Descripción editorial
All summer Oliver and his dad played together, laughed together, sang together, and read together.
Now it's time for Oliver to start school!
On the first day, Oliver's dad isn't quite ready. . . . Suddenly he feels nervous. His tummy hurts, and he would rather stay home.
But Oliver isn't convinced. What if the first day is really fun? What if it's the start of an exciting year?
In this charming story of first-day jitters, acclaimed author and illustrator Mike Wohnoutka perfectly captures the mixed emotions felt by kids and their parents when big changes are afoot in this read-to-me eBook.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a story of emotional transference, a boy named Oliver is completely ready for school to begin but his kind, nebbishy father with whom Oliver spent the summer playing, reading, and singing grows nervous when the big day arrives. Wohnoutka's gouache paintings poke gentle fun at Daddy, and they'll elicit giggles as Oliver's father hides from his son as they prepare to leave the house, drives "very slowly" to school, and throws a tantrum that requires the teacher to carry the man out of the building. It's a straightforward and familiar story (with a reassuring conclusion), and it should leave new students with an extra jolt of confidence. Ages 4 8.
