Iris and Walter: The School Play
Kindergarten-Grade 2-Iris and Walter are excited about their parts in the school play about bugs. Iris practices and practices, and helps Walter with his lines, reassuring him when he forgets them at dress rehearsal. The day of the play, a devastated Iris has a fever and must stay home. She finds it difficult to return to class and hear all about the big event, but Walter helps her get through the day and her teacher brings in a special treat. The best surprise comes at the end, however, when Iris finds out the class will soon begin rehearsing for a dance about the solar system. Readers will relate to the child's situation and will be reassured by her supportive family and best friend. Pen-and-ink drawings done on keacolor paper convey the emotions of the story. This excellent addition to the series is a perfect choice for newly independent readers.Melinda Piehler, North Tonawanda Public Library, NYCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
