Birdie's Big-Girl School Day

40 pp. | Little | July, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-40745-8 $17.00
(4) K-3 In fashion-forward Birdie's latest mixed-media outing, she's anxious about her first day of school, with help from the rumor mill ("I hear your teacher, Mr. Bobbins, is half...werewolf!"). The narrative features exposition-heavy dialogue ("I should be excited for my first day of school, but I'm scared") and no conflict: Birdie loves school. It's style over substance, sure, but A-plus style.
