A younger sibling's curiosity about school opens up a world of
possibilities in this ode to the great outdoors.
Tomorrow is the first day of the new school year, and big sister Mona
can't wait to go back. "What do you do at school?" asks little brother
Milo. As he listens to Mona recount the many things she does during the
school week -- riding the bus, practicing spelling and reading, learning
about science, playing with friends -- Milo's activities illustrate that
with a little imagination, nature itself can be a classroom. With
delightfully naive artwork and a spare text, Toni Yuly shows that
learning is play and vice versa, offering a gentle introduction to
school for children who are just starting and a warm celebration for
those who are going back.
