REVIEWS

"This excellent addition to the series is a perfect choice for newly independent readers."
School Library Journal

"...Do yourself and your students a favor: get to know Iris and Walter." Michigan Reading Journal

"...though the stars here are Walter and Iris, and their dear friendship, Guest adds a dandy supporting cast in Grandpa who is always there to say the right thing, and Miss Cherry, the understanding teacher with creative ideas and sensible solutions. Daveniers's swirling, lively watercolors capture Iris's exuberance and Walter's worrywart expression."
Kirkus Reviews


Iris and Walter can’t wait for their very first school play. Walter helps Iris make her costume. Iris helps Walter practice his lines. And after the play, Miss Cherry is giving the class an ice-cream party!
But when Iris wakes up on the morning of the
play, she’s in for a big disappointment. Poor Iris her big day is ruined!
Luckily, with a best friend like Walter and a teacher like Miss Cherry, there’s always something wonderful just around the corner.
