PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a jovial chapter book series launch with Toy Story flair, Bardhan-Quallen and Cas zoom in on a population of animal-shaped classroom toys encountering interpersonal dynamics on their first day of Squishy School, "where students stick together to learn!" Bright prose proceeds stepwise, introducing earnest dinosaur squishy Tyra as she double checks her bookbag, packed with teacher-requested items (plus extras and a favorite stuffed animal). Feeling prepared, Tyra heads for the Yellow Book Cart Bus stop, where she meets fellow new students Axel, an axolotl, and Spike, a hedgehog. But when Tyra realizes that the pair are friends, she worries that she's missing something: "Friends weren't on the teacher's list!" As the day progresses, Tyra's concerns multiply, until classmates' compassionate actions demonstrate that the best part of a new experience can be the surprises encountered along the way. Shape-based b&w art depicts every friendship mishap and opportunity across this animated, bubbly look at first-day-of-school-jitters. Ages 6–9.
