Cute. It’s a longer story so better for kids older than 5, but it is very cute. Book is in good shape. Nice message, theme.

Chrysnthemum by Kevin Henken (1991)
Chrysnthemum,by Kevin Henken, is a charming story about understanding identity and becoming acquainted with one's own self esteem, and happy with what you are. The book opens as Chrysnathemum is born and adored be both parents. Through her lifespan, before Kindergarten she is very happy with herself and her name. It is only when she meets new children with smaller names that "fit" on their Name Tags that she begans to question her name that is too long and is called by a flower. Chrysnathemem has many unhappy days at school and home. Her parents begin trying everything they know to make her happy. Hugs and kisses, chocolate cake with buttercram frosting and Parcheesi. Then Music Day comes at school. Mrs. Twinkle has a voice somewhat like a dream. This makes the students speechless. She ...

It is only when she meets new children with smaller names that "fit" on their Name Tags that she begans to question her name that is too long and is called by a flower. Chrysnathemem has many unhappy days at school and home. Her parents begin trying everything they know to make her happy. Hugs and kisses, chocolate cake with buttercram frosting and Parcheesi. Then Music Day comes at school. Mrs. Twinkle has a voice somewhat like a dream. This makes the students speechless. She assigns roles for the class musicale. Everone has what they think is a staring role. But, Chrysanthemumis chosen as a daisy. Everyone laughes. Askes Mrs.Twinke; "What is so humorous?" "Chrysanthemum!" was the answer." "Her name does not fit her name tag, and it sounds like a Grandmother, and a flower." "Well, my name is long. It is Delphinium. Delphinium Twinkle. And if my baby is a girl, I'm considering Chrysanthemum as a name. I think it is absolutely perfect." This made Chrysanthemum feel special about herself, her name, and with the people she had to go to school with. One reason this is one of my favorite books is the story itself. It is simply told, but easily understood. It sparks good discussions about Character, Self Esteem, Family, Correct and Incorrect behavior for children in school settings, Feelings about one's self, and Taking Pride in one's work. I highly recommend this book for ages 4-8. Discussions are good for Guidance Counselors, or Classroom Teachers through their weekly Guidance lessons. I am a Retired Early Childhood Classroom Teacher that also worked with University Interns. I had given my copy away, and this is to replace mine. I plan to mentor and aide children that could use extra help with reading. I am beginning to replenish my beloved choices. Then when I am ready to begin working with Children I will have my own copies that I treasure. This will reflect in my voice as I read, and on my face, as I express how Chrysanthemum felt throughout the story. Thank you, Linda Strickland

Great Children's Book!!
My kids and I absolutely love this book! I'm always concerned about my kids being as resilient as possible to the teasing they will likely experience at school. This book addresses this problem in a very creative and entertaining way. This is a story about a little mouse who's parents named her Chrysanthemum because it was the "perfect" name for her. The little mouse loves her name until she enters school where 3 other little girl mice make fun of this name. From then on, Chrysanthemum experiences sadness and self-doubt that all kids experience at times. In the end, the music teacher tells the 3 mean girl mice that she also has a long name. The 3 girls like the music teacher, so they immediately think Chrysanthemum isn't such a bad name and try to adopt names of flowers for ... My kids and I absolutely love this book!

Kevin does an excellent job of writing the thoughts and behaviors so many kids think and do when they are teased in school. His artwork is also very good. I highly recommend this book for all families!

A Sweet Flower - Chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum loved her name...until she went to school. The children teased her. They said her name was too long. They said that her name is a flower. Chrysanthemum wilted and cried. She said that school was not for her. One day, Chrysanthemum went to music class. The music teacher said her name was Delphinium Twinkle. She was named after a flower too! Mrs. Twinkle was expecting a baby...guess what she decided to name her baby? Children will love the story of Chrysanthemum. This book deals with the problem of teasing and poking fun at children who are different. Excellent for building self-esteem and acceptance.Chrysanthemum loved her name...until she went to school.
