This is a delightful, funny, educational, rhyming book that children will enjoy because they like to make funny faces and because they are frequently afraid of new things, such as going to a new city and new school, as Jake in this tale. Jake was, as he admits at the end of the story, was "really nervous and missing my old town. I didn't want to be here. I felt like one big frown."  Fortunately, one of the girls in his new school class saw his fear and recommended a game to the teacher that the entire class could play and which would solve Jake's problem. Jake tells the class that it worked: "But then you told stories...." Children will empathize with Jake, learn, as he did, how to overcome nervous feelings, and enjoy seeing the face that Jake makes at the end of the book.
