"Queen of the Class" - Free Choice/ Fiction


"Queen of the Class", written by Mary Engelbreit, is a cute book that describes a little girl named Ann Estelle and a school play. Ann wants to play the Queen in the play, but is chosen by the teacher to be the stage manager because she is responsible. But Ann did not like her job, she wanted to be Queen. Little did Ann know that she would have to step in at the last minute and fill a role. At the end of the play she felt like a queen. I really enjoyed this book and think that it would be a great read for any third grader. It is very important to teach students that just because they are given something different to do than what they might have wanted to do, it does not mean that they are any less important.
