(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Ormerod. On the eve of the first day of preschool, a boy's excitement turns to apprehension, and he decides that he'll sit out the first day. In this reassuring first-person narrative, illustrated with homey watercolors, the boy's harried but attentive parents convince him to take along his stuffed toy monkey--a tactic that helps make an ultimately welcoming place less initially intimidating.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
