From School Library Journal

A book with a one-dimensional storyline, thin characterization, and little of interest going on. Bunny is delighted when she is selected to take a note from her teacher to Mrs. Walker--until she realizes that she doesn't know where Mrs. Walker's room is. After wandering the halls, she returns to her own room with the note stuffed in her pocket, unable to admit her failure to Ms. Darcy. In the end, she finds the courage to tell the truth and is given a big hug by "the best teacher in the whole world." Even though Karas has imbued the characters with brown and yellow skin tones and various types of hair color, the attempt to convince readers that this is a multiracial classroom falls short because of the similarity of all the children's facial features. Even the black teacher has the same face. This title should be considered only after Patricia Reilly Giff's "Kids of Polk Street School " series and the "Polka-dot Mystery" series (both Delacorte). --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA
