(3) PS Illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke. "Squeaky chairs, / secret stares, / coloring sheets with teddy bears. / Broken crayon-- / someone shares. / This is our first day." Lyrical, rhythmic, impressionistic rhymes full of memorable concrete details distinguish this first-day-jitters book from many of its ilk. Delicate watercolor and acrylic illustrations capture the young narrator's mixed emotions about an almost universal experience.
