Problem-solver Paula patches her pants—and encourages her class to be resourceful, mend, and reuse. Oh, no! While at school, Paula’s pants catch on a bush that rips a large hole in her pants. She tries everything to hide the hole from her classmates, only to find out that they, too, have leaky lunchboxes, spaghetti stains, and hand-me-down backpacks. Nothing some colourful patches can’t fix!
