(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Newell DePalma. Straightforward text describes the various morning routines of kids preparing for school ("Some of the children bound out of bed...one child burrows under the covers, hiding"). All the kids arrive to find a welcoming ceremony intended to assuage their first-day trepidations. The text is reassuring, and the accompanying acrylic illustrations are unfussy and cheerful.
