商品簡介
This timely book, reissued with new art, goes right to the heart of the school testing issue. When the lady from the principal’s office brings in a test for the first grade class, the children find that none of the proffered answers are exactly right, so they have trouble with the test. Fortunately, their teacher knows what’s really important: being creative and being a good friend, things that can’t be found on a standardized test. This is a great book to remind people that being smartest on a test is not all that matters in the classroom.
作者簡介
Miriam Cohen is an avid champion of the emotional rights of children, claiming interest in “children’s immense vulnerability, their need to be nurtured, encouraged, and allowed to unfold naturally.” She has spent many hours in classrooms reading, listening to and talking with children “not as a lecturer, but as a fellow writer.” This time spent in the company of children is one reason why her books ring true, and why young readers identify with her characters and hear themselves in her voice.
