Speaking in front of the class isnt easy for small people like Melissa Herman Especially when theres nothing very special to say about her house or her family or herself But with the help of her older brother Melissa borrows a bottle from her fathers dental office to take to show and tell The teacher is appalled but the children are intrigued David Catrows hilariously zany illustrations reveal that there is nothing ordinary about Melissa Herman or her house or her family The bright artwork is laughaloud funny and will have children begging to hear the story again or maybe invent their very own tale
