There is only one way for Chester to do things—his own way. "You definitely have a mind of your own," said Chester's mother. "That's one way to put it," said Chester's father. Luckily Chester's best friend, Wilson, likes doing things just the same way as Chester. So all is well. That is, until Lilly moves into the neighborhood. Because Lilly, as we all know, has her own way of doing things!

Storyline Online's Chester's Way is read by Vanessa Marano and Katie Leclerc, and is written and illustrated Kevin Henkes.

Very cute story. Both deaf and hearing students would really enjoy listening to this story being read to them and watching the interpreter sign the story. The graphics are nicely presented, too. I wish a lesson plan was included with key vocabulary, questions, activities, etc. to go along with the story. Thanks for sharing!
