From School Library Journal:

Pres-Grade 2–This gentle picture book captures the impact a sensitive teacher has on the lives of her students. Molly is having a totally wonderful day: the weather is wonderful, and she is bringing a special crystal from Grandmas house to school to share with her classmates. However, when the other children are distracted from admiring her prize by Russell and his water-squirting stegosaurus, Mollys eyes burned hot and wet....She felt her heart go thumpity-thumpity-thumpity inside. Fortunately, Miss Plumberry redirects the classs interest back to Mollys crystal with thoughtful questions and observations. For the girl, it is a totally wonderful day again thanks to her teacher. Rosen deftly captures Mollys feelings: a great big lion was going to run in and gobble everyone up. Come on, lion. Come on, lion, thought Molly. The soft watercolor-and-pencil illustrations reveal her emotions and expose the fickle attention of children in engaging, somewhat idyllic, spreads. This title is a good choice to share when discussing feelings and consideration, and it makes an excellent selection for teacher-appreciation day.–Piper L. Nyman, formerly at Fairfield Civic Center Library, CA
