Publisher Description
A hilarious back-to-school story from the creator of CatStronauts, Drew Brockington
When a boy and his family move, he has to start all over at a new school—and gets plenty of first day jitters. The teachers will be different, he'll have to make new friends, and he won't even know where the bathroom is!
On the first day, he nervously gets on the bus, only to end up at Puppy School. Everything is strange and different—but at the end of the day, new friends prove that maybe starting at someplace new isn't so bad after all.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A story that's got all the markers of a classic anxiety dream becomes an amusing balm for hesitant school-goers in Brockington's deftly comic picture book. The protagonist, a pink-skinned kid with a round-headed, angsty Peanuts mien, isn't thrilled about starting at a brand-new school: "The teachers will be different. I'll have to make all new friends. I won't even know where the bathroom is." But these worries end up constituting a massive understatement: having somehow boarded the bus to Leroy's Puppy School, endearingly goofy cartooning reveals, the child is the only human on the premises (even the principal is a dog). The first class covers rolling over, the lunchroom serves kibble, and the toilet is a fire hydrant. But consoling licks from a canine classmate draws the child into the swing of things, and in short order, fetch, puppy piles, and howling seem like the most natural thing in the world—at least until the second day of school. Ages 4–8.
