Some of us, when we were children or even in our teenage, we were scared of exams; we got anxious, we were stressed, we had the fear of failing, and the fear of our best friend sitting far from our bench resulting in some sicknesses. Similarly, the title of the book made me think that a child had fever due to the approaching final exams. But that changed when I looked at the cover picture of the book several times. The picture has two children with their big surprised eyes and mouths open, a bulky grandma, who is in a position of singing, and a caring and worried man offering medicines and water to the female character who is sick. At first sight, I thought this female character was a grown-up girl who was going to appear for an exam but when I focused on it, it was a lady and the mother of two children. The book is for Level 2 children who can recognize familiar words and can read new words with help.
