Reach for this book when your child comes home feeling defeated by a school assessment or when they begin to define their self-worth by a letter grade. It is a comforting balm for the 'test anxiety' that can start as early as first grade, reminding children that their value lies in things a standardized test can never measure: kindness, creativity, and common sense. In this classic story, a class of first graders is thrown into confusion by a standardized intelligence test. The questions are tricky and do not account for the children's real-life logic or emotional intelligence. While one student is moved to a 'special' class, the rest are left feeling 'dumb' until their teacher helps them see that being smart comes in many different forms. It is an essential read for building academic resilience and self-confidence in kids ages 5 to 8.
