Students aren't the only ones who have to prepare for the first day of school.
The custodian turns on the lights and sweeps the hallways. Is it time for school? Not yet! The cafeteria workers wash tables and stack lunch trays. Is it time for school? Not yet! Teachers unpack supplies and organize their classrooms. Is it time for school? Almost! The students are on their way, on foot, on bicycles, and in cars and buses. Welcome, everyone!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Nolan spotlights the labor that makes a school run in this nuts-and-bolts narrative, which encourages appreciation for tasks that occur before the bell rings. Neradova's sunny scenes cast varied animals as school staff. Following spread-opening noun triplets ("Office. Computer. Telephone"), simple prose encompasses bus drivers; cafeteria workers; crossing guards; physical, speech, and occupational therapists; teachers; and others as they each do their thing ("Tap. Tap. Tap. The principal types the morning announcements"). The morning unfolds predictably until a moment of drama arrives when the Wi-Fi goes out ("Will students be able to learn?"). Luckily, a furry technology specialist gets the place back online just in time for the arrival of pupils—a cheery conclusion to this bright-eyed portrait of the individuals who make school happen for students. Ages 4–8.
