I read this book at school and asked my Mummy to buy it for us for home. I like the singing, poems and the teacher Miss Flotsam. She has travelled all around the world and tells the class about her adventures. There is a girl in the book who is really shy, she writes a poem and manages to read it to the class. Sometimes I feel nervous at school too, so I could relate to this book and how it feels like you’re ’climbing a mountain’ when you stand up infront of everyone. The pages are colourful and pretty and the drawings are really good!
