It’s the first day of school! What will this year bring?
While one student dreams of scoring a goal in the first soccer game of the school year, another envisions a perfect report card. Another student hopes that he will grow much taller by the next summer. The lone new student in the class happily anticipates making lots of friends.
Yet another student would be simply be satisfied not having a problem with losing his homework this year!
Winning a prize at the science fair, snow days (as many as possible, of course), Skateboard Day, the school play, the annual field trip, taking care of the class pet and even looking good in the class picture are also happily anticipated by other students in the class.
Comical and colorful artwork add to the appeal of this upbeat picture book about the return to school after summer holidays. Written by a former teacher, Kay Winters, it would be an excellent choice of story to share at this time of year.
The Stratford Public Library has many more stories for children about starting or returning to school.
