NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Putting an uplifting spin on a classic poem, this charmingly illustrated and lyrical picture book prepares kids—and their parents!—for all the firsts that first grade has to offer. “T’was the night before first grade. I kissed my dog Clover. ‘School’s starting tomorrow Because summer is over.’” Penny is excited to begin first grade with her best friend by her side in the same classroom. They even prepared ahead of time with matching outfits! But when things at school don’t pan out the way they plan, Penny and her best friend are split into different classes where they’ll have to make new friends with new students. With colorful illustrations, rhyming text, and a fun surprise at the end, this encouraging story about starting first grade prepares kids to tackle back-to-school jitters. Review: Great book - Ordered this book for my daughter who started first grade. We loved reading this together the night before her first day. Her teacher read the same book on her first day of school. She loved! Review: Love the story and the illustrations! - The story is sweet, funny, and super relatable—especially for little ones who are a mix of excited and nervous about a new school year. She loved seeing Penny so pumped to be with her best friend, and the twist at the end had us both smiling. The rhyming style is fun to read aloud, and the illustrations are colorful and full of energy. This book made bedtime the night before school so much more special—and way less scary. Highly recommend for any soon-to-be first grader!

I purchased this for my friend's child. She has been so nervous to start 1st grade. After reading the book, she seemed less nervous & very excited. This was such a cute book to read.

Perfect for Back-to-School Nerves
I gave this book to my daughter the night before her first day, and she loved it! The story is fun, easy to follow, and really helped ease her nerves about starting first grade. A sweet tradition for back-to-school.

Cute, but my daughter wasn’t very interested in it.
I thought this book would excite my daughter as she started first grade, but it was just meh. It might be good to read to your child in the summer leading up to the start of first grade, but really ended up being an unnecessary purchase for the night before first grade started.

Meine Tochter liebt die Bücher dieser Serie sehr. Sie greifen immer wieder wichtige Tage im Leben eines Kindes auf und illustrieren sie mit schönen Bildern und liebevollen Texten. Eine wunderbare Gute-Nacht-Lektüre.

Super cute, great price.
Very pleased with the recent price. Love these books for different occasions. I was very disappointed that my book arrived damaged, bent in half with strong crease mark and marks along the spine. But still over all pleased
