The Kids in Mrs. Z's Class: Poppy Song Bakes a Way

Meet the kids in Mrs. Z’s wacky and wonderful third-grade class! Poppy Song loves to bake just like her grandmother, but her skills are put to the test when a tricky recipe and a forgetful grandmother lead her into a sticky situation. Poppy Song loves sharing sweet treats with other people—just like her grandmother Po Po, who used to have her own bakery. When the kids in Mrs. Z’s class hear about a fancy dessert called Dragon's Beard candy, they can't wait for Poppy to make some and bring it in. Poppy is excited to try to make the candy, but she has other worries on her mind. Po Po has been acting differently lately, putting items back in the wrong places, even mixing up ingredients in the recipes she knows by heart! When this new forgetfulness puts Po Po in danger, Poppy must find the courage to help their family figure out a way forward.  Both sweetly poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, with black-and-white illustrations by Pura Belpré Honor artist Kat Fajardo, Poppy’s story invites readers into Mrs. Z’s class where empathy and fun rule the school, from New York Times bestselling author Karina Yan Glaser.  Perfect for!★ My Weirdtastic School fans★ Reluctant readers★ Classroom read-alouds★ Andrew Clements fans★ Bakers★ Grandparents Day  Read them all!
