BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
It is the first day of school and the young is nervous. She feels like she has "giant-sized butterflies" in her stomach. After breakfast, her mom drives her to school. She sure wishes that her mom would stay with her all day. To comfort her, her mom tells her that her parents had giant-sized butterflies in their stomachs when she was born. Everyone gets big butterflies in their stomachs! Soon the little girl realizes that the butterflies will guide her and help her on her adventure- the first day of school.
Lots of kids are nervous for the first day of school. The little girl in the book looks like she is starting Kindergarten. I liked that it acknowledged that everyone, kids, and adults, get nervous, yet they can overcome their fears to appreciate what is going on around them. The family and the little girl have slightly darker skin with dark hair.
