The World's Best Class Plant

While every other classroom has an exciting pet, Arlo's Room 109 is stuck with a plant, until he names it Jerry and something unexpected starts to grow. As the class learns to care for Jerry, the once-boring plant becomes the center of a school-wide celebration. This is a charming choice for students because it sneaks real plant science into a funny, heartfelt story about patience, responsibility, and finding wonder in something easy to overlook.
