Miss Bird announces that Tommy's class will be putting on the spring play for the whole school. When she says they will be performing Peter Rabbit, Tommy can hardly sit still. He's sure he will be the perfect Peter. But Tommy is so excited that he talks too much and doesn't listen. So Miss Bird gives the part of Peter to Johnny, and Tommy has to play Mopsy, one of the rabbits.

Tommy is disappointed until he gets an idea. Maybe he can't be the star, but he can get the audience's attention. Mopsy steals the show. Then he can't figure out why Miss bird and his mom are not shouting out "Bravo!"

Drawing on childhood memories, Tomie dePaola gives readers a warm and funny story sure to appeal to kids who will love being stagestruck!
