Picture Book Month: School

The first day of school can be nerve-wracking… even for the school itself! This is the adorable story of a school who’s not quite sure that he wants to be a school. Lots of kids seems like a lot of work, but after learning the kids names, learning about shapes in kindergarten, eating lunch, having an accidental fire alarm and playing on the playground, school knows that being a school is the best type of building to be. This is a great story about first day jitters and lets kids look at things from another perspective!
