First grader Jessica has trouble reading aloud. She dreads Reading Theater Day, when everyone performs for parents and classmates. Practicing with her dog at home gives Jessica confidence, and she gets through her part with no problem. This third book about Jessica's worries is funny and reassuring. Watercolor caricatures featuring big-eyed children play up Jessica's worrywart tendencies.
