Publisher Description
Read along with Hyperion! "Oh, yes, yes!" Penelope is so excited about the first day of school that she's doing her happy hippo dance. She can't wait to wear her rainbow sparkle outfit, bring her favorite stuffed toy for show-and-tell, and share a big picnic lunch with all her new friends. "Oh, no, no!" says her best pal Tiny, who started school last year. He has a few tips for Penelope about fitting in without sticking out. Follow along with word-for-word narration as the friends' very different ways of handling peer opinion create hilarious scenes that will erase any anxiety before the first day of school.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Penelope is one self-confident and stylish hippo. When she proudly models potential first-day outfits (one includes a loud floral dress, zebra-print leggings, and a feather boa), her best friend Tiny is horrified. Having started school a year earlier, the cautious mouse advises her to wear clothing that will let her "fit right in," and nixes her idea of bringing a lavish picnic lunch and a beloved stuffed animal. Penelope's effervescence leaps from the page as she follows her own muse and learns that she's not the only outside-the-box thinker at school. With humor and sensitivity, Plourde and Cornelison underscore the importance of being true to oneself. Ages 4 8.
