(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Teague. Martian first grade is not what Horus expected--there are no naps, no snacks, and no "slime table" as there were in martiangarten--and he has a horrible day. But when he meets Pelly, a new student from Phobos who's afraid of first grade, too, he offers to show her the ropes. Corey's lean, on-target story about transitioning from kindergarten is complemented by Teague's humorous cartoon illustrations.
