School's First Day of School by Adam Rex, Pictures by Christian Robinson
It's not only kids who get first-day jitters as we see in School's First Day of School written by Adam Rex and illustrated by Christian Robinson.

This charming picture book introduces a freshly built school who is wondering how the students will like him! He worries about making a good first impression and not everything goes smoothly on the first day!  He's a little bit mean to one of the students and then gets embarrassed when his fire alarm goes off. As the day progresses, though, he learns many exciting new things and makes amazing friends too.

Paired with Christian Robinson's vibrant and playful illustrations, Adam Rex has created a story perfect for any classroom read-aloud.

Readers may be surprised! You're going to love The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer...written by Davide Cale and illustrated by Benjamin Chaud!
