Chrysanthemum is a young mouse who absolutely loves her name. She loves the way it looks and sounds, until her first day of school. The other students jeer and make fun of Chrysanthemum's name. She then starts to dislike and just hate every aspect of her name! One morning the students meet the music teacher, Mrs. Twinkle. Everyone in the class thinks that Mrs. Twinkle is just the greatest thing ever. Mrs. Twinkle decides that Chrysanthemum's class should but on a musicale so she assigns each student a role. Of course Chrysanthemum gets the role of a daisy. All the girls laugh at Chrysanthemum but Mrs. Twinkle brightens Chrysanthemum's day by encouraging her and giving her a new outlook on her name.
This book would be an excellent book to read to students to encourage them not to make fun of others. It illustrates a good lesson on how everyone is different and should be respected for their individuality. Chrysanthemum can teach children to accept who they are regardless if they are different than other students. If everyone were the same how boring would this world be!
