Project mulberry is about 2 kids that are in a club. they have to do a project on an animal. They don't know what animal to do until the girl's mom comes up with doing a silkworm project. The boy agree's to do it but the girl not so much the have to find a mulberry tree or they can't raise silkworms. the girl thinks there won't be a mulberry tree because there not in the country that raises silkworms. she is so happy but there might still be a mulberry tree. Will there be a mulberry tree or will they have to choose another animal?

I really enjoyed the book Project Mullberry. I had never read a book where the author talks to the main charecter until I checked this one out. If there was a real wiggle club I'd deffinentally be in it. I found the topic of this book really interesting because until now I hadn't ever heard of silk worm farming.

I liked Project Mulberry because I was able to learn about silkworms and how they are raised.

I thought that Project Mulberry was a great book!I loved the book because it was about two friends doing a project together for a blue ribbon at the state fair.At first,they don't know what to do the project on.But Julia's mom thinks they should do the project on raising silkworms,but Julia wants to do something a little more american.Julia likes sewing so,she decides to sew an american flag with the silk the silkworms will produce for them.But there's only one person who can help them with their project...

You should read this book if you like science,animl books,books about other cultures,or books about friendships.I learned that it is important to tell a friend how you really feel rather than keep it a secret.In the beginning of the book,you feel like the mom is prejudiced against black people.By the end you feel like the mom now likes Mr.Dixon (the black person).

Julia and Patrick are in the WGGL club and they need to do a project on an animal.IT turns out that raising silkworms is Korean to Julia an dc she wants to do an american one.They do it and try to win the blue ribbon at the fair.

i really enjoyed this book.it teaches you so many lessons.it mainly taught me that even if you have a very big or very small secret then it is OK to tell your true friend. i also learned that when you tell the truth and cooroperate ,something you may not want to do like a school project,wont be hard anymore.
