This book talks about how to overcome fear of being in front of an audience. Most students are nervous talking in front of their peers this can be a good book to build their confidence.
Like other Berenstain Bears books this one gives a good moral while following the activities of the curious bear family. The pictures are fun and the story is easily followed.
