About This Book
In "Karen's Copycat," young Karen is eager to impress in a pottery class, especially since she's with older kids. When she finds herself unable to keep up, she makes the regrettable decision to submit another student's piece as her own. This chapter book gently explores themes of self-confidence, the pressure to succeed, and the consequences of dishonesty. It's an excellent resource for discussing feelings of inadequacy, the value of trying your best, and the importance of owning up to mistakes.
Karen is excited to prove that she can be as good as the older kids in the new nanny's pottery class, but when it turns out she cannot keep up, she decides to hand in another student's work as her own. Original.
