This book tells the story of a young girl who is afraid to share during show and tell at her school. She anticipates things that she could share with her class, but she often gets discouraged because the things are not spectacular enough. Each day at school, her teacher asks her if she would like to share anything, and she declines. Eventually, the young girl decides to bring her father to share with the class. She is happy when she is accepted by her fellow students in the class. Sharing her father with the class happened to be the best choice that she could have made.

This was a fun read! It was a cute little book and I loved the positivity. This would be good in the classroom to encourage students to participate. Mary Jo was very shy until she worked up the courage to bring her dad in for show and tell. This could help the shy students see that speaking up and actively participating in class is a good thing and not actually that bad once you get over the fear of it.
