“Chrysanthemum grew and grew and grew.”12
“She loved the way it sounded when her mother woke her up.
She loved the way it sounded when her father called her for
dinner.
And she loved the way it sounded when she whispered it to
herself in the bathroom mirror.”

On the first day, Chrysanthemum wore her sunniest dress and
her brightest smile. She ran all the way.
“Hooray!” said Chrysanthemum. “School!””
“Chrysanthemum thought her name was absolutely perfect.
And then she started school.
“But when Mrs. Chud took roll call, everyone giggled
upon hearing Chrysanthemum’s name.”

When a vowel letter is
followed by an r, the vowel
and the r represent one
murmuring vowel sound;
therefore, the vowel sound
is r-controlled
