Rockwell, Anne First day of School 40
pgs. HarperCollins, 2013. $6.29. Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature
Content: G ; Violence: G.
Students get
ready for going back to school; getting haircuts, buying backpacks and shoes,
and comparing stories of how nervous they were last year and what has changed.
This book sort
of doesn't work in a school library –its too late, the first day has already
happened by the time the librarian or the student reads this! Also I know quite a few students who don't get all new things each year, which made this not a right match for my school. This book would be a
better fit for a public library, so parents can help students with their back to
school jitters. The illustrations are colorful and sweet.
