Description

Kids arenÕt the only ones who get nervous on the first day of school!

ItÕs the first day of school and Miss Macintosh is certain about one thing: she isnÕt going! As she snuggles back under the covers, the doorbell rings. In comes Mr. Bellweather, the school principal who assures her that all kindergarten teachers have first day jitters.

Soon, other teachers arrive to help get her out the door. Mrs. Burger, the lunch lady, makes sure she has a good breakfast; Mrs. Sketcher, the art teacher, helps her pick out clothes. Still, Miss Macintosh is anxious. What if she canÕt find her class? What if no one likes her?

When she finally stands at the front of her class, she can tell that the children are nervous too. ThatÕs when she comes up with an idea to put everyone at ease Ñ including herself.

A perfect read-aloud to children who may be anxious about school, this book will get them laughing Ñ and reassure them Ñ as they get ready for the big day.
