Jones fans.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review Mrs. Pidgeon’s class is preparing for their Thanksgiving pageant, and the lead role of Squanto is up for grabs. So is the role of Room Mother. Gooney Bird promises to find one if she can be the lead. There’s just one catch: the person she convinces to be Room Mother insists on being anonymous. As the class struggles to decorate the mural, make costumes, and learn their songs for the pageant, the suspense builds: Will it be a success? And who is their mysterious Room Mother?
