Kidz Only!
Hi Kids! My name is Stanley the Striped Bass. My friends and I live near you in the Delta. There are fish that live underwater with me, birds that fly through the sky, and plants that grow on the shore. Just like you need clean water to drink and play in, we need clean water to live in, too. You can do your part to make a difference and keep the Delta clean and safe for all of us.
Click here (9.55MB, ZIP) to download the free Keep the Delta Clean activity book. Ask your parents or teacher to print it out for you. Have fun with the connect-the-dots page, word puzzle, animal find, and watershed maze. Your parents or teacher can also ask us to send them free activity books. Ask them to email Dan Jordan to order the books for you.
