The First Day of School

Kids nervous about the first day of school? Enjoy getting ready for the big event with Danny, Jack and Marta, as they take turns telling the story of their experience with The First Day of School. Danny is starting second grade and is excited. Jack is finally going into Kindergarten and is a little bit nervous. Marta is going to Pre-school for the first time and is downright scared. Have fun reading these stroies with your children as they experience these emotions, and help them begin another wonderful school year. Written in English and Spanish, these stories are also perfect for bilingual readers. For those of you who enjoyed A Summer Vacation, this story is a perfect follow-up to help everyone through the transition from one season to the next. Found on most self-publishing websites, enjoy many Back-to-School discounts.
