It makes me feel nice and cozy.

Draw your living room!

But wood smoke can be bad for me.

-------
When it's too smoky outside, my eyes get
scratchy and I get a cough.

-------
Luckily, Mom and Dad know
how to burn wood the right way.

-------
One day, my parents decided we needed a new
woodstove because ours was too old and smoky.
The staff at the store helped us pick out a new
stove that is just the right size for our home.

Mom and Dad read the owner's manual before we used it so
we stay safe and warm. Now the air is cleaner in our home!

Mom and Dad make sure to burn dry wood on

After Dad splits wood, he lets me stack it in the woodpile. We cut
our wood at least six months before we use it in our woodstove.

-------
We keep our woodpile stacked outside.
Connect the dots to help build a cover for our woodpile.
