This is such a great book. Chrysanthemum's parents arrive at the perfect name for their new baby. They think it is a perfect as she is. Chrysanthemum loves her name too, until she goes to school. There she begins to wilter as other poke fun at it. Will she grow to appreciate it?
This story has good lessons on kindness, but it also transitions well into a graphing lesson! How fun for younger students to see how their name stacks up to Chrysanthemum's or their classmates. Who has the longest name? Who's is the shortest? How many have the same length?
