First Day of School

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lizzy Rockwell. These children aren't preparing for their first day of school ever but rather for the beginning of a new school year. The kids reminisce about the previous year's first day, compare how they're getting ready for the upcoming day, and look forward to a new year. Both the text and illustrations are somewhat bland, but that may reassure some anxious students.
