Praise for The World’s Best Class Plant:
A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
A Junior Library Guild Selection
A Cooperative Children’s Book Center Choices Selection
* “Laden with humorous charm, this wise, beautifully written story delivers some plant knowledge, fosters empathy for a living thing, and promotes cooperation . . . This book will genuinely grow on readers.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
* “A ‘mostly green, hardly growing’ spider plant provides classroom 109 with a lesson about keeping an open mind in this amiable botanical picture book . . . An encouraging picture of students blooming intellectually and emotionally through care.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“This laugh-out-loud, earnestly lovely picture book about a class plant who grows into his full potential is a must-read—preferably aloud—for classrooms and young readers who might be skeptical about plants . . . This is an adorably fun read with great classroom appeal and just the right amount of real plant information to keep kids interested in the humor and fun but still leave them intrigued by plants. The soft realism of Bontigao’s illustrations, naturally full of lots of greenery, brings in the eye and will keep readers moving around the page to discover new joys.” —Booklist
“Scanlon and Vernick bring humor and an ear for the dialogue of elementary-school classrooms to this lively text . . . Bontigao brings a diverse group of students to these pages and captures bustling elementary classrooms with details and precision.” —The Horn Book
