	Chrysanthemum Kevin Henkes (1991) , 32 pages Audience: Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Back To School Feelings Self-Esteem
Request this book from the Library Have you ever been teased about your name? Well, then you should read Chrysanthemum. When she started school everybody made fun of her name because she was named after a flower. But her classmates said things like, "Your name is so long and it scarcely fits on your name tag." All these things hurt her feelings. Things began to change when Chrysanthemum meets the music teacher and when she finds out that she is named after a flower she gets happy. She gets even happier when she finds out that if her baby is a girl she will name her Chrysanthemum. I like this book because in the end it is really exciting I recommend this book for people who like silly stories. Kid review written by Peri, Age 7 Have you ever been teased about your name? If you have you should read Chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum is a mouse. When she went to school Victoria and all her classmates were teasing her. One night Chrysanthemum made a dream that she was a flower and Victoria picked her peddles off. I like when they meet their music teacher. I would recommend this book to people who like flowers.
