Illustrated by
Renée Andriani.
On the first day of school, the teacher asks: "What do you hope will happen this year?" The kids provide some humorous responses. Accompanying illustrations expand upon each request; e.g., a wish for "a field trip to someplace really cool" is shown as a trip to an anti-gravity chamber. It's an entertaining and reassuring presentation.
