First Day — Margaret Wild

On the first day of school . . . Alex hopes she will make a friend, Salma wants to learn to write NOW, Stephen is a little bit scared, and Penny is as wriggly as a tadpole. But what is that puppy dog, Josh, up to? A story book for parents to read with young children about to begin school, or for older children to read when they are remembering their first days at school.
