Description

This book is about an imaginative little boy who is not sure about going to school. He has all kinds of questions for his mom and he soon realizes that going to school might be more fun than he ever thought possible.

Quick Summary

For kids who are nervous about the first day of school, this story follows a wiggly, imaginative kid who thinks up all sorts of wild worries monsters in the hallway, a lunch lady who might not like his favorite sandwich while his mom gently flips each fear into a silly, empowering scenario. The humor is warm and the rhymes keep the pages turning, making it a great pick for early readers who like a little silliness with their reassurance. Parents will love the way it models how to talk a child through anxiety without dismissing their feelings, and the bright, cartoon-style pictures keep the tone light. It's especially perfect for reluctant readers or anyone who's ever had a case of the first-day jitters, and it pairs nicely with books like The Kissing Hand for a comforting bedtime read-aloud.
