"An essential purchase that is simultaneously funny, frank, and soothing. A perfect first day read-aloud."―
School Library Journal
, starred review
A heartwarming and clever first day of school tale, from
New York Times
bestsellers Adam Rex (
The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors
) and Christian Robinson (
Last Stop on Market Street
).
It's the first day of school at Frederick Douglass Elementary and everyone's just a little bit nervous, especially the school itself. What will the children do once they come? Will they like the school? Will they be nice to him?
The school has a rough start, but as the day goes on, he soon recovers when he sees that he's not the only one going through first-day jitters.
This delightful back-to-school picture book told from the POV of the school is a great read-aloud, and perfect for readers of all ages.
