El Examen de Primer Grado/First Grade Takes A Test

This timely book, reissued with new art, goes right to the heart of the school testing issue. When the lady from the principal's office brings in a test for the first grade class, the children find that none of the proffered answers are exactly right, so they have trouble with the test. Fortunately, their teacher knows what's really important: being creative and being a good friend, things that can't be found on a standardized test. This is a great book to remind people that being smartest on a test is not all that matters in the classroom.
