Critics Review
Praise for the Kids in Mrs. Z’s Class Series”[A] wholesome read…buoyant.“–Publishers Weekly“Believable characters experiencing age-appropriate challenges: making new friends, navigating social groups, overcoming shyness, and dealing with embarrassment…. Share with fans of Annie Barrows’ Ivy and Bean books or Sara Pennypacker’s Clementine series.”–Booklist“Buy the book and the series. Kids need access to this diverse classroom of students who face everyday crises with their supportive friends, and this gentle read shows the goodness in the world without being overly sappy.”–SLJ“This new series is giving [Polk Street School] vibes. I absolutely love that each book is written by a different author and I love how diverse the classroom is… The great thing about [these] books is they showcase kids working together and supporting each other.”–Teen Librarian Toolbox“Uplifting and encouraging.”–Kirkus Reviews
