This story has an amusing tongue-in-cheek quality in which the text can be read as exaggeration but the pictures bear out the child's perspective. For children accused of having wild imaginations, this is an affirming treat. Just might convince complaining children that their school isn't so bad after all. --Kirkus reviews Along with being a good choice for children anxious about their own upcoming first day, this offers a nifty exercise in reading between the lines.--Booklist
