Children will have no trouble figuring out the reason for bunny Little Tooth's worried thoughts: it's her first day at school. In Montanari's acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations, the world is sharp and angular, with pointy pencils and even pointy (and amusingly adroit) bunny ears. The nifty surprise ending will make this a comforting book to anxious kindergartners or first-graders and perhaps their parents, too.
