Bookroo's summary

Henry loves kindergarten, except for show-and-tell, which makes him freeze with fear. As his classmate Tony taunts him, Henry's compassionate teacher devises a clever plan to help him face his anxiety. With the aid of his pet lizard, Henry embarks on a journey to overcome his public speaking dread. Will he find the courage to share his story with the class? Discover how a little creativity and support can turn fear into triumph in this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

Henry really likes kindergarten&150there’s painting, singing, story time and lots of new things to learn. But there’s one thing Henry doesn’t like: show and tell! His legs get all shaky and he’s too shy to speak. And it doesn’t help that his classmate Tony always asks, “Is Henry going to barf?” Just in time, Henry’s kind teacher comes to the rescue with a great plan for helping him overcome his fears. With bright, humorous illustrations and cheerful, clear text, Nancy Carlson delivers another winner that directly and in matter-of-fact fashion addresses children’s concerns.
