Content recommendation

This book is suitable for4-8Reading for a year old child

Until Chrysanthemum started kindergarten, she believed herparents when they said her name was perfect. But on the first dayof school, Chrysanthemum begins to suspect that her name is farless than perfect, especially when her class dissolves into gigglesupon hearing her name read aloud. That evening, Chrysanthemumsparents try to piece her self-esteem back together again withcomfort food and a night filled "with hugs, kisses, and Parcheesi."But the next day Victoria, a particularly observant andmean-spirited classmate, announces that Chrysanthemums name takesup 13 letters. "Thats half the letters in the alphabet!" she adds.Chrysanthemum wilts. Pretty soon the girls are making playgroundthreats to "pluck" Chrysanthemum and "smell her."Kevin Henkes has great compassion for the victims of childhoodteasing and cruelties--using fresh language, endearing pen-and-inkmouse characters, and realistic dialogue to portray real-lifevulnerability.He also has great compassion for parents, offeringseveral adult-humor jokes for anxious mommies and daddies. On thesurface, the finale is overly tidy and the coincidencesunbelievable. But in the end, what sustains Chrysanthemum, as wellas this story, is the steadfast love and support of her family. Andbecause of this, the closure is ultimately convincing and utterlycomforting. ALA Notable Book, School Library Journal BestBook of the Year, Horn Book Fanfare Honor List. (Ages 4 to8)
