Critic reviews

"Relaxed black-and-white illustrations capture the diverse classroom. . . . Best of all is the story, which builds to a tense, beautiful climax as the identity of the room mother is revealed."--Booklist

I listened to this on audio book when I was little. It’s very fun to listen to know and I even named my stuffed animal after berry. Also the voice is very good.
