Customer Reviews

starring Iris.....

Iris and Walter are back for another adventure. This time they learn that their class will be putting on a play. Iris works hard and learns her lines and the lines of her friend Walter. She has to help Walter out at all the practices because he always forgets. The day of the play arrives and Iris wakes up with a fever. She can't go to school. Will the play go on? Will Walter remember his lines without her? Read Book # 5 of the Iris and Walter series to find out. I think that young kids can relate to Iris in this book. Sometime kids get sick and miss out on things that they really want to do. This can lead to discussions on feelings of disapointment and feeling left out. We highly recommend this entire series. They are great for beginning readers. The chapters are short making the reader feel like they have really done well!
