Mission: Back to School: Top-Secret Information

32 pp. | Random | July, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-385-38471-1 $16.99 | Library ISBN 978-0-375-97349-9 $19.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-0-385-38472-8
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Lundquist. A numbered command on every page gives readers straight-faced instructions for a "mission," while corresponding illustrations show an everyday school-related activity. The agents "gather for debriefing" (sit in a circle), "practice decoding" (reading), "raid supplies" (eat lunch), and lastly "issue a final report" (share their day with family at dinnertime). Pair this appealing first-day-of-school book with genre favorites such as Ganz-Schmitt's Planet Kindergarten.
