Oh my goodness, you're so right. Although, I think the parents end up crying more than the kidsMiriam Molina wrote: ↑29 Jan 2019, 17:05 The first day of preschool is usually pandemonium: kids wailing, parents stressed out, and teachers ready to tear their hair out. This might be a good book to read to the kids way before the first day. Then, hopefully, "D Day" will be terrific, instead of terrible.
Thanks for the enjoyable review, Bianka!
I know. I would have loved for school to have started at that time. Actually, I would have loved for it not to have started at all!
I wish that too! School would have been so much more tolerable!

Clocks' hands in stores are normally set to 10:10, which would have been fine; although there are some schools where kids start their half-day classes in the afternoon, 10:05 is not so usual indeed. I think I would've loved a book like this when I was a child. Thank you for your engaging and insightful review.

Absolutely, what was even better was the other children in the class. They were all colours and sizes tooBelleReadsNietzsche wrote: ↑12 Feb 2019, 18:40 This sounds adorable! It’s so important for kids to be able to imaginatively walk through big changes like this first. I also like that the book features a black child; it’s important all children get books where they see themselves in the lead. Agree with your assessment of the 10:05 time. I don’t know any preschoolers willing to sleep that late even without going to school.
