(2) K-3 Illustrated by Shane Prigmore. Whether starting at the kindergarten around the corner or on another planet, the mission is always a daring one. When this book's protagonist arrives at Planet Kindergarten, he discovers that his classmates from around the galaxy are just as nervous as he is. Light, tongue-in-cheek text and digital illustrations with a 1950s-throwback vibe make for a humorous space-age take on the first-day-of-school story.
