Mr. Ouchy's First Day

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Meisel. In a twist on the traditional first day of school story, this time it's the teacher who is nervous; he's shown buying new clothes, getting a haircut, and worrying about getting lost. The teacher's first lesson (about time) is also included, which is a bit much to layer on. The mixed-media illustrations show the traditional classroom setting from interesting perspectives.
