(3) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Adapted by Colleen AF Venable. Illustrated by Honie Beam. Colors by Kiwi Byrd. Junie is excited to start kindergarten but terrified of riding the school bus. After a bad bus experience the first morning, she decides to hide rather than ride the bus home. She has fun exploring the nearly empty school oblivious to the panic she has caused. A call to 911 when she desperately needs to find a restroom leads to the story’s resolution. Venable captures the humor of the original, and the colorful digital illustrations bring Junie to life.
