Description

Excited about holding onto his position as the best speller in the second grade, Pinky has an embarrassing accident but is cheered up by his best friend Rex.

Description

Rex is a terrible speller, and she's afraid she's going to embarrass herself in front of the whole class at today's spelling bee. Pinky, on the other hand, is a great speller, and he's sure he's going to be champion of the second grade again. But Pinky isn't counting on the new kid in class, who's a great speller, too. And he's certainly not counting on embarrassing himself in a way so terrible that winning or losing doesn't even matter. It's a good thing he can count on Rex to make him feel better on the worst day of his life.

Another short chapter book about Pinky. This book sends an excellent message about friendship. Pinky is embarrassed and the whole class laughs at him but luckily he has a friend to comfort him.

My 3 year old was very bothered that the girl is named Rex and the boy is named Pinky. We had a little argument about it. That aside, I like the message about how to deal with embarrassing situations.
