First-day-of-school jitters have never been funnier or more reassuring
than in this picture book by the New York Times bestselling author
Jory John and critically acclaimed illustrator Liz Climo
It's almost the first day of school, and the animals are nervous. Sloth
worries about getting there on time, snake can't seem to get his
backpack fastened onto his body, and bunny is afraid she'll want to hop
around instead of sitting still. When they all arrive at their
classroom, though, they're in for a surprise: Somebody else is nervous
too. It's their teacher, the armadillo! He has rolled in as a ball, and
it takes him a while to relax and unfurl. But by the next day, the
animals have all figured out how to help one another through their
jitters. School isn't so scary after all.
