture books.  Most of the books in this series are favorites that I've read to children when I worked in the library at an elementary school. 


CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES.

Please bring your own writing tool. This is not a winter friendly cache.

GREGORY THE TERRIBLE EATER.  Written by Mitchell Sharmat and illustrated by Jose Aruego 

   Gregory was an average goat.  He jumped from rock to rock, kicked his legs in the air and butt his head against walls.  But  Gregory had a problem.  He was a very picky eater.  He liked fruits and vegetables.  He liked eggs, fish, bread and butter.  You know...good stuff!

  His parents just couldn't understand why he couldn't eat regular food like old shoes, newspapaer and pants.  What do you do with a picky eater?

 

When Gregory ate soup, what did his mother insist that he also eat?

A:   2 = A shoe heel

      3 = A coffee pot

      4 = A book

      5 = The soup can

 

When Gregory's mother and father saw that he was over eating, where did they go to find more things for him to eat?

B:  2 = Grandma Goat

     3 = The donut shop

     4 = A department store

     5 = The town dump

 

Plug in the correct numbers to find the cache.
