Synopsis
Although Tommy fails to get the part of Peter Rabbit in the kindergarten play, he still finds a way to be the center of attention on stage., An enthusiastic tap dancer with an unruly mop of brown hair, Tommy can hardly wait for the chance to play Peter Rabbit in the upcoming kindergarten class play. Most unsatisfactorily, he ends with the bit part of silent Mopsy. Though he seizes the chance to steal the show with onstage antics that cause a laugh riot, his teacher and fellow actors are not so pleased. After saying he's sorry, Tommy feels ready for the stage once again, as he's truly "stagestruck." Another fun, nostalgic picture book based on Tomie dePaola's own childhood, the story is accompanied by his characteristically colorful, blocky acrylic paintings. Author of the 2000 Newbery Honor-winning 26 FAIRMONT AVENUE.
