review 1: Because he's practiced so many times, a young boy is ready to sing for the school talent show. Plus, he's wearing all his lucky clothing. But as time nears for him to perform, he grows increasingly nervous, and tangles up his words. When he's frozen in place and two boys boo, he somehow manages to get up and sing that song. Although the text is deliberately repetitive, which may put off some readers, it captures the boy's emotions perfectly. Readers will like how things turn out as well as the various lift-the flap elements included in the book's illustrations, which do a marvelous job of capturing the personalities of the singer and the other performers and audience members.
review 2: The morning of the talent show, one little boy isn't nervous at all... until... more it gets closer and closer to his turn. Suddenly, his words come out all wrong and, worst of all, two boys boo. In the end, he perseveres, sings his song, and finishes to a round of applause. Not only does this read aloud offer an accessible lesson about overcoming fears, it features building repetition and interactive lift-the-flap elements throughout that will keep listeners engaged. less
