First Day at Zoo School

(4) K-3 On the first day of Zoo School, outgoing (and pushy) Amanda the panda decides that she and anxious Alfred the alligator will be best friends. Hurt feelings ensue when they don't see eye-to-eye: e.g., Amanda likes front-row seats, while Alfred likes to be "invisible." The comics-style format--word balloons and color-saturated pictures in frames--adds interest to a commonplace beginning-school story.
