"I closed my eyes and held on tight to Hank. That's when I decided that
going to the very first day of school was NOT a good idea."
When a child gets ready for the first day of school, it feels very
exciting. But doing something new for the first time can also feel
somewhat scary.
With great affection and humor, Robie H. Harris and Jan Ormerod,
creators of the award-winning picture book Goodbye Mousie, tell the
captivating story of a child who decides that skipping the very first
day of school is a very good idea.
But with help from his favorite stuffed animal, Hank, and his parents,
he discovers that going to the very first day of school can be fun and
exciting -- and once you have done something new, it's not quite so new
and scary anymore.
