(3) K-3 Illustrated by Joan Rankin. In alphabetical order, twenty-three first-grade students; their teacher, Mrs. Miller; bus driver, Xavier; and Mr. Zimmerman, the principal, prepare for first grade. A variety of morning experiences are described: Ben's mother calls him "Mr. Handsome First Grader," Claire poses for a picture to mark the big day, and Ignacio practices his English. Soft, comforting watercolors reflect the reassuring tone.
Reviewer: Betty Carter
