Room 109 does not have a fluffy hamster, a chirping bird, or a lizard with a dramatic stare. Arlo’s classroom has a plant. A green, quiet, not-very-exciting plant.
At least, that is how it seems at first. When Arlo gives the plant a name, Jerry becomes something the whole class can care about. Watering, watching, waiting, and wondering turn into a shared classroom adventure as Jerry begins to grow in ways the students did not expect.
Funny, warm, and full of school-day charm, The World’s Best Class Plant is a picture book about responsibility, patience, and discovering that living things do not have to wiggle or squeak to become wonderfully important.
