There's too much traffic on the street! How will Joey solve this problem? Joey's Stop Sign is a realistic fiction book in which the four characters decide to request that the city install new stop signs to slow traffic. The children distribute a petition, gather data on how many cars pass before and after school, take pictures of people trying to cross, and even tell the story of a local dog that got hit by a car. Illustrations support the text.
