But Inez's friends talk with her only about math, she may become the teacher's pet, and a jealous student asks her to answer incorrectly once in a while.

But Inez's friends talk with her only about math, she may become the teacher's pet, and a jealous student asks her to answer incorrectly once in a while. Inez has math problems, and not the fun kind she likes to solve; but with gentle coaxing from her teacher Miss Ella Louella Santa Rose Plum, Inez knows the best answer to all of them.

    What a great play for young audiences with a lesson on acceptance (both of oneself and of others) and some math facts as well. I love that the teacher is seen as an all-knowing, larger than life figure by the kids, which is how teachers are so often seen by their students in elementary school.

    It's said that everything we needed to know in life we learned in kindergarten, but all the rules of life we learned on the playground at school. Martin's funny and very touching play for children, and adults mind you, comes in all the right doses that will give you a shot of much needed appreciation of friendships and just what a friend means to each of us.

    This is a super cute play for kids that doesn't talk down to its audience. There's plenty of humor for grown-ups, too. The kid in me loves the characters' names: Inez Cupcakes, Kiki Pineapple, Victor Mango, etc. This should be a popular piece for children's programs.
