Billy and the Big New School

(4) PS Illustrated by Catherine Anholt. Billy is nervous about school and worried that he might cry, get lost, or not be able to tie his shoes. While a baby bird he has found slowly gets strong enough to fly away, Billy finds the courage to go to school and make friends. Although the message is too obviously stated, young listeners will enjoy the sprightly illustrations, which are cheerful without undercutting Billy's inner struggle.
